Back To School Past {2012}

Whether I want it to or not, school's about to start. We went to 'Meet the Teacher Night' this evening. Summer Break ends in T-3 days. I don't know what I dislike about it more. Is the kids being away? Is it the lack of control that I have over their day? Or is it that the new school year means that the kiddos are getting bigger? I think it's a little (or maybe a LOT) of all 3. I know we'll get settled into a routine and all will be well. How does a stroll down memory lane sound? Good?  That's what I thought.  Here we go...

Here's Addi just a few short days before Evan and Payton started school.  She looks exactly them same, don't you think?

Strolling down memory lane brings to mind 3 things. 1.  It just doesn't seem possible that Addi is the same age that Payton is in the first picture. 2. My kiddos have some beautiful peepers! =)  3. That as hard as it is to let go of one stage of life, you must.  But the next stage, well it's pretty awesome too.
