Another first day of school.
Emily is a sophomore this year - no longer low man on the totem pole.
Jane, however, is in her first year of junior high.
I wish I could tell them that life won't always be like high school (or junior high). But we all have to pass through this weird gauntlet in between childhood and adulthood. Some days will be rough. But I hope that home continues to be a good place for them - even if they have a lot more years of teenagerhood ahead.
