First day of school 2013

Their big-ness astounds me every day.

I'm always so mixed emotions on the first day of school.  I'm soooo ready, I'm sooooo not ready, so proud of them for pushing through their fears, so scared that they are going to have a hard time making friends, so grateful for their beautiful bodies and growing bodies, and a bit broken hearted at the same time to watch them spread their wings a little bit and fly away.  Such a confusing bit of emotions.  So we take these pictures and then we are late.  Good times.

This year it took me almost an entire week to figure out how to get everyone up and dressed and on time for school.  I sincerely hope I can blame it on having a new baby?!
