Where did my babies go...

Without a doubt this day comes every year rather I'm ready for it or not.  The 1st day of school, such an exciting day for my girls but a hard day on this momma.  We have our traditions of back to school shopping, getting our supplies and of course the dilemas over what lunch box and back pack we get and do they match!  We also eat out the night before school, I say its so we aren't rushed in getting all of our stuff ready but really its just a great reason not to cook!

 So here we are August 16, 2012 and I now have a 2nd grader and a (pause as I am still getting used to saying this) 7th grader who is in Middle School.  As I took their pictures this morning I still see their sweet little faces from their Pre-K pictures. This will be a great year for both of them, full of new friends and experiences.  I just wish I could be with them to proctect and help them if needed.  I just have to remember that I am rasing strong, smart girls and even though I still see them as little they are growing up.

So as we start another school year and I look back on how they have grown and look forward to watching them grow even more my wish for them is to always believe in yourself and do what you know is right!

I love you sweet girls and everyday you make me so proud to be your mom!

And PS, just beware if anyone messes with my babies this Momma Bear will come out :)
