And here's one from a long time ago. It was Mason's first day of kindergarten and Alec was in 2nd grade. These nine years sure have passed by fast.

It's time to link up again to share your photos! There are just a few rules.
- submit the url of your blog post, not your home page
- link up a photo that was taken by you
- include a link back to my blog in your post (you can use the button or a text link if you prefer)
- visit a few other blogs and leave some comment love
Okay, just link up below!
I always love these posts, Deb. Hope they have a great year!
ReplyDeleteThat´s a great idea - so fun to see how they´re growing! We both have kind of brotherly themes today - gotta love those sons! :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy first day! I remember the first morning photo shoot! Here's to a great year!
ReplyDeleteCannot believe the summer is over and the kids are going back to school!! You've got two handsome boys, Deb, I bet the ladies will be swooning over them!
ReplyDeleteVery handsome boys! I always take back to school pictures in the same spot too. I love the one you included from when they were younger--so cute!
ReplyDeleteAww what a special tradition! Your boys look like twins in the first shot! So handsome :-)
ReplyDeleteOh my! I love that you added that last picture. Nine years sure does go by quickly! Your boys are so handsome and look like such nice young men.
ReplyDeleteOh my what handsome young men! Amazing how much they change though in just a few short years.

What handsome boys!
ReplyDeleteThose are some great smiles & oh so sweet past & present captures! =)
ReplyDeleteWhat a proud mama you must be Deb. What amazing young men you have raised! Hope it's a great year for them.
ReplyDeleteOh Deb...these are great! What a difference nine years makes - wow! Your boys just seem like the best sons. I saw a mom and her two teenage sons at the grocery store last week. They were having fun grocery shopping and they towered over their mother! I laughed thinking that that would be Andrew someday...so crazy!
ReplyDeleteas I was reading this post and scrolling down I was wondering what your boys looked like as youngsters - and there it was - they are SO talllLLLL now!
ReplyDeleteWhat good-looking boys - you must be so proud!! Can't believe the difference between now and 9 years ago!
ReplyDeleteLove how you shared a "looking back" photo - what change!
ReplyDeleteHandsome young men you've got there! I hope their school year is filled with successes!!
ReplyDeleteWow, time flies, yes? I take the kids' pics in front of the front door as well every new school year. That is what my parents did too. I love that tradition! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Deb. You are going to make my cry with the time passing so quickly. Mine are still at the age of the older photo.
ReplyDeleteYour boys are just so handsome. Enjoy a little quiet time.
seeing your boys when they were young - they are so cute! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the flashback photo! Some good looking boys you have deb! We still have until the day after labor day for school.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy it while they still live with you! Great to have two boys so close together!
ReplyDeleteHow much fun - I love seeing these back to school photos every year. And yes, the years pass so quickly - they have grown so tall!
ReplyDeleteYes, such lovely images. Great to see them when they were small :)
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! It's nice that they let you photograph them. I know many teenagers who don't. :D
ReplyDeleteThey are so handsome! Great shots Deb. Why does the time with our kids have to pass so quickly? Thank goodness we have cameras to capture all those fleeting moments!

ReplyDeleteHandsome looking young men, they sure have grown!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! I had the same tradition when my son was in school...although there were several years when it was almost torture trying to get the shot! Great photos of two heart-breakers!
ReplyDeleteI'm so grateful for digital photography that makes these kinds of photos possible for my grandchildren. My daughter missed out on having a lots of these to remember her growing up due to either the cost of film and processing or simply forgetting to buy the film.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Handsome young men.
They grow up really quickly don't they! I have a 5 and 8yr old and it seems like just yesterday we brought them home. The photos we take are so precious to us as we take them over the years.
ReplyDeleteYou have two very handsome young men- they sure do grow up fast, don't they?!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!! This is so adorable!!
ReplyDeleteI like those pictures, it is always important to start with a smile, wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! Kids grow up so fast...
ReplyDeleteLOVE that your boys still let you take their picture on the first day of school! They look so big and handsome! My oldest son is going to be a senior this year and I'm so sad!! Love that you included a photo from "way back when", too. I see a layout in there somewhere..... :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat handsome boys, you must be proud.
ReplyDeleteYour boys are so handsome! How quickly the time passes! I just love that older shot you posted of them. It's so much fun to compare and see the changes :o)
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures!You must be a very proud Mom :O)
ReplyDeleteI adore adore adore that not only do they allow the photo shoot, but they still smile for you!!! My fingers are crossed my boys will do that!! I just started this tradition with Bear as preschool started this week. *sigh*
