Now it's high school for both, and I don't even have to drive them to and from - the girl has her license and a car, so little brother gets a free ride and mom gets some freedom.
The freshmen started a day earlier than the rest of high school, so I did take my youngest to his first day of high school. I don't think I could have not taken him, afterall, he's my baby!
Here he is on that first day. I don't think the cat would enjoy high school, although he looks pretty content at the moment....
The next day - we met the very specific time schedule my daughter outlined - photos at 7:30, leave the house by 7:40. She didn't raise a fuss about having her photo taken (you know, sometimes these teens are like "really, do you have to take my photo on the first day of school?" I think she may be getting sentimental on me...).
The boy was ready first, and this is what he wanted:
Always the jokester:
Then there is my "darling daughter who I do not deserve":
OK, I know I'm her mother, but she really does look lovely here.
Sister and brother:
And the requisite silly photo:
I hope they make the most of this school year - that they work hard, play hard, enjoy their friends and make great memories.
They look happy! And may I say, what a pleasure to see a beautiful young lady all fresh faced and dressed so casually without all the fuss. You're right, she is lovely. And he's very handsome. I think you must have done a good job and probably deserve them both.
