First Day of School 2017

 

 

As 2017 continues, we find ourselves at the beginning of another school year.

Little Penny Lou is in Preschool at Imagination Station Daycare Center. She shed many a crocodile tear when she realized that her brother and sister got to go to real school, but she couldn't. I just died when I saw this cute photo!

 

Jaxson is in 6th grade at Hawthorne Middle School. This kid is turning into a giant with his size 12 feet and stature that almost is the same as mine. He was feeling like he didn't need to have his picture taken but decided to give in anyways. They grow up faster that I would like! [Ok truthfully, some days it feels like they will be young forever...]

 

 He was NOT about to let me get a picture of him in front of his school. I opted for the next best option...car selfies! Note: I was not allowed to walk him in to his school.

We decided to kick off the new school year with one last trip to Ross Park. We loved having Nana there with us to party. This was definitely one of our favorite summertime activities.
