First Day of School Photos 2022-2023

Last week we started a slow roll into our homeschool year.  This week we are adding in more and everything will be in full swing in September when our CoOp begins.  This is the first year without A and I am definitely missing her; however, she is doing extremely well in college so I'm grateful for that!

 B is a Junior

C is a Sophomore

 D is in 8th grade

 E is in 5th grade

 F is in 3rd grade

And G is in 1st grade

Here's to a great homeschooling year!  I'm expecting great things.

Last Day of School Photos 2020-2021

This seems like such a funny time to have our end of school photo shoot as everyone is posting first day of school photos but we finally did our last day of school pictures!  This year we had a few more subjects go into our summer than we had originally planned so that's why these might seem a tad late.  We needed to get them done because we will be starting the new school year within the next few weeks, the beauty of homeschooling!  We did pretty well about using the same clothes except C, he literally has none of the things he wore on the 1st day photo shoot - someone grew a lot this year!  Without further ado:

It always amazes me how much G grows in 1 year!

I can really see F's height difference.

E has matured so much in her face.

D's legs are a bit longer and so is her hair.

C has grown a ton.  He now wears a men's size 9 shoe.

B is very close to being taller than me.

A's hair has grown a lot as well.

And that's a wrap!  Stay tuned for first day of school photos for the next year coming soon.

First Day of School Photos 2020-2021

All the kids!

The kids have been begging me to officially start our homeschool year (no, I'm not joking) so today was the day.  I'm super excited about how productive the kids were today and how motivated they seem to be to have a fantastic year.  I know that so much of this year (2020) has not been what people have expected and it has been hard in very different ways but I'm super excited that we are all homeschooling again this year and I feel like it will definitely give us more flexibility and stability.  This will officially be my 13th year of homeschooling as A is now a Junior in high school - wow!  Hope you all have a fantastic year.  I'm looking forward to seeing what we accomplish together.

A is a Junior

B's 1st day of high school, she is a Freshman

May the odds be ever in our favor in our continued homeschooling adventure!

First Day of School Photos 2019-2020

We started school last week and of course I took photos of our first day!  I'm just a bit behind in posting them.  We are a little over a week into our school year and I'm so pleased with how everything is going.  I think it's going to be a great year!

D is in 5th Grade

 E is in 2nd grade

Here's to the best school year yet!

End of School Photo Shoot

I saw someone do this on Instagram and fell in love.  They took photos of their kids at the beginning of the school year and at the end of the school year wearing the same clothes.  I wish I knew who to give credit for this (If it's you, let me know and I'll update this).  So, I decided to see if I could recreate our first day of school photos on the last day of school with my kiddos.  Now, mind you I didn't know I was doing this last Fall so I wasn't sure if we would still have the same clothes.  And with homeschooling, last days of school are a bit more ambiguous as we tend to work on things throughout the summer here and there.  Nevertheless, here are our results:

 Miss A - nearing her full height

Miss B (we could only find one sock!) - I see her growth the most in her longer legs.
She has new glasses too.

Mister C - he is definitely taller.

 Miss D - I see it the most in her arms and hair.

Miss E (we don't have the exact pants but these jeans are close) - like D I see her growth the most in her arms and hair.

 Mister F (we don't still have those pants!) - his face looks more mature.

Mister G - look how much he's grown!

This was such a fun idea!  I think we just might have to make it a tradition.

First Day of School

 A and B made chocolate chip peppermint glazed cupcakes for our first day back.

Today was our first day back to school!  It started out pretty rocky as I wasn't feeling well last night but I am glad to say I am feeling better and all in all I think it was a successful first day.  I am excited for this school year and the kids are ready to learn!  Here are our 1st day of school photos!

 A is now in 7th grade!

Miss B - 5th grade

I took these photos late in the day and C was already at baseball practice so I didn't get his photo until late in the evening.  C - 4th grade

Miss D - A cool 2nd

E is now in K!

Mr. F will be in a PreK for a few years, love that smile!

 Baby G was exhausted after our first day back.

Here's to a great school year!
