School Days: A Caden Comparison (And Kaki too!)

Well, it's official... it's summer! Can y'all believe it? Last week was Caden's last week of school. I just don't know what to think about it. I mean it feel like just yesterday we were meeting the teacher... a gem of a teacher I might add. Truly, Mrs. W will always, always hold a special place in our hearts, and perhaps that is why I sobbed like a BABY or a hormonal Mama when I said bye to her last week. She has done so much for Caden... so much to ensure that he had the best year possible... and at times that wasn't an easy job. She communicated so well with Justin and I and worked with us to help Caden through some adjustment/maturity/reality lessons this year. I must say... he's an entirely different kid and has learned so much. I would say that intellectually he had a good year but more than anything Caden's social skills really blossomed. My shy guy isn't quite so anymore... and really it all just boils down to this...

Cade-man is growing up! Plain and simple!

Check him out... FIRST day... the new big brother, ready to tackle a new year...


Still a bit "soft" around the edges!



Baby-faced and fancy free...



And now look at him...

Ready to shower Mrs. W with flowers...




Confident, strong and a bit taller... making all that "soft" a little less so...



Sweet as could be...



And always a clapper!!



Self-control, Caden... hands behind your back. After all he'll be the first to tell you that self control is his favorite "fwoot of the seer-it"



How about a lil sister comparison???!! Think she's changed??




She cooperated much better way back when... she's too busy for me these days! 



I finally caught her front side... Lil snot nosed sister!! She sure is cute!! :)



These kids... they are a growin'... like little weeds... with flowers on the end, of course!

Happy Summer!
