The End of May Leads Into a New Beginning

The school year is winding up fast. Today was pretty much the last day for David. He brought home his backpack filled with most of his school stuff. Tomorrow he has his class picnic. Friday he'll have Mass and then be done about 10:00 a.m.

So the end of May is the end of school. While I usually look forward to the end of school (so I can catch my breath), I'm a little sad right now thinking about it. The next time school starts, David will be a sixth grader. Middle school! A new uniform designating his new level. And Mackenzie will no longer be in preschool, she will start Kindergarten. She's had her uniform for a couple of months and plays dress up. And while she'll still be away only half the day, it will be every day from now on (she's only been going four days to preschool). My kids are getting older. And while I am at school almost every day, they are learning new things I can't teach them and meeting new people I don't know. It's the beginning of them moving on.
