seems like just yesterday, that alyssa was starting kindergarten. and yet, it was actually almost 10 years ago. and tonight, my girl is graduating from junior high school. that means that high school is next, in just 2 short months. awwwwwww. this mom is getting a little emotional about this big moment in her life. i'm tearing up just thinking about it. but, before she marches out in her gown and accepts that diploma, i thought it would be fun to look back over the years. i worked really hard to find all the "first day" photos from each school year. only 4 of these are digital. the rest, i had to dig for extra copies laying in boxes, or take pictures of the picture, that is already on a layout in an album. here we go.

i love seeing these all together. in fact, i might just dig out my negatives, have copies made, and scrap them all together for her school album. making a mental note to do that. wish us luck tonight. it's supposed to rain, which means they've already decided to move the ceremonies inside the gym. which means less people can come and watch. which means we got limited to just 7 tickets. sarah was gracious enough to offer up her ticket, so that all 4 of the grandparents could come and watch alyssa. sarah said "it's not that i don't care, but i want them to see her". awwwww. i just love my girls 🙂
update: one of alyssa's friends came across an extra ticket. so sarah DID get to go to graduation tonight 🙂
