First Day of School

It's funny how these milestones in life just rush at you like a freight train. It's like they are forced on you, whether you want them or not. Though you wish you could stand in front of time and say Stop!, time rushes around you like lava flowing around a rock. It is inexorable, relentless, it washes over us and carries us along.

Today is John's first day of kindergarten. He was a little nervous. Hopefully he'll be able to adjust to the new surroundings and new expectations.

Here is our special little guy in line this morning.



His teacher is on the right, kneeling down.



And here, leaving him behind, in the care of the cruel world. Fare well, big guy. There's an exciting life ahead of you!
