It has been an exciting week around our house. Kjerstin AND Kehan started school on Tuesday. Some how my two eldest have grown up on me. Kjerstin is now a First Grader and Kehan is in Kindergarten. They were both so excited for school. The first week has gone well and school pictures were already taken too!
First day of school "Classic" photo.
Our next bit of excitment came on Friday with Kjerstin turning 7! I have a 7 year old. It is so bittersweet. I love watching my children grow and develop into these wonderful little people but it is a bit sad to see how fast it really does go. I guess the old addage "Time flies when you're having fun." is true. It seems only yesterday that I held her in my arms. But some how I can hardly remember the days when it was just her. Even when I think about them in my mind I always feel the presence of our other 4 children pushing in, as if to say "You can't leave us out even for a moment." Even though I didn't know our younger children during those memories they are still there. It is kind of weird thing to explain. I am sure other moms out there know what I am talking about. Only thing I miss about having just Kjerstin is that I could keep my house clean! Ha ha ha! One day I will be able to have more than one room clean at a time. Just not in the near future!
