Last Day of School

Well, nine months ago, I dressed up my youngens, stuck them on a bus and told them to get an edumacation! I DIDN'T tell them to grow up while they were gone, but they up and did that anyway!! Here is our photo from the first day of school, August 2009, Taylor heading off to her final year of Elementary school, Drew a big 2nd grader and Toby off to Preschool! Don't they look so excited!
And as is tradition in the Mills' house, I made them (the older 2 at least) drag out the same clothes and take a last day of school photo. This year, they humored us and did as they were asked, then quickly ran back into the house to get clothes on that fit! At least that was the case for Taylor! Drew just wanted to have something to complain about! But I think you can see from the photos, they have grown WAY TOO MUCH!
And for Taylor's final day of 6th grade, they participated in the traditional "clap out" led by the 6th grade teachers. I only shed a few tears...
but Taylor was ALL SMILES! She's ready to move on! (and by the way, she's holding her Young Citizenship award she was presented with for the quarter!)
These two are getting to be very close, and it is so much fun to watch. Toby really admires his big brother, and Drew is learning to take the time to include his little brother in his mischeif!
And a final shot of Taylor getting off the bus! She wanted to ride the bus home for the last time! Next year, mom will be picking her up after school! Looking forward to that time we will have together!!
Another year gone by, if only they would stay little!

God is Good!
