What a wild ride the month of August has been! I can't believe my girls have now been back in school for over a week. So much excitement over the start of school since Kaelie was starting high school and Hannah middle school.
I'm so happy to report that it seems to have been a smooth transition for both. I keep thinking back to when they were small, and how exhausting it was to be a mother of a toddler and then a preschooler. It's no less exhausting now, I've decided. It's just a different kind of exhausting. It's also no less of a joy. It's so amazing to watch them grow and change and mature. What a privilege to get to be a part of their lives!
So far they are also both enjoying the sports they're participating in this fall. Hannah is a manager for the middle school volleyball team and seems to be loving it. She's also playing travel soccer, so we have those practices twice a week and then games on the weeekends. Kaelie decided to give cross country a try, and I've been amazed to see how hard she's working and throwing herself into it. Her goal is to train all year through cross country, then both indoor and outdoor track in order to be in extra-good shape by the time volleyball tryouts roll around next summer. So glad to see her setting a goal and working so hard to pursue it. Unforunately, the athletic trainer at the school seems to think Kaelie may have a stress fracture in her foot, so we'll be getting an x-ray on Tuesday. I really hope it's not...she doesn't need that kind of setback right now.
Praying that God will continue to watch after their goings and comings...
