The First Day of School

I can hardly believe another summer has come and gone.  The holidays are just around the corner and another school year has started.  We had a fabulous summer (although the last several weeks have been a bummer with the rain making it impossible to go to the water park).  I remember growing up, school would start on September 1st and get out on June 6th....I miss that.  I'm not a big fan of school starting in August.

This dashing young ,man started 8th grade.  He's almost 14 now and will be ordained as a Teacher soon!!  He's got a fabulous mustache going on :).  He's almost taller than me....when did that happen? It seems like yesterday that he was starting Kindergarten.

This amazing young lady started 6th grade.  Her very last year of elementary school.  I can hardly believe she's growing up so fast.  She'll be 12 at the end of the year and going into Young Women's.

I was looking through pictures at my parents house and I came across this picture. This is me at the same age...there are differences but wow!!  She looks a lot like me :)

Mr. Lion Heart started 5th grade.

Spider Monkey started 4th grade.  Silly boy wanted his picture to look sad because it was the first day of school.  But at the end of the day, he reported that he likes his teacher.

This sweet young lady started 3rd grade.  Goodness!!  I remember when she started Kindergarten...that seems like ages ago but also like it was yesterday.

Miss Tiger Lily started 2nd grade.  They grow up so fast!!!

And this little guy gets mommy all to himself all day.

There you have it folks, the 2014-15 school year should be a good year full of fun and learning.  Goodbye summer, I will miss you!!
