First Day of School 2017-18

As usual, I made the kids stand in front of the door for the tradition of getting their picture taken before heading off to school.  Luca wasn't too happy with me but I explained that this photo means something to me, and hopefully one day will mean something to him.  Both kids were ready for school, but sad to say goodbye to such a fun summer.  To be honest, ending this summer was hard for me too.  This one was really really good.  But fifth and third grades will be great years!

Fifth Grade!!  I had to remind myself that this was Mia's last year at our sweet neighborhood elementary school. 

A side by side comparison....kinder to fifth.  WOW!

I found these old shots of Mia's first day and I remember it like yesterday.  I love this shot of us all walking her to school. 

And Luca saying goodbye....

And Mia taking her teacher's hand and confidently waving to me.  I then walked home and cried.
