How beautiful they all are! We hit a milestone of sorts here. My oldest started high school (14),#2 is in 7th (almost 13), #3 is in 4th (10), and baby is in preschool(4). Oh my! It has been unbelievably busy and crazy and all my friends wonder where I am. I try to explain, but...<br />Enjoy this time. It flies, doesn&#39;t it?Debbiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13004661204964281675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782442.post-87638539110136453002011-09-27T11:50:25.505-05:002011-09-27T11:50:25.505-05:00Oh! It was so good to catch up with you! I haven&#39;t checked in here for a while. THIS busy/wonderful/madness is our happily ever after - you said it so well, the craziness that defined us and that I love, that also drives me insane - I can TOTALLY identify with you on that. Blessings on your new school year and changes that it may bring.

In August our baby-Hannah was the ONLY one in the back to school picture out of the four children we have. The boys have all graduated and are in college. Hannah did not want to take the picture since her brothers were not going to be in it that day. It was gut-wrenching for both of us. I remember taking the first back to school picture in the fall of 2007 when our oldest had moved on to college. Your words resonated with me and how I felt then.

I have a 4 year old and a 19 month old and I&#39;m already an emotional basketcase thinking about our 4 year old starting kindergarten. I almost hyperventilate thinking about her graduating high school. God will get this through me, right.

Maybe because I understand. How did our &quot;babies&quot; become 18 year old young adults looking at colleges? <br /><br />It probably doesn&#39;t help, but I&#39;ve been a basket case about it with Brandon, too. (With one in the top grade at each school they attend, I am teary a lot!) Just a little longer, please. It slips by too quickly.Jennhttp://www.mommyneedscoffee.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782442.post-49008627924569265182011-09-17T08:15:17.732-05:002011-09-17T08:15:17.732-05:00Bitter sweet isn&#39;t it? I had the same feelings when my oldest graduated. Last year my it was daughter. I did not want her to be done with high school!! Our first day of school pic only had three kids in it... sniff sniff. For some reason my 18 yr old didn&#39;t want me to take her picture on her first day of college lol! (She stayed local). I can&#39;t believe how grown your kids look! I hope you enjoy every moment of this year. <br /><br />All my best,<br />Maureen<br />p.s. so good to hear from you.Maureenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06710624303143458588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782442.post-55463750350165302612011-09-17T03:29:40.336-05:002011-09-17T03:29:40.336-05:00Sweet post.
