1st Day of School

Last night, I had the good pleasure of opening for Derek Webb and Sandra McCracken at their "Living Room Concert" in Chattanooga.

It is amazing to be able to play with such remarkable musicians, but to be able to count them among my dearest friends is sweeter still.

Last night was a blast and after all was said (sung?) and done, it was well past 11pm before I got on the road and 1am when I was home and packing lunches for the girls' first day of school!

I was in bed at 2am and I was very much in mid-dream when the alarm went off at 6:30 this morning.

I was expecting to be a blubbery mess, since I was still slightly delirious, and I was dropping off not one, but TWO girls at school this morning!

Sera started 2nd grade and my littlest, my tiny baby that was just born ("Amelie Ashe, born in the Bath!" as we call her;) is somehow old enough for Kindergarten.

Everything went great, much better than expected, and none of us cried!

It felt natural this year, and the little school is lovely and warm and welcoming and Amelie already knew the ropes from watching Sera last year.

She also found out a friend is in her same class, and I felt much better walking out the door and seeing them sitting at the same table together.

Josh and I even got to grab coffee together this morning, which was the first date we had in almost a month. I think will be a nice "1st day of school" tradition.

Well, off to stick a chicken in the crock pot (ahem, not one of the pets) and then work on my new record while I have some morning moments alone.
Welcome, new season!


Forgive me for the poor quality of the photos, the setting on my camera was off, and I was in a rush to capture these sweet moments!

Walking.


Sisters!


Sera Sage was so excited to walk Amelie to class:)


Picking out her locker.


Little friends.


My sweet 2nd grader.


No tears this year! Success!
