first day through the years

This is the saddest time of the year for me.  After getting to enjoy spending lots of time with my boys all summer long it's now time to start the busy school routine.  Here they are on the first day of 10th and 8th grade.


Every year I love looking back at all their first day photos to see how they've changed.  I'm so very blessed to be their mom.

    Right there with ya even though we don't start til next week. I hate saying goodbye to summer and sending them off. Fall is such a hectic, busy time. Love the pics through the years. Amazing how quickly the years pass by. :( Happy WW!
