Every year, like so many other people, I make a HUGE fuss over my children on their first day back to school. You know the fuss I mean - new clothes, new shoes, new backpacks, and new school supplies.
This year has been a little different. For one thing, my two girls are going to DIFFERENT schools for the first time. That means they didn't even share the same first day of school because Jackie started last Wednesday. For another thing, I couldn't even BE THERE for Jackie's first day of school this year. I was summoned for Jury duty that day, so Kevin got the honors of taking those back to school pictures, in my place.
Also, today is AMANDA'S first day of High School (another BIG change)and Kevin isn't here (in person) for Amanda's first day of school.
So as you can see, this hasn't been a typical "Back-to-School" for the Whacky Websters, at all!
Fortunately, although Kevin is in Singapore (7000+ Miles away and 14 hours ahead of us); we were able to get together for Family Scriptures and Family Prayer via video and the "Skype internet phone". Wow, the marvels of technology - ain't it grand?!?!?! Just another of Heavenly Father's "tender mercies", for which I am eternally grateful!
It feels like yesterday I was taking these kind of pictures when they started Kindergarten...
