It's that time of year again! Let's see your back to school pictures!!

[April Cliber]

I've been doing this annually for 3 or 4 years now....I'm not sure.  I love to see how much your two legged kids grow from year to year.  So, get those pictures posted below!  If you've never joined in, here's the perfect time to start!

 

Here's my 13 & 9 year old this morning.  8th and 4th grade already!  I just can't believe it!

Cute!

I so enjoy your yearly back to school posts!  This is the first fall that my DH and I are not part of the back to school movement - we retired this past spring.  For the first time ever we watched the 'world' get quieter as the school kids returned to school and left the shopping, campgrounds, sights, to the 'old folk.'

What you described sounds so peaceful!  Enjoy your quiet days!

[Camilla and Darwin]

Your kids are so adorable!

Thank you :)  I wish more people had joined in....we use to have lots....

Going to have to wait until my grandbabies get a little older!

So hard to believe these are the two little kids I first saw pictures of about 3 years ago. What do you feed your younguns in Michigan? They have grown like weeds. Your daughter gets prettier every year and your son looks like he couldn't be any sweeter. You are blessed and so are they to be surrounded by doodle puppies their whole lives.

Awww thanks Sue!  It's not what we feed them, it's genetics!  My husband is 6' 3".  He has a sister that's 6 ft and a nephew 6' 7"!!  I'm no shrimp either.... 5' 9".  Aaron has ALWAYS been off the charts in height.  When he was 2 years the pediatrician told me he'd be at least 6' 5".  :o)

Oh BTW, our Bella-Bee is just getting better and better with age. She has finally stopped eating socks, I can leave trash in the little bathroom bins without her eating everything out of them, she hasn;t eaten poop as far as I can tell for many weeks now and except for the living room carpet 2 weeks ago, we haven;t had to replace or repair anything too major. She is very smart, and if she and I sit down and have very serious conversations about whatever issue she might be having at the time, she really does listen and stops doing whatever it is I discussed with her. Very uncanny actually....

She still only goes waist deep into the pool and seems to be in awe just watching Murphy as he jumps and leaps into the water after a ball. Maybe someday she will get up the nerve, but in the meantime, I'm fine with her being more cautious around water. We do believe Murphy has gills tho and now he is learning to dive underwater for things. A little scary to watch actually. All in all, these guys are just such a joy!!

Since this discussion is about human kids if none knew who you were talking about they would have thought- WTD?

Thanks for the update Sue!  Video tape Murphy swimming sometime, I would love to see it!  ((((hugs to all!))))
