Oh my goodness......Tate is in FIRST GRADE! I can't believe it. It has been quite an adjustment.....not for him, but ME! It is a struggle to send him out the door each day and have no control over how kids might treat him or if he will find his way and make good choices. It is hard to not have him home all day, to not feed him lunch or just play legos, but I'm coping. I have come to realize that all I can do is teach him, and pray for him and have faith that he will make good choices and be strong in this world. I know that I will have to dry tears and calm worries from time to time but that is part of growing and becoming stronger. I need to make sure that he has a place to come home to that is a sanctuary from the outside world.
Tate has been doing well and is actually enjoying school. That makes a mom happy. His teacher is wonderful and he has made some cute little friends. He is such a good kid!! I have quite the free time now and have decided to fill it with furthering my photography skills. It is something that I love and am constantly trying to improve upon. Here are some pics that we took just before school started. I love this boy. He melts my heart!

| Tate LOVES this hat. He wears it everywhere and I absolutely think he is adorable in it! I knew I needed to have some pics to remember him at 6 years old, missing two front teeth, and this hat! |
