Ethan's 3rd Grade Field Trip - soil

Ethan had another field trip to Green Spring Gardens in Falls Church to learn about soil.  Thankfully this one wasn't cancelled.  I was bummed I couldn't make it because of work, but a friend was nice enough to take some pictures and send them to me.

Ethan's 3rd Grade & Gavin's Kindergarten

I can't believe the first day of school is already here and that Gavin is now off to kindergarten!  It felt like it was yesterday when we moved to Virginia with a 3-week old Gavin.  So many emotions welling up within me, I had to hold back some tears.  Anxiousness from the anticipation and to do's on the first day, excitement with a hint of sadness as it is the end of this season and beginning of another.  I've truly enjoyed staying home with Gavin and we had a good daily rhythm going.  Going to the gym, running errands, getting grocery then home for lunch together, playing games followed by quiet time before having to go get Ethan from school.  He is such Mr. Independent and pretty much "got this" so in a way that is the hardest part for me...not feeling like he needs me as much anymore.  I really will miss our days together!! 

 

So off I go to McAllister's Deli to spend some time journaling and reflecting on this morning and then onto retail therapy!
