With the yellow leaves fluttering down, we rush around gathering new shoes, backpacks, supplies, haircuts, hopes. We note with amazement and pride how tall they have grown. Time for one last swim, long bike ride, ice cream cone. It helps, you know, to keep those fluttery back-to-school butterflies calm in the belly. Bittersweet back-to-school time. So long summer, hello fresh start. Everyone's getting straight A's this year, right? :) !!

Love the way you describe the going back to school jitters!
Out bloghopping this morning- I enjolyed reading through yours. I wish we started school in Sept as opposed to the end of August. I hate to see our kids head off to school.... Hope you can stop by my farm for a visit. :)
We started back today too...although I forgot to snap a picture!
There is something in the posture, that belies the fact that this might not be a favorite pose.
Cute post, great shot. Here's to the first day back.

wow, where has this summer gone?
you make me almost "almost" miss this ritual of school shopping and off to new beginnings.
cant believe how fast summer went!
Hard to believe! I started back (I'm a teacher) today. It was good to see the kids! :)
