1st Day of Kindergarten

It started out early today, eggs and waffles for breakfast, for everyone. Jackson seemed excited to not be the only one up this morning, but joined by his sister. For some reason, Blakely had a bad dream last night, and ended up spending the rest of the night cuddled between her two biggest fans. We took the boys to class first, then Blakely. Walked half a block to school, with mom guiding her to her classroom. Of course, we had to stop for a few pictures and such. Everything went well, and as expected. We were able to hold it together. I think. Blakely was first one in her classroom, but there were a few more lined up behind her. She knew this was going to be her 1st day of school dress. Don't you think it was perfect.
So what was the surprise this morning? Well, it was somewhat cloudy, with a few sprinkles, and as we looked down the street, we saw a rainbow in the sky. I told Blakely it was God, saying He promises to be with her all day ... and so does her mom and dad. And then, we thought, maybe it was Noah, making a rainbow with all the balloons he has stored in heaven.
And so it begins. Life. A new season. Ready or not, here we come.
