Days with the Dorans

And just like that, another summer has come to an end. The morning came early but of course I had to get some pics of my high schoolers. Jeff switched schools and now is at the High School (and liked it more than he thought he would). Of course Ali was off and though she was nervous (which made me nervous), I know that girl will be just fine. It actually wasn't as bad saying goodbye as I thought it would be. Joey too was old hat at all of this- of course they worry about lunch and which friends will be in classes since they get schedules last minute but I know they'll be fine. Since it was the first day, Papa came over early to see them off. He told Ali he would walk her to the bus stop through high school but really- just that first day. I was walking Marty so got to grab a picture of them too. Twin Sarah was at the bus stop as well as some other kiddos I didn't know. It's weird because Joey was there all by himself last year. It sure is dark in the m...

 UGH! I blinked and my baby is old enough for HS! I didn't run the first day because I had to be up that first day for pics!! The good news is Jeff is up at the same time since he too is off to 9th grade! I am actually up but usually running on the dreadmill since I'm a bit nervous to run in the dark after a spooky experience. I admit I've been texting him when I'm done to make sure he's made that bus (dark can be spooky). I don't know how Joe felt about me following him around snapping pictures that first day. I think he was as excited as I was. He had a great first day (and week since I'm late in writing) and I can't believe next year I'll be chasing Ali around for as she starts HS! Slow down, time!
