Life moves on even if we aren't ready...

Well, another school year has started, and my babies aren't babies any more.  Cole started 5th grade this year, and Makayla is in HIGH SCHOOL!  What!?!  I'm pretty sure I wasn't ready for that, but as the title of this post says, life moves on even if we aren't ready.  And Makayla turns 14 today!  Happy Birthday to Makayla!  The kids pictures from the first day of school are below.

Cole loves his teacher and is joining the school band!  He'll be playing the trombone... same as his dad when he was in his grade school band!  I'm so proud of him for wanting to try something new.  And this will also help keep him motivated to keep his grades up - double bonus for me!

Makayla started Willow Canyon High School this year - I cannot believe I have a kid in high school.  I'm getting old - but that means the rest of you are too :P  She's taking dance and concert choir - one of which is new for her, and I'm excited to see her try new things as well!  She's also joined Key Club already and will be doing community service throughout the year - not too shabby!

All in all, we are blessed with what we have, and how great the kids are doing.  Even when times get tough I'm reminded to keep things in "perspective" - thanks Elyse.  Life is good, and I need to remember that even on my bad days!  Love to you all!
