This year, we have a senior in high school, a freshman, a seventh grader, a first grader, and two kindergartners.
We wake up early, have breakfast and make lunches with the high school and middle school kids. We read some scripture and say our morning prayers. That seems to make the day go better.
Then Trent and I have half an hour to talk and plan the day before we start the second shift. The elementary school kids get up and dressed. Opa comes out and we have second breakfast. We should be Hobbits.
We talked about having the little kids get up with the big kids, but decided that this was a more grown-up time we could spend with the big kids, and good, uninterrupted discussions don't happen very often with them. We cherish those moments.
