It Begins
Description
Well, today was the day. The first day of a new stage in the Mueller home. Both girls are attending school full time this year! They were so excited to meet their teachers and settle in their classrooms. After I got them all settled in, returned to the school with their lunches and headed home, I was filled with mixed emotions. On the one hand, I am excited to see what this year brings. I’m excited to walk with our children as they learn, explore and push themselves to be the best they can be. On the other hand, I am remembering their smallness, their tenderness and our responsibility to protect them and guide them. As I leave them in the capable hands of their teachers during the day, I will not stop my job as their mommy to love, guide and embrace my little ones. Today is a tricky day but I will be thankful.
