Finally! My kids have been counting down the days. Yesterday was the big one for both of them. Ava's first day of kindergarten, and Seb's in a pre-school here in the neighborhood.
Monday, Ava came in a few times in the night saying she couldn't sleep and was really scared to go. She said "mom, what if there's tons and tons of people?" There's 21 in her class, and I'm sure it did seem like lots to her. Bless her heart (she doesn't have a clue what's ahead in life). Ended up doing so great though. It was given by her expressions that she was still nervous underneath all the excitement.
Our next door neighbor has been here in Alpine 90 years, about. Cutest man you'll ever meet, and my girls just adore him. He is out on his back porch swinging everyday. He tells us stories of his days delivering newspaper on horseback.
Ava went with me to take the pictures and on the way home we found a colt with his mom.....oh, and what happened, I cried.A beautiful thing watching them together. I didn't take my camera out with us to the field, but came back to see them again and the babe wouldn't get off the ground to get a picture with his mom. For the Love.
