affirmation

we attended a fiftieth birthday party for our neighborhood school last night. the school we have chosen for the big bug to begin kindergarten at in the fall. i was overwhelmed by the sense of community there. sitting, surrounded by my neighbors. watching my girls run and laugh and play with their neighbors. it made me feel so good about our tough decision. i know it won't meet all of my expectations - but i really do feel that we are in the right place. and that feels so good.
