First Day

This is Cory's first year at the junior high. It's Kyle's last year at the junior high. It's the first year it will be just Alecia and me at the elementary school. Anyone else feel like they are on a fast moving roller coaster, unable to get off? Before I know it, my kids are going to be the same age as me!

Which, let's face it: that'll be fun, too. Just like right now my kids are at very awesome ages. And I shouldn't feel bad that they won't be there for long, because the next ages will be awesome, too. But this is the only year they will be these ages, so we better do the annual tradition of First Day Pictures On the Front Porch.

First, a picture of the smiles they managed to find since Monday's post. :)



Then Kyle and Cory as they prepare to head off to the junior high together.


And now for Alecia, for the first time on the porch by herself.


And just to slow down that roller coaster for the slightest of minutes, and because it's always fun to see how things change when you blink, a look at the front porch pictures since I started this blog.
