Back to school. . .

 All ready for the new school year!! All the kids at the same school, on the same schedule.

 Barrett ready to rock first grade! When did he get so big?!? 

 In his class, with his very own desk! He was so excited! Going to be a great year!

 Charlotte, all ready to begin second grade. So cool!

 At her own desk, with her friend Ellie sitting right across from her. Yay!

 Savannah. Sixth grade. Enough said, or I am going to cry some more.

 Savannah in her class. Apparently she has hit the traditional 6th grade milestone- the "I'm not going to look at Mom for the picture, I'm too cool for that" phase. Despite her embarrassment, I continued to take pictures, even if she wouldn't look at the camera!!

 

That's it. My babies are all big and grown up enough to be in school. All day.

Just me and the cats, at home all day.

I think I might survive...

Finally!!!

Attention everyone!!!

Barrett has a loose tooth!

He has been waiting, quite impatiently, for this momentous occasion;

ever since Charlotte got her first loose tooth, which was before she started kindergarten.

It's been a long two year wait.

He is soooooooooooo
excited!

It's just not possible...

You know the family photo we have as the header to this blog??

Well, I love that photo. Truly, I do.

Except, there are times when I look at it, and I am completely bewildered and confused.

Surely, that beautiful and lovely young lady on the right cannot possibly be my oldest daughter!!!

I look at this photo, and Savannah just looks so grown up and lovely.

This troubles me.

It seems only yesterday that she was a tiny little six-pounder.

When did she grow up?

She just looks so grown up, so lovely and so much older.

I blinked, and she turned into a young lady.

Sometimes I cannot even look at this picture, because I start to cry.

Who decided the kids could grow up so fast??
