First "First Day"

Today was full of emotion. My nerves at the unknown of a new school year. Parents tearing up watching their child starting school. Kids learning that what happens at home can't always happen at school, hence more tears. I had 14 students experiencing their first "first day" of school today. No hilarious stories yet. I am optimistic about this school year. Of course I am also hopeful that we will be much further along in our adoption journey by the time we wrap up this year. Maybe we will even have made our first trip. Why not be hopeful? I did make it through another first day.
