Take these Broken Wings and Learn to Fly Again

The big kids flit off to school today. Lucas starts 4th grade and Emily starts 3rd. And tomorrow, Little Miss Clara starts Kindergarten.

Off they fly...

Must pack lunches, feed them breakfast and get them ready to go. The busy mornings begin again.

Thanks so much for the lovely anniversary wishes. We had a nice date night...got gourmet burgers and watched Guardians of the Galaxy.
Lovely capture

Thanks so much ladies. And yes they do, It's funny how it feels slow in the moment,,,in the day to day, but then they have another birthday and another school year and all of a sudden, where has the time gone. A strange phenomenon for sure.

Gorgeous butterfly! I am now watching all my grandkids go off to school and kindy. They definitely grow up too fast :(

@amandal agree with the strangest of life with kids. How can the hour pre tea feel like time is actually going backwards yet how is it possible my eldest has been here for 5 plus years already? Hoping all went well. Two weeks tomorrow littlest starts first morning of preschool....
