52 photos...week 4

{A Good Year}

Well.... maybe...LOL!  What this photo shares is... three kids, up bright and early, dressed and ready for school.  What it shares is the amazing amount of growing Tahlia and Liam did over the Summer holidays!  What it shares is the excitement of going back to school... for at  least one of them! LOL!

But what it doesn't tell is the story of being prepared to prevent the major getting-ready-for-school rush and flurry.  Or the anxiety and nervousness of entering a higher grade.  What this photo doesn't reflect on is the skip in my heart when I walked them into school and left them in the care of their teachers for the day.  My immediate sense of needing to use a deep breathing technique, as another year passes and they grow more independent.  :)

And of course, it doesn't share the nightmare of school parking on the first day.  Or the drenching rain, as we tried to get into the classrooms without needing a dry set of clothes...  Welcome back to school guys.  Have a great year..x
