First Day of School

















O.K. For my first true post ever, we're going to start back about a month to the first day of school! Then we'll go from there and see what happens! Hopefully I can make some memories for my sweet kids!

First day of Fifth Grade (I can't believe it!!) for Maddie
First day of Second Grade for Jack


















About a week later, Claire had her first day in the 2's class!

























It takes lots of equipment to be 2!

First Day of School - The Early Years!!

When I was working on my First Day of School post, I thought how fun it would be to look back at all the First Days we've had and see how we've grown!! The first year or two, I had Maddie go out on the porch by the front door for her official picture, and that just kind of became a tradition. Our front door and our school have changed, but we always take that same picture! As I look back, it appears that I like to take one horizontal picture a little closer up to see their faces, but I also take a vertical full-length so I can see their cute backpacks and usually new shoes!! So here we go on our trip down memory lane!


Maddie - 4th grade, Jack - 1st grade


























Maddie - 3rd grade
























Jack - Kindergarten (not my choice of backpack!)

























We also had two years when we were at the same school as Aunt, so we had to take a First Day picture with her too!

Maddie - 2nd grade (1st year in new house and new school!)




















In Miss Lam's (for a few more months!) classroom!
