But new chapters bring hope, joy and positive change many times. The other big first that didn’t bring tears to me but instead filled me with joy was my brother aka Uncle Robbie made a leap of faith to teach and coach in our small town this year. Miss E found him in the hallway on her first day of preschool. Robbie’s journey is full of faith and we are blessed to be a part of it.

Miss A had her own first, going to daycare without Miss E. She wasn’t overly excited about her first but managed just fine.

Hunter may be the only 15 year old that asked for a pink cake for his birthday. He inherited the “cherry cake gene” from me. And thankfully Nana aka my mother in law Carol can make a cherry cake from scratch for us.
There you have it. Blogging guilt is gone. I am truly thankful this week, for our small rural school, for healthy kids, growing and changing, even if they make me shed a few tears.
Have you had any firsts this week?
happy birthday, hunter! wow, 15!!! cherry cake sounds delicious! hope you had some vanilla ice cream to go with it, too! 🙂
glad everyone is doing well! hope your brother’s new venture will go well!
Those are some mighty big firsts! The girls are adorable and H is now a MAN….or at least he looks like one! ~nancy
*hugs* ♥
I understand how you feel. Poor internet connections and no time mean a lot of things we are doing don’t get blogged about, too.
One day hopefully, but not today.
Hope you all have a blessed weekend!
Happy birthday I love the cake. You have a beautiful family.B
Even though it made you tear up…it sounds like a fantastic week for your family.
Yes, I understand blogging guilt. Yes, sometimes I blog anyway so my mother gets the updates. 🙂 And yes, a few firsts. Oldest daughter now in high school. Oldest son switched to public school from private. Since I’d gone through the high school thing once before, my eyes were dry, but I felt like I was missing something as we drove off without big brother. It was quieter in the car, less stressful, but nevertheless, a void. They all matter. Even the ones that give us trouble. 🙂
Oh great firsts! Happy birthday Hunter!
I don’t feel that guilty but my family lays on the guilt if I don’t post – they even call me up to see if I’m okay, LOL, and then they complain. So now I have to warn them if I’m taking a day off – how ridiculous is that?!?
As for your question – my husband slaughters the chickens. I cook them. That’s our deal 😉
it seems to always be easier on the men folk -LOL-.

You have a young family and they need you more than we do, Katie. You are getting it right — I’m happy you were able to share with us at RT this week. xo
