I've thought about being lazy today and just posting the Wordless Wednesday, cop out, but how can this be Wordless?
My beautiful, beautiful daughter. Entering the third grade, but acting like she's in tenth, yet so lovingly attached to a stuff animal like a kindergartener (seen in family picture).
(That's not nice)
She and I argued this morning, on the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! On the day she was sooo excited to see on our doorstep all over the stuff animal. By the time she got to school though her smile was beaming as usual and the left home stuffed animal was long forgotten.
She is such a smart girl and she loves school. I'm going to savor that because I fear that it will change in the next few years.
My "baby" is old enough to go to school. I am old enough to have two children in elementary school.
*picks self up off of the floor*
How did five years go by so quickly?
I fear this boy's charm and spunk will blow his lovely teacher away. Kindergarten teachers are so cute aren't they? Is that a prerequisite?
He has two buddies from preschool/daycare in his class. These three boys have been known to stir up trouble amongst them. I am really tempted to contact the teacher to give her a heads up. There's only so much his cute little dimples will get him out of in elementary school.
My family, this is us, this is JUST US. When we are settled (hopefully) in our new house, this picture is going to be blown up and displayed proudly on our wall. It is us, just us, from beginning to end. These kids can put a smile on my face, these kids can make my face grimace, but they are mine, they are me and I love them (even if they are getting old).
Perfect picture at the end of this post of you and your kids! You are a mother forever and I totally felt that, regardless of them "growing up." Best of luck to the kids for a great school year! Happy WW!
ReplyDeletethat is such a beautiful picture Stace!!!! You guys look glowing!!
ReplyDeleteI love the family pic. And your kids are beaming.
ReplyDeleteAnd you are so not getting old!
ReplyDeleteAwww, I love it! What great looking kids you have and the family pic is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is a GREAT family picture!! I love your son's forced smile--my son does that still. And he's in HIGH SCHOOL! Ugh. Can you believe I'm old enough to have 2 high schoolers???! Enjoy the grade school, pally.
ReplyDeleteThat is the perfect family picture. You all three look beautiful and/or handsome (whatever is appropriate). And I know you don't want to do this, but your kids are so big. The only reason I say this is because I have one going to kindergarten next year. What happens to them to make them look so much older in just one year?! It hurts my heart to think my baby will grow up that much in the next year.
ReplyDeleteThis will be me next Thursday...save me a spot on the floor, will ya?
ReplyDeleteI love the family picture and I love your description of it. Just us. It's all you need, girl, it's all you need.
Time does fly fast with children somehow. It seemed like yesterday that my niece and nephews were born and now my niece is already 5 and her twin brothers 3. Looks like both your beautiful kids are ready for school. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat great pictures:) That last one is definitely one to be displayed proudly. I will be doing this in a week. My oldest starts high school...9th grade...I don't know how that happened so fast and my baby starts full day 1st grade:( I will just be a mess.
ReplyDeletereally great pictures...your son has gorgeous eyes!!! time flies and before you know it their 15 *sniff*...lol...it's amazing how fast it really goes
ReplyDeleteTime goes by so fast. Tomorrow my two oldest will be starting their Sr. year of high school and my "baby" will be starting his first year of middle school. Yep I'm getting old!
ReplyDeleteI'm such asentimental ol' fuddy duddy...I teared up at your family picture and the last paragrapg..."this is us, this is JUST US."
ReplyDeleteSo sweet!
Your daughter is truely beautiful. She has a wonderful smile. And your son, heaven help his teacher! He is a handsome little guy. He'll be the teacher's pet before long.
First time seeing your blog, nicely done!
ReplyDeleteFirst time seeing your blog, nicely done!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh...back-to-school. Cute pics.
ReplyDeleteI love that family picture, it is a FANTASTIC new family photo! I am dreading the day my babies go to school, what will I do without them?
ReplyDeleteThat is a fantastic family picture. FAMILY, complete with the three of you. That makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteYour family is absolutely beautiful and you should blow that up and frame it!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter may always love school. Girls often do. Boys, not so much. My daughter is in college and still loves learning.
what awesome pictures, they look like professional portraits!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Your family is really nice. I hope both your children continue to enjoy school. Learning and education are power.
ReplyDeleteGreat post and photo. When a friend of mine got a divorce, she called herself and her two kids the "Thriving three". Somehow, that seems very appropriate to you and your two. You all look so happy.
ReplyDeleteStacie - you're one hot mama! No need to worry about having two little ones in school - I'm sure you still get carded don't you!!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are perfect - perfect day and perfect smiles. I'm sure the new home for your photo will be perfect too!
What a beautiful family...enjoy! The kids do grow up so fast...but we DO NOT get old:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture of all of you guys. You have adorable kids.
ReplyDeletethat is a GREAT picture!!!
