When I look back on these early days of schooling, these will be some of my favorite memories- getting on the big rental bus with one of very my favorite people and those people who comprise their school day worlds- sitting together en route to some exciting destination, sharing snacks and games and anticipation. On this day, we walked toward a big ship...on one side, Asa held my hand while he and his best buddy from Brazil walked with their arms around each other. On the other side I held hands with a lovely Chinese girl who clasped hands with her Thai-Indian friend.
I mention their cultural backgrounds only because they are each so unique and beautiful. And as first graders, they don't yet see division- only the fun of walking hand in hand with a friend into the exciting next. I'm grateful to get to be a small part of their lives, and a big part of the life of the tall boy from the U.S., my treasure.

Precious, Rhianna. It is wonderful that our kids still love having us around so much, isn't it?
That really is beautiful. A glorious snippet of heaven.
