I pray you'll be my eyes
And watch him as he goes
And help him to be wise
Help me to let go
Every mother's prayer
Should he lose his way
Lead him to a place
Guide him with your grace
To a place where he'll be safe

Today is my baby's first official day of 7th grade. Where did the time go? Yesterday he went to school for a half day so they could show all the new 7th graders around the school.

Look at how small he looks!

He was so excited about starting school and loved all his teachers.
This morning, he just didn't want to take pictures!


He didn't like my idea of holding up 7 fingers to show he's in 7th grade. He's already too cool for mom.



Can you believe his feet are now bigger than mine?????

His Grandma Jo took him shopping and bought him a new outfit for school. He wore the shirt and shorts yesterday to orientation and today he wore the cool shoes and backpack she bought him.



This is when I dropped him off and he's saying, "Only one picture mom."

Today, he doesn't look so small anymore. He just walked away and didn't even look back. Probably best so he didn't see me crying. I love you Michael. No mother could be any more proud of her son than I am of you.
