My big boy....growing up....

On Wednesday night, Ethan officially "graduated" to 3rd grade.
Um, WHAT?
Ten minutes ago he was asking for his Blue's Clues sippy cup and riding a tricycle. How can he be so big and old?
I guess this is my lot, as a mom. Daily facing the reality that these moments actually do add up to days and months and years. Soon I will blink, and Brody will be off to soccer practice with big brother behind the wheel. (gulp.)
Here's a few shots from the night - it was precious - we love our little school now more than ever.
Here's Ethan (and his entire school - no joke). We put the red vest on him to draw attention upwards away from the pants that have become entirely too short. :)

Oh Tara...it was seriously yesterday that Ethan was entering Kindergarten. I remember thinking how old Ethan was back then & the thought of any child of mine entering kindergarten was so far off! Third grade??? Wow-how time flies...this whole babies growing up thing has me feeling a little teary. We listened to an old Family Life CD the other day and Jamie and I looked at each other and both frowned at the same time. He said, "awww, I miss tara." Thinking of you!
