Gavin's First Day of School

Gavin's first day was a success! He had a great time and didn't shed a tear or care to say good-bye to us when we left his room. The day started off at 6 am with Gavin running into our room asking if it was time for school yet. He preceded to walk around the house all morning with his back pack on. I could only take it off of him to put on his clothes! Aunt Kiki spent the night (her last night before heading back to college) so she could help me with the boys. Daddy got Gavin some donuts before heading out of town for work. He was sad he was going to miss taking Gavin to his first day of school! But no worries, Nana, Grandpa and Great-Granny decided to meet us at school to send Gavin off. It was ridiculous, people were looking at us in the parking lot as we all kissed Gavin and took lots of pictures. Those people didn't understand how special Gavin is and how excited we were that the day had finally come! There was a time that I never thought I'd see this day and we give God all the praise that it happened. I picked Gavin up from school, so excited to hear what he had to say about his first day. Well, he decided that he didn't need to tell me because it was a secret. Later he informed me that he made two friends Jacob and Kennedy. He said, "Mom, Kennedy didn't kiss me". I asked him if he tried to kiss her. He replied, "Yes!" Oh my word! It's already started!!! All in all it was a great day and he can't wait to get back to school!

These pictures make me smile so big and gave me that warm fuzzy feeling when once again I was reminded how God answers prayers. Gavin is a blessing for all who know him and his family. You are an example for all of us.
Love you, Suzanne
