Now that we’ve been back to school for about a month it’s time to reflect. New schedules, new schools, and new routines mean big changes for us with plenty of ups and downs.  I (Lisa) have three kids in three different schools this year for the first time. Shelly and I both have one starting high school and one each who are entering their “last” years. My youngest is in her last year of Elementary school while Shelly’s oldest is a senior in high school!  How are we handling these changes?  Are we saddened at the thought of all these “last” experiences or looking forward to the possibilities?

Check out our video where we discuss all of this and more. Be sure to stay till the end to see me (Lisa) cry!

How has your Back to School been going?  Are you in a “last” year for a child also?  What advice do you have for settling into this new year and schedules?

Did you stay to see me cry?  Brian and I celebrated 18 years of marriage last weekend with a big family dinner and enjoyed a few more Mad About You tv episodes. We are very blessed to have strong role models for marriage and look forward to many more years of wedded bless.
