Reminiscing...aka a good way to avoid the gym

First Days

What promise they hold....



1st day of preschool 2006


What excitement....



1st day of kindergarten 2006


Maybe even a tear or two? (for mamas alone)





First day of school 2011


First days remind me of how far we've come, and how fast. Is it actually possible to grow a whole inch in a single month? (Yes, yes it is!) Is it really true that baby teeth drop away and young lady smiles come into their own? It is possible that miraculous, super hero brains add new pathways and connections every day? Is it accurate that little beings who were once woven into my very DNA could be becoming people with their own opinions, perspectives and lives? Could it be that these girls are growing up? Say it ain't so!! But at the same time, Thank You, God, for letting it be. Healthy, happy, lovely girls that I haven't screwed up too much. Yet.


We are blessed beyond measure.



What do First Days make you think about?
