"last day of seminary"

This morning as Riley was heading out the door at 5:45 am,

he told us "this is the last day of seminary!"

Wow... I have been getting up at 5:00 am for the last 7 years

for early morning seminary.

Riley has been one of the more independent of our children

for getting himself up in the morning.

I have fond memories of Sam...

getting the shower going and trying to get him out of bed.

Katie was up on her own,

but I always felt I needed to send them off

with a lunch, prayer and a kiss good bye.

It is a bittersweet day.

Life is changing.
