Funny little reminders...

...left on my floor by a funny little boy.

Oh how he makes me smile.

The same thing happens...

...each year. Summer ending, frowny faces, nervous thoughts, first day of school blues. The consensus so far is no to back to school, yes to seeing friends again. At least at my house. Somehow I knew back in May how fast this summer was going to be. I get a little more emotional about the new school year each time. My kids are growing up, fast! The inevitable. Happy and sad at the same time.

I came across an article by John Piper today. Not by accident I'm sure but wanted to share.

As usual, I have included first day pictures:

Colton starting fourth grade.

Bri starting her sophomore year.

And Rance just didn't want to get out of bed.
