one week from today...

...this little pumpkin will be in school.
Elementary School. *gulp*

So we took advantage of some down time to snap some fun pictures...this was probably one of my favorite photo shoots because we got everything done in less than 15 minutes!!! {you kind of have to when it's 100+ degrees!}

Thank you Noonie for being my super quick apple balancer and making the littles laugh with your silly antics!

She looks so grown up, doesn't she? *tear*

I kind of lost her there for a minute...she was enthralled while reading this sweet vintage book and didn't want to put it down!!

Our sweet little pumpkin...exactly 5 yrs. 5 months today!

Of course we couldn't leave little brother out!!

Mr. Personality. Love him!

Our dinosaur-lovin', Lego-crazy, puzzle-master, best hug-giving little boy...
Hudson, 3 yrs. 1 mo.

Oh, be still my heart.
Won't you stay little? Pretty please?

Preschool-bound and so ready!

Kindergarten, here I come!!

Dear Grace & Hudson,
Our prayers for you as we kick-off the 2012-2013 school year...
That you will learn and grow, make new friends, show kindness and respect to everyone you meet, remain compassionate and true to the values we've taught you, and above all, keep God in your heart and at the center of everything you do.
We love you and we're excited to begin this new chapter with you.
XOXO,
Mama & Daddy
