So Quiet

It's so quiet here today. Carissa is at preschool and Simon at his school. I got a little lump in my throat when I hugged Simon goodbye today at school. He's just growing so fast. Carissa was thrilled to have her best friend from last year in her room. Makayla looked just as happy to see Carissa though. Watching Carissa skip over to her friend reminded me just how quickly she's changing too. My big kids, even though I was happy to have school start, I still miss them as well. Mothering is just so contradictory!!
