Last First

Wednesday morning was quite emotional (for me, not him), as I photographed Gar for the 14th and final first day of school picture at Kinkaid.  He's naturally excited about this amazing year. And, we're excited for him.  I've loved each age and stage of Julia's and Gar's lives, so my heart says that a Southfork experience of continuing to benefit from their daily presence would be fabulous.  My brain knows that our job as parents is to love and guide our children to independence. 

My heart and brain are in agreement that as much as I cherish the present, the future will also be fabulous. Here's to a year of cheers and tears!
