The last first day of school

Well, at least that I’ll be there to take pictures of. Maybe the last one they’ll all be together? Who knows!

Unfortunately, I didn’t get a great picture because they had to be at school at 6am for Senior Sunrise, and since obviously the sun wasn’t up yet when they left the house, I had to try to take one in the dark. I ended up taking one in the living room.

This is the 15th first day of school picture I’ve taken. Here’s the first (yet again):

Miles in the driver’s seat.

Sophomores. Only two more of these pics after this.

It’s fine I’M FINE.

I’d say they don’t look like freshmen anymore, and Oliver seems happier. First day last year:

And, of course, the first day of preschool picture. Twelve years ago.

First day of 8th grade!

That is the sound of silence. Yes, it’s very quiet in the house now. Gloriously so, in fact. The boys went back to school today! I mean, who knows for how long. So I am going to enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts.

And with masks, since that’s what they’ll actually look like for most of the day:

and waiting for the bus:

And just for funsies, the first day of school ever, ten years ago yesterday, and today.

They’re a little taller now.
