“say yes to one more book, one more hug, one more kiss goodnight, tuck them in and snuggle them tight. one day you will tuck them in and they’ll be grown. they will smile and tell you they can do it on their own.”
And just like that the school year is officially back!
Our girls started 11th, seventh, and fifth grade this year. Mason was excited to be starting 1st grade.
We kicked off the new year with some usual “first day of school photos” and keeping up with our tradition we made sure to do our first day of school “interviews”.
