first day: second grade.

he was too nervous to eat breakfast. 

and mostly worried that he might get homesick during the day.

so we safety-pinned a picture of our family to a secret spot inside his back-pack and headed out the door. 

this boy is now this boy. 

and those green pants were all his idea. 

the last of the summer days.

we're still here. 

in case you were wondering.
