Senior Year.

And so it starts. The beginning of the end. The start of the lasts. It’s crazy. But this week was the start of Ally’s senior year of high school. 14 first days of school (not counting preschool).

A flashback first:

Her first day of Junior Kindergarten. It was pouring rain that day…so she’s all dressed up to stay warm and dry. 

But today was sunny and perfect early September for the first day of classes.




Earlier this week she had school Registration Day and she came out in shorts but then realized it was chilly and went inside

To change into this.

It’s been an emotional week. We said goodbye to our kittens. They brought so much joy and lightness and purpose to our summer. 









Becky’s first day was yesterday. Can you see Cloey in the window?




Yesterday there was a senior class trip white water rafting. It’s an annual school tradition. Unfortunately Ally was not able to go rafting due to her concussion but she went with the class anyway and sat out the actual rafting. I asked for a proof of life photo. She posted this to Instagram.

She was also featured on the school’s social media with some classmates.

I’ll end this post with my only photo editing trick:
