saying goodbye and starting over is hard

cami is returning to school without 
several of her friends this 4th grade year.
many friends are starting new schools/homeschooling.
this was the first time she was not looking 
forward to starting school.

i told her that this was going to be a great year for her.
god always brings new friendships into our lives.
but, in saying that, school is for learning and 
friends are the icing on the cake.

friends forever
carigan, on the other hand, has been 
so excited for her 2nd grade experience!
but, we walked into her new classroom during open house on friday
and she could not find her best-friend's name anywhere.
the disappointment flooded all over her face :(
she had brought her little pictures and things to give her.
(her friend's parents haven't made a final decision 
on where she will be attending school this year)

saying goodbye to friends is always very hard
no matter what stage of life you are in.
i guess it is because icing is so sweet!
here's to a great year of learning
and making new friends and
strengthening old friendships!
