Bittersweet

This past week, Daddy's little girl, started school for the very first time.  It was exciting and hard all at the same time.  Our first born was old enough to start Pre-K.  Boy how time flies.  Luckily,  there were no tears.   Scarlett was our little champ.  She walked right into her class room, all smiles.  She hesitated to sit down at first, there were only seats next to the boys left.  But, she did sit and started coloring.  With a big smile she waved good bye and that was that. 
 
Lane was a good sport as well.  Being only 3 he is not old enough for Pre-K this year.  However, he was deteremined he was going to school as well.  He was so handsome dressed up in his little school clothes. We had to find him a backpack like Sissy's and he had to wear it into the school just like her.  After dropping Scarlett off he said we were going to his school.  We explained he wasn't old enough.  He was ok with that.  His one little worry was lunch and who was going to feed Scarlett.  Once we told him she would eat at school he was fine.  He's been happy with Daddy and Lane alone time while Sissy is at school.

 
We are so thankful for the treatments Rassie has received.  We are overjoyed that he is in clinical remission.  Even more so, we are so BLESSED that he is able to be here with us through these Bittersweet moments of watching our children grow.
 
God Bless
