They are still little tho so you have lots of fun years ahead:) My boys are 16, 18 and 20 now, makes me sad but I'm trying not to spend too much time focusing on how fast it went by:(:(:(<br /><br />My best friend always tells me, in her cute little Latin accent Veektoreea (that's how she says my name) we don't own our children, God only lends them to us for a while.

New backpacks, fresh paper and pens and pencils and crayons, new lunch bag and all the trimmings. Now I see photos of my grandchildren doing the new school shuffle.

Looking at your beautiful confident children tells me that you've done a wonderful job mothering them. They will do well, because of the beautiful mum you are.<br /><br />The last of my 5 is leaving on saturday, 5 days away, for university. I am not sure i'll even be able to write on my blog about it. Our nest is empty. sniff,sniff. Waaaaaa. <br /><br />Enjoy all your precious moments and good luck for the new school year! (you start so early!)<br /><br />love,<br />lori<br /><br />p.s. ALL you artwork is just gorgeous!Lori annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02860428306713379828noreply@blogger.com
