In the books...

How is it possible that a whole year has sailed by in regards to education?  I remember sitting at home a year ago in June talking with Mike about all of the change that was on the horizon.  Not only were we going to be sending Lila off to her first year of preschool, but Mike was getting ready to take the leap back into learning, too.  I remember thinking to myself..."am I ready for all of this?!"  I wasn't so sure at the time, but "poof!" a year has gone by and Mike has started another fall semester at Kirkwood and Lila has started her second year of preschool at All Saints!  We are in the midst of new notebooks, pens, pencils, crayons and such and are ready to meet another year with a lot less anxiety! 

Not only has Mike found his footing as a college student and Lila as a preschool student, but we have found our rhythm as a family.  A family that has a Daddy who works hard while Mom and Lila are off to their daily tasks, but also finds himself staying up late studying to accommodate the balance of student life and family life.  A family that has a little girl who has grown up right before our eyes and is loving learning! 

Mike started back full time on the 19th and Lila officially started her first full day yesterday, the 30th.  Here is to another successful school year for the Eddins students!
