“You learn something everyday

if you pay attention.”- Ray LeBlond

On Friday afternoon, I took my oldest three children for back to school pictures in front of their school.

- My oldest boy is starting 6th grade, he’s turning 12 at the end of September.

- My girl will be in 5th grade this year, she’s almost 10 1/2 years old.

- And my 3 year-old boy, who’s turning 4 in early October, is a preschooler this year!

At first, he was mildly interested in having his photos taken.

But he is a boy and he is 3 and keeping his attention is a tall order:

He does like to make faces, that is a lot more interesting than standing in front of the camera and looking at mom.

Of course, jumping always yelds the best result, who can resist a request to jump?

We are all very excited that school is starting again. That was always my favorite time of the year when I was a child, and I’m glad that my own children get so excited about it too.

Happy Back to School, everyone!
