First Day

So, this happened this week.  My baby, my little toe-headed boy, is now a senior.  I would have posted earlier BUT Mama had to take a few days to figure out how she felt about it.
I anticipated being super sad and just sitting here crying my day away.  Surprisingly, that didn’t happen.  Instead of being flooded with sadness, I was filled with pride.  Y’all, that is ALL God, because this girl is a crier!  I find myself just over-the-moon excited for where God is directing his life!!  And I am so super proud of who he is, I hope he always knows that.  This picture is him and Nanny on the first day of kindergarten and the first day of his senior year.  Do you think he grew a little, geesh.

Every year, since the kids started school, we’ve always gotten a “first day” picture with Nan.  Bless her heart, she’s gets up early that day just to see them off.  She’s a great Nan!

These kids…how is it possible it’s went so quickly?  If you have littles, you know exactly what I mean.  You blink and here they are, starting their senior and sophomore years.
