First Day of 6th Grade

Thanks for going on that vacation adventure with us - we are so glad to be home - and with only one day to spare before school starts...

...I'm constantly astonished by how quickly children change and grow up (I know everyone says that and it's true) so we try to savour every moment we have with our boy...
...we got up early - had a hearty oatmeal breakfast - packed a few last minute items - filled the water bottle - and headed out the door for a brand new adventure in 6th grade...
...After the indoor picture at home Scout requested 'No more pictures please, Mom' - but I couldn't resist a few clandestine shots as he walked into school...
...he's so big and independent - he certainly didn't need any help carrying anything or setting up his desk...

...going...going...gone...
