Although the tradition started in 2006 rather than on my boy's first day of Kindergarten in 2004, it feels like it's been always that we posed the kids in front of the garage door for a back to school photo. This is the last year! He's a senior, and that garage door will most likely be someone else's backdrop by next fall. How can it was?
Thank you for joining me in pretending that this year's was a traditional photo, not a collage in which one of my offspring was coerced into posing at twilight a full week after school started.
2008 *is* kind of a prize-winnah. But all of them, my word. What a treasure trove this is. I like to look at one kid only in each photo, year after year, then the other. It's like magic, sort of, seeing the grow up in fast motion. Slow down, kids!
I am impressed that your firstborn was willing to put his fingers up for you (that is LOVE) and I also love the fact that you didn't even care whether his shoes were on before you took said picture (that is motherhood)! You blinked and soon your pictures will be "dorm move in" pictures and that garage door will be lonely...
Oh my, my. Love this. I can't get enough of 2008!
