School Days, School Days...

...dear old Golden Rule days.

Well, my friends, we've started back to school in my little corner of the world and this is what is has looked like for us.

Sleepy mornings. He is his mother's son.

All dressed up for his first official day (with students) as a high school AP. This was registration day and we had to take our traditional back-to-school-in-front-of-the-front-door pictures.

Ren's first day as a junior in her denim and pearls - sans make-up due to a pageant scheduled for later that same evening.

Mr. Eager Beaver making sure he had his 2 boxes of Kleenex ready to go.

One of the last times I'll be taking her to school. She'll be driving on her own before long.

Anxious to get back and meet up with friends to claim their sitting place in the hall.

Then it was John-Heath's turn to go meet his teacher and see which friends were in his class.

It's official.

And, finally, today...the first full day of school.
