Today is this first day of school for both of my daughters, and boy, are they excited!  It made my heart so happy to see them get on the bus with smiles on their faces this morning, knowing that we had a wonderful family summer and confident that the new school year will bring many new and fun-filled opportunities.

As I turned to walk back down the driveway toward the house, my own smile never faded – the kids are in wonderful hands for the day, and it is the first time in a while that I have a day to myself. Ah-h-, the sweet, simple joy of a peaceful house and a warm cup of coffee, with the whole day ahead of me!
