My Kids Are Growing Up

This year has been a big change for our family.  Emily started high school, Tyson started middle school, and Ryan started Kindergarten.  During the day it is just me and Abigail.  I was cleaning out Ryan and Abigail's room today and I found these

Ryan and Abigail would pack these two bags full of toys each time we would go up to school so they had stuff to play with.  They have spent hours using these bags to entertain themselves during awards assemblies, snack shack, AR test, etc. etc.  I put these two backpacks in the goodwill pile and it made me sad to realize just how fast time goes by.  Next year I won't have anyone to take with me up to the school.  The older I get the quicker the years seem to go.  Although it is hard dragging younger siblings up to the school, it makes me smile to remember my two little helpers following behind me with their backpacks in tow!

Now when Abigail comes with me up to the school all she wants to play with is my i-phone.  I think I liked it better when she played with toys!

They grow up too fast, don't they? Aimee is sad that she won't be starting kindergarten until the next school year but as quickly as they grow and change it will be nice to have two kids home again next school year. After that it will just be me and Lily.
