The kids started school today. Last night when I was thinking about them and praying for them and what I wished for each of my children this year, I realized that they are just like the characters in The Wizard of Oz.
Christian needs to find a heart. I know that sounds harsh and he does have one. He is actually pretty sensitive. But he needs to find a little compassion, patience and positivity!
He is a senior this year and, as drum major for the marching band, I hope that he learns to lead with enthusiasm and friendliness! Today was his last first day of school. Sniff.
Kate has a brain, but needs to use it. I'm not talking academically here. She needs to keep her wits about her and remember things like her band hat and her homework amidst the ever-more-important social vortex she is swept up in.
Elliot needs to find his courage. He is very mighty, but forgets that he is also very brave.
And then there's Claire. I really think that with all of her gifts and abilities, she will be just fine as long as she has some shiny shoes!!

Yea...You did it. It's wonderful and so are all the characters (your wonderful children and my outstanding grandchildren)from the Land of Oz. You my dear are the Wizard. Yes, I know it was a male in the movie, but you are the heart, soul and strength of your family.
