Last Firsts
Today is my baby’s last first day of school.
Jabin on the first day of kindergarten at age almost-five.
Jabin on the first day of Grade 12 at age almost-seventeen.
How did this happen? Where did all that time go?
My boys have all grown up, and soon, the little birds will be flying the nest.
I’ve been thinking about that a lot, actually. I feel pretty blessed to have this moment in time when all of my kids are home, because I know it will end very soon.
Since Jude got home from Bible college last fall, he’s been living at home, but he’s planning on entering the military soon.
Noah just got his first job, and he’s loving it. He’s a ways from flying the nest, but it will happen eventually.
Jabin is working hard to save up for Bible college next fall.
Everything is changing for them. For us. It’s exciting and nerve-wracking, and I couldn’t be more proud of them.
Because last firsts always mean the beginning of new firsts. And that’s life in a nutshell.
Happy Tuesday.
