Funny, the same thing just happened at my house. They aren't really old enough to be in school yet, are they??? J looks like a very big boy!

Congrats, hope he has a great day. I took a first day of school photo of my daughter each year, it was fun to look back at these the day she graduated high school!

Hope you all enjoy the day!

Look at him, with his hair all combed and his backpack on! How exciting, and probably difficult, too. I hope he loves it!

My eyes are tear-y.

I know all about that "blink". I try not to blink too much anymore...
Congrats to your little cutie-pie!

Aww, how sweet!

Thanks for posting that. The knots I was feeling about it all went away today (even though my thoughts kept returing to J, wondering 'how's he doing - is he feeling okay?' and knowing i'd come home to find this post...
So the knots went away, but once I saw the pix I felt sick (b/c of the bittersweetness... geez, that sounded bad!)

Great description of how the years go by. I 'blink' about 20 times a day. What a great image to capture.

My, oh my. I hope he loves it.

Posted by: Amy | August 22, 2006 6:59 AM

Oh he looks so cute!! I bet he's the handsomest boy in his class. :) Hope he has a great first week.

Posted by: Jennifer | August 22, 2006 7:22 AM

My, he does look handsome! It is a very big day. So glad you made it through without a tear. I was thinking of you!

Well done on J becoming a big boy - hope he has lots of fun at kindergarten. He looks very smart in his red shirt. You must be one very proud mom :)

Posted by: Lindsey | August 22, 2006 2:59 PM

He looks so handsome! And he was a cute babe.
I can't believe mine is almost 9 months. I imagine it must be a little surreal to see them going to school for the first time.

OH good grief. It's amazing. A bean becomes a whole beanpole in one second. Love that smile, love it.
