Home at last

I’m finally home after a week away from the family. Jordan leaped into my arms… She was so excited I was home. It’s so darn sweet and it just keeps getting sweeter.

I was about to go to bed when I found this pile of stuffed animals on my side of the bed. Jordan put them there so her dad wouldn’t feel lonely while I was away.

My sweet almost Kindergartener. I’m so sad I missed seeing her first impressions of her new school. This afternoon was “Kindergarten Roundup.” It was a day to turn in paperwork and tour the school. Jordan has an upper-hand here since her brother is currently a third grader at the same school. I asked her what she thought about it and she told me it was “neat.”

She also told me how she met a new friend who “has the same hair color and is just as tall as me.” Height is such a big deal when you’re the youngest kids in the school. She seems cautiously excited about Kindergarten. Randy says she seemed to hold it all back when she was at the round-up. Not shy, just reserved. I’m sure that will change quickly once school starts in the Fall.
