Adventures Bidding Summer Farewell

Today was my step-son's first day of school. Since we moved last October, Nathaniel was transferred to a school that's a little bit closer. He was very excited about it because he knew some kids from his cub scout pack that also go to his new school. I really can't believe the slightly chubby, almost baby-like child that walked into our life three years ago is now almost a pre-teen, smart as a whip, looking more and more like a man every day, and one year away from middle school. Where did the time go?

Seriously, what the hell?

Both my boys, whom were mere babies just yesterday, are going to be starting preschool next week. This isn't such a mind-fuck with Orion, because this is his second year, but Nolan? Nolan, the tiny baby that was born just the other day! is not going to be in preschool.

Even though I am completely stunned at the time that's just slipped through my fingers, I am very excited for my children. They all love being at school, around their friends, learning new things, having new experiences, making new friends. Despite all the crap that's been dumped on us the last few months, I am going to take the time to sit back and admire my awesome boys, and relish the time I have with them, before they start growing beards and driving.
