16 Years...and the beginning and the end?

Today marked the BEGINNING of a few
monumental moments...
A new pair of shoes...

Hair curled, complete with a flower clip...
BookBag on and ready for...

...the beginning of Abbie's elementary school experience!

Which also means
the END to...
all the years of having "PRE"-school aged children!

That is kind of a lot to take in!

Good thing, that today we celebrated
having each other,
and SIXTEEN sweet years of marriage!
What a great ride so far!
Happy Anniversary...I love you!

Okay, that left a lump in my throat. I hope you survived her first day. What a precious picture of her getting on the bus. I doubt she had any fears getting on. It is finally her day.
And what a great relationship for you to provide for your kids. Congrats -- and to many more years!
P.S. Love the appropriate Brad Paisley song.

Jug and Shelley congrats on 16 years! Love the song!
I still can't believe Abbie went to Kindergarten. If you can figure out how to slow them down tell me. I pushed my boys down everyday but... that just made them shorter. Great pictures.

Congratulations to everyone! Your kids are all so beautiful! Are you still doing PTA? Who is Abbie's teacher? Is she liking school? I remember having a really hard time last year the night before school started because I felt like I should be teaching the next day...but this year I didn't even think about it! I guess I love being a mom...and I am super busy :) Hope you all have a fun school year!
