The last one!!

Tonight was the last "back to school" night for my children!! 22 years and 72 back to school teachers to meet with, and it is over. I was greeted with hugs and smiles tonight as I met with Allie's teachers, especially the teacher she TA's for, a nice tribute to Allie was part of the presentation of the class outline. I sat with Maggie's Mom and Tyler's Dad in one class. They all were in the same kindergarten class, we have delightful pictures of them holding hands as scared 5 year olds, and now as they get ready to go off to major universities, we remember how cute they were. (Tyler will get one semester in before his mission. ) These high school years were hard because I had to sit on the Blue and white side and try not to cheer for the black and orange. It was the hardest when I had a child participating wearing blue and white. Ross playing football and basketball and Petra in the band. This is certainly a milestone, I was so sick of going and sitting in classes to find out how busy the teachers were going to make my life each year, and this time I sat grinning. One teacher commented on it, I told him I was just savoring the moment because this child doesn't need the prompting some of the others have needed and this was the last time I would need to hear about homework deadlines and major projects. ahhh memories......
