I never imagined what this year would feel like. I remeber sitting there looking at my beautiful baby girl trying to imagine what she would be like when she was ready to go to school. The tears that welled up in my eyes when my friends would send me sappy emails that had to do with sending the little ones to school for the first time. This day wasn't even about how "sad" it was, it was about how "happy" it makes me to see my daughter excited to attend the same school I went to! 
Taking pictures in front of the tree was the most emotional time of this morning for me. Cinderella has ALOT of meaning to me. She was the tree my mother use to line us up in front of (even though it meant making one more stop before school) so that she could take pictures in our new school outfits. It struck me when Gwen was posing in front of that tree that Seth & Hayley were the babies only a short while ago! HOW ARE THEY 17???? How is Gwen 4 already! All the more reason to blog! Everyone is growing up so fast! Including my princess Gwendalyn!
For example, this picture was taken 3 years ago when seth & hayley were Freshmen. Now they are 16 taking college prep classes in high school! When did the babies grow up??? When???
Man, that is the cutest kid EVER! Of course, I love curls, and I loved Molly's crazy curls when she was a kid too! Gwen's so precious.
ReplyDeleteThe property looks great, I'm so glad you guys are there, I know it must be such a huge undertaking. Good Work!
I remember Grandpa entering some pumpkins and squash in the fair? That's great to take the pictures in front of Cinderella the tree. I have a pic somewhere of my Mom & Dad when they were engaged, the trees were so small 33 years ago!
I wish my kids could go to Pine/Strawberry Elm!! I loved it!! So I know my kids would too!!
ReplyDeleteIt's small....personalized... familiar. I really love being able to send her there. We truly are blessed!
