Throwback Thursday...
We sat down this evening after dinner and pulled out an old photo book...2007 to be precise. We were living in Milwaukee and we had just one child. Our completely outdated home we had just purchased was in the throws of some serious renovation projects. Did I mention we only had one child and there were a lot of pictures of her. First kid always has the advantage in pictures.
I could've sat there all night looking through albums. It's always fun to remember when. I came across this photo of us dating...circa 2003. Man we were young.
Sometimes in all the hoopla of raising kids, I'm just living day-to-day. I forget that there is an entire future before us and that we've taken a lot of steps to get where we are. Our lives are made up of small moments. Most of the moments are so small we rarely remember them. Some are not so small. When I look at this photo I remember the small moment very clearly. That's what I love about photos. It jogs that small place in your brain that houses the memory and makes it come to life all over again.

Last day of school...
Goodbye second grade. Goodbye preschool. Hello summer vacation.
Hallie came home from school on her last day of second grade more distraught than I've seen her in a while. Her best friend (who's been in her class two years in a row) is in a different class next year and to make matters worse - her other good friend is also in the other class. You would've thought they were moving across the country for how devastated she was. I did remind her that her friend lives 9 houses down, they ride the bus together and they're in the same church class. It's not as though she'll never see her...but in the eyes of a second grader, her world is officially ending.
Hunter came home singing a different tune. He said goodbye to his best friend who will be going to another school and they legitimately won't see each other. I asked if it was hard to say goodbye. He looked at me confused..."No, I just said goodbye and he said goodbye and I gave him a piece of my candy."
Awesome. More evidence that boys and girls are completely different!
