One of our family traditions is taking pictures on the first day of each school year. Isn't Jacob so sweet, holding up three fingers to indicate that he is starting 3rd grade. He is so excited about going back to school and seeing all his friends. He is very much anticipating the science projects they "get to do this year!", and this year they "get to write in cursive!" and "real math", and they also get to do school sponsored team sports this year- basketball and baseball. The second pic is my son Jeremy(on the left) and his friend Patrick. They are starting the BIG SENIOR year. Gone is the excitement of learning new things...no more pride in the new backpack, "look I am in ___ grade"... replaced with "I can't take a picture without my truck, my friend, and my Redbull in it...can you hurry mom". But SENIORS are excited about one thing... ##days til graduation!!!
Last year I took a picture of my daughter's First day of not having to go to school. I didn't realize that a year later she would still be trying to figure out what I want to do with my life.
Oh...to be young again...
