::sweet finn::

our big man had his first day of pre-k today.

i can hardly believe he is this old.

 i am so very very excited for him.  but, also can hardly believe that my sweet boy will be in kindergarten in less than a year.

 it would make me sad, if not for the immense joy and excitement it brings to both him and lily.
 they could not stop talking this morning about being the "big kids" and how soon they will ride the bus together.  she couldn't stop hugging him as he got ready for school.  and he wore his backpack to walk her to the bus and never took it off for the hour and 15 minutes we waited to head to his school.

his mama may not be ready, but he is ready.

and i could not ask for anything more.

we are so proud of you, finn wiley.  and we pray that this is a year of much growth and that your love of learning would flourish!

we adore you!
