Away from home

Well... They're gone. The house is quiet. Everyday feels like every other weekend when they see their Mom. This pic was taken just before they boarded the bus on Sunday. Daddy: trying to hold it together, hiding tears. Them: getting on the bus without even letting me give proper good-byes. Awesome little brats. Think I did enough worrying and fretting for both of them. I left in tears just like I do for every first. First day at a new school. First day on a school bus. First tooth, first fart; whatever. I cry.

They'll be back in a couple weeks. Already got a letter from S. It started w/ "poopy"

I'm so proud.
