Wordless Wednesday – Firsts
There are so many firsts these days.
They are growing and changing. At the speed of light.
Many days I want it all to stop. My heart wants them to stay little forever.
My head knows that they will continue to grow. To change. To become the amazing human beings they are destined to become.
I have to make myself remember how important all of these firsts are for me and them. After all, I am the chief memory keeper of my household and I take that responsibility seriously.
Yesterday they started school. Third grade, first grade and pre-K. They ran in their classrooms without a hug or a kiss or even saying goodbye.
I only cried a little.

Definitely. It is never too late!!

Such cute pics – I remember those days – long ago when the kids were little. . . ahhhh Memories – misty watercolor memories of the way they were. . ..
So, I’m sure you can see wordless Wednesday is such a challenge for a woman with words dripping off the tip of her tongue but my post is Mostly pictures so can I participate being that my blogpost is WWW or Weak with Words on Wednesday 🙂
I usually don’t write too much on my Wordless Wednesday posts but this week I couldn’t help it.
Great shots! Good luck on their firsts day 🙂
Thanks Mizhelle!
Love this! The mere thought of my oldest three kiddos going away from home to school for the time ever this year has me in tears. I’m sure I will be a mess come September 6th…
That is a huge deal for your kids! I am sure that they will love it!!
They look so cute on their first day of school. Isn’t it amazing to compare from year to year. You really captured their excitement and personality in these photos!
Thanks Ann. I love getting their first and last day of school. They are all so excited but for different reasons.
You have really cute kids 🙂 Adorable!
Hope you come by my WW post as well and link up!
Thanks so much for coming by!
They’re absolutely adorable!! I love first day of school pictures!

Thanks so much for stopping by Karen!
Love the signs! So fun.
Thanks Jo-Lynne for stopping by. 🙂
Love seeing your family. Makes me fearful and tearful about A.J going to kindergarten!
I know. I so look forward to the first day of school and then I get really sad when it gets here.
Shoes??? You mean there is actually a difference?
Great pics

Not according to my daughter!! 😉
Um, I love this idea to use printables with the grade. Will have to try this for the next school year!
You definitely should try it Katie!
oh i love this
Thanks for stopping by Brandy!
Too cute! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Dolly!
Oh how adorable!!! It’s okay Mama… all will be okay! HUGS!
Thanks Chele!
So very sweet!
Thank you Sarah!
AWW I might have to do that with mine next year.
This is the first year that I have used the printable sheets but I love taking pics right before they head off to their first day!!
I hope you do this every year! Wish I had thought of it!
This is the first year that I have used the printables but I do take pictures every year of their first day. I love it!!
My Wordless Wednesday post is about my dog adding to the stress. He makes just as much of a mess like a child does!
OMG so does my dog Candace. He is like my fourth child!
I LOVE the idea of having them hold the signs! I just might have to do that this year. Here I always have them stand by the front door so I can see how much they grew from year to year.
That is a great idea. I need to get better about tracking how much they are growing and this definitely helped!
Aww!
I love the curved edges of your photos too!
Thanks Penelope!
Firsts are so much fun, and sometimes very tough. My son had his first day of 7th grade, and that was sooo hard. My baby is growing up.
I hate that they are growing up. But I love it too.
Too cute! I love the shoes on the wrong feet! 🙂
I know. Me too! She can never manage to get them on the right feet. It is so cute!!!
Those are just SUPER cute!!!! I may have to use that idea. The polka dots were AWESOME!
Happy WW!
Kas
Thanks Kas!
What an adorable way to show what grade they will be in! And your little daughters shoes on backwards, cracked me up! My daughter does that ALL the time too!!
Thanks Kim! I found those printables on Pinterest and think that they are sooo cute!
Those pics are great! They will be great memories!
They definitely are. Thanks Anne!
aww, they grow up to darn fast! this is a cute idea, I never thought to take a pic of their first day of school, but my dil did last year of my grandsons, I bet she does this year too. (gotta love the shoes on the wrong feet)
Thanks for coming by Faythe!
Aww, cuties! I like the sign idea for pictures!
This is my first year with the sign and I love them!
Wow, 3 off to school! Love the shoes on the wrong feet!
So cute! I have a third grader and one going into Kindergarten this year.
