What? When? How?

Oh My, can someone please make the time slow down, just a little?
 
Please.
 
Our baby girl started Kinder this morning.
 
(She loves showing off her new bag)
 
and she LOVED it.
No tears, no separation anxiety just pure excitement.
 
Then this afternoon she went back to Ballet for her second year.
More pure joy and excitement.  Problem though, she must have grown.
Grown a lot. Her ballet uniform does not fit!   Arghh
Oh well, new one is on order :)
 
So in light of all this a "photo shoot" was called
before everyone ran out the front door this morning.
 
"Age order"

 
Then I asked them to "mix it up a little"

 
What?  When? How did that kid get so tall? lol
 
Dearest Aiden is now taller than me and heading into year 9.
Year 9, really? How?  Someone please explain.
Dec is in Year 8, yep I can handle that but Keegan?
Grade 5, How? When did she grow up?
 
Oh my, I need a wine and take all this in :)
 
My baby (Lily) is home with me tomorrow so no more shocks there,
but come Wednesday she is back at Kinder and OMG it is Aiden's Birthday.
 
Happy (early)  Birthday my "Baby" that is now taller than me "Boy".
 
Better start thinking about a birthday cake,
 
Now where was that wine?
 
hugs, Sharon

  2. I love it when you take a family photo like this and then realise how much everyone has grown! It's a shock.
    What a gorgeous bunch you have Sharon. Don't worry my eldest towers over me too!
    I think I cried more on Kinder day than my girls!
    Enjoy your lovely family.

  8. Hey... it's great the Lily loves Kinder. Imagine how you would be feeling if she was upset. Both of you would be crying buckets then. You could always add a new one to the nest to keep you busy...;o)

  9. I know Lily is going to love kinder. These kids do keep growing, don't they! Mitchell and Austin are way taller than me and Nelson has reached my height or may possibly have now passed me!

  13. The older we get the faster time seems to fly past. I ran into someone I havent seen for ages the other day and she asked how the girls were and had the biggest shock of her life to hear that they were 14 and 16!
