"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." (2 Corinthians 4:18)

The end of an era...

 With both girls starting school, our seven and a half year tradition of Grammy Days has ended.  Sniff sniff.  (At least during the school year.  They'll still come during the summer and for holidays).  I decided a couple of weeks ago to dig out an old photo that to me represents Grammy Day.  It was taken in 2013 when H was 3 and A was barely a year old.  I got so sentimental looking at it, that I thought we should try to capture a reprise.  Check out the 2017 version. I think it's kind of hilarious.  And it's a lot harder than it seems to duplicate a photo and try to get the expressions right.  I noticed the light and exposure were significantly different too.  One was taken in the winter and the other in summer.  Things that make one go "hmmmmmm".

There they go...



I think this is my favorite of the back to school pics.  So so sweet. And there they go...off to new adventures in learning.

A kiss for luck...


One last kiss before her last "baby" goes off to school.  Jenny is actually hoping to substitute teach a lot this year (at their school only).  Glad she can stay close, but still earn a little extra money.

She's THIS excited!


She is THIS excited to start school again!  In fact, we visited Aunt Kara's school for a few minutes today and met the choir teacher.  She asked H what kinds of things she enjoys doing and her response was "I really like learning new things."  Love that!

On her way...


I just love their school with all the leading lines.  And I REALLY love the kid in the middle!

Kindergarten, here she comes!



She's excited!  And we're a little melancholy.  I know she's going to change so quickly now that she's a school kid.

2nd Grade, here she comes!





So big!  And those big teeth really make her look older!

Ready, set, READ...





This girl LOVES to read!  And she's already way ahead of the game by reading chapter books before she even starts kindergarten.  Keep it up, baby girl!  There's a whole world of adventure waiting for you in your favorite books!

Chalkboard and apples...



We did one of these pictures with H when she was starting kindergarten. It's fun to look back and see their early handwriting.

School Days, School Days...





Look who starts kindergarten next week!!  We had to do a quick vintage inspired photo session in the neighbor's yard on one of our last Grammy Days.  Sniff... Growing up fast!  (Don't you love the pencil flower vase?  Thank you, Pinterest!)
