First Day of School

OMGosh I don't even know where to start. First off I can't believe my girls are in the 4th and 6th grade. I remember Brytts first day of school. She wore these cute pink flowered shorts and white shirt. I had to put her hair in pig tails and they HAD to be even, there was a melt down if they weren't. Her shoes, pink high top cons that I picked out. I think I loved them more than she did. This year, black pants, white shirt, hair totally straight, a melt down if it isn't and BLACK high top cons, that I of course did not pick out. I guess you can say she has come full circle and she is coming into her own, which I do love. I look at my children and always wonder how many mistakes have I made that I can never take back with them. Girls are sabotaged by everything they see these days and my mother hen wants so desperately to protect them and know that I can't. I can teach them and train them but truly the rest is up to God and what he has choosen for them. I am already so very thankful for Brytt is. I look back at where I was in the 6th grade and Brytt is 100 % opposite of that, so I am blessed by God grace.


My baby is in the 4th grade.... Hold on I had to wipe a tear. Her first day of school? I don't even remember. I think it was probably too traumatic. I know she wore her nike sandals, they were a purpleish pink color and her hair would have been up on top of her head, like Pebbles. She would have walked in sucking on her first two fingers on her right hand and she would have been curling her hair with her left hand, thank goodness her hair finally filled in. She was so excited to go school like her sister, she wanted to be just like her. I think sometimes she still does, but like her sister, she is finding her own skin. She seems to be a little "darker" but that just makes me love her more. I worry about her boy craziness which started at a very young age(she had a boyfriend at three, Justin Mayfield, they were pretty cute) Sometimes I think she does it just to bother her dad and me. But God will always give us trials to stretch us and Aubrey just might be my daily trial, but that is ok with me. To know Aubrey is to love her and the more you know her the crazier and sweeter she is.

I am truly blessed my children and the young ladies they are becoming. I am excited to see what God has in store. The laughter and the tears. The boyfriends and the broken hearts. The hormones and the doldrums, I am ready for it all. I will wake up everyday and thank God for the girls he has given me and no matter what the day has in store I will go to bed every night and still praise him for the girls he has given me.
