Kindergarten 2016

Jazsper started Kindergarten last week. August 3rd. Oh, it was difficult. I cried when my own kids went to kindergarten, so it didn't surprise me that I cried with Jazsper. The difference being, that this time I was crying because Korry should have been here for this. I hate that she missed taking him to his first day. The doctor I worked for was kind enough to give me a good hug with tears in his eyes as well. My friend in the lab just happened to call me, and heard in my voice that I was not doing well, and said a prayer for me over the phone. It was so powerful! She is truly an inspired voice. I am so grateful that she allows the Lord to work thru her to help others. What a wonderful blessing to have in my life.
I had off the afternoon of August 3rd, so I could be sure to pick up Jazsper. When I took him in the morning he did good, but there was a bit of apprehension when I left. He had a great day, and was happy to see me pick him up. I was off the next day as well (it was also my birthday) In the morning when he gets to school he goes straight to the lunch room (with all the other elementary kids) to get breakfast, and wait for class to begin. That is really overwhelming. He held my hand so tight. But he did ok.  the next  two days of school, it was the girls turn in kindergarten. so then when it was time for him to go again, I took that day off as well. I wanted to be sure he was able to make it thru the breakfast line. He did great. I felt so bad for some of the other kids who were scared and didnt know what to do. I can't imagine just dropping a kid off and not preparing them for what they have to do.  I knew Jazsper would do great, and he seems to be liking it. However when I ask him what he learns, all he cares to say is that he has PE with Coach Thomas. That is obviously the highlight of his day, since he is so sports minded.
Kelsey's water broke July 22-23rd around midnite, and she gave birth to a healthy little girl july 23rd. Everything went fine with the delivery.  It was just a bitter sweet moment, as so many of our milestones are these days, because, of course, her husband died in January of this year.
