First day of school!

Day one of 9th grade & 7th grade. It's a cliche because it's true -- WHERE DOES THE TIME GO? Unfortunately, the days of a joint bus stop are gone, so no traditional picture like this one from five years ago.

Instead, we got Greta in a drizzle on the driveway before her 1/2 mile walk with friends through the fields to the school.

And then Lincoln at the kitchen table, taking a break from his muffin and YouTube to smile for the camera.

Couldn't be prouder of them both. Smart, outgoing and trying new things. That's pretty much the job description for the next 4-6 years.
