First Day of College

It has been a long, long time since I have taken a "first day of school picture". I think the last time I took a picture was when at least one of the kids had a Scooby Doo back pack. Aubrey tells me that was when she was in first grade.

So I cajoled Aubrey and Peter into humoring me and letting me take a First Day of College picture. It will be the last school picture I can take...till graduation.

Wow! I can't believe I have reached this stage in my life. I thought I would have kids around for-ev-er.

You can tell they were making the best of humoring me...notice the UVU t-shirts...

Then they offered the "cheesy grin" pose rendition. I am glad to say good bye to "free education" fees and PTO membership dues.


This is the "artsy" rendition...(ha, ha, Katie doesn't have to worry about me ever usurping her position as the official family photog)...I am glad to say good riddance to unproductive parent-teacher conferences...


I'm just not sure I'm ready to let my bright, eager, and capable young adults go...I kind of even miss Scooby Doo...


And finally, Aubrey and Peter offer the perfect finish! ;)

Hmmm...Then again...maybe I should just let them put their best "ends" forward!
