Here is adorable Thomas on the first day of kindergarten! He was so excited to finally go to school with his brothers today! Afterward, the PTA put on a cute "Boo-hoo Breakfast" for all the weepy parents. I did manage to successfully swallow that lump in my throat and blink back the tears as he walked up the steps into his classroom. Just another [rather emotional] thought before I finish up here: it doesn't matter how many kids I have; things just continue to be special for each one. After five, I still get excited over lost teeth, a baby finding her fists, a basket going through the hoop, or a child saying a sweet prayer. What a privilege it is to be a mother. I think these little moments of everyday life add up to one great big miracle and I'm glad I get to be here.

PERFECTLY said.
Love it! You are so cute.
Handsome man!
I know what you mean about being excited for each child. I think it would get boring if I didn't look at it from their perspective: to me, it's just another day of school or another loose tooth, but for my kids it's a totally new experience. It's fun to see how they process it in their minds.
I will say, however, that it becomes more difficult with more kids to spend as much one-on-one time as I'd like with each one. That's a continual challenge.
How cute a boo hoo breakfast that is so sweet of the PTA. I still get watery eyes when I take them for there first day and we will see what happens when Jordan goes to Jr High next year YIKES
So cute . . . the thing that always amazes me is the fact that another milestone has been reached, ALREADY! Time never went this quickly when I was little! I saw that you did Yellowstone, and because of that I almost did too - but once again you've proven to be a much braver mom than me ;) Maybe next time! Also, can't wait to see the yard - !
That is so sweet!
Happy milestones Tiff!
I'm so with you there! I thought about my kids going off to 1st grade the other day and I started to get teary just thinking of it and I have a couple years until then but it's so sad to think of them growing up. What a cute pic of Thomas! It is so wonderful being a mother, I agree....you can never have enough of all those little moments!
That's funny- the Boo Hoo breakfast..lol You said it well! Motherhood is amazing!
