Back-to-School Student Photos
Last week I started our homeschool year with Kathryn. She is rapidly approaching eleven years of age. When did that happen?
Kathryn – 5th grade
And of course, Lacy the WonderDog is always part of our homeschool days. Sadly, most places frown upon us bringing her on field trips. Which, as I think about it, could be really doggone interesting. (Hee hee. Doggone. I crack myself up.)
Lacy – smartest dog ever
Yesterday, my sixteen-year-old Lindsey started school. Public school. I sent her off on the big yellow bus. First time in my life. Not the first time in her life, though. It’s part of our complicated story, but she was in public school all her life up until we adopted her two years ago. Now she’s back in public school. Part of the whys, in case you’re relatively new to my blog: You’re a Teacher?
Lindsey – first day
And my stepson Brandon? He’s still attending a local university, living in an apartment near campus — so I haven’t snagged him for a back-to-school photo. However, he and his fianceé are busy planning their wedding, and we’ll be shooting their engagement photos in just a couple of weeks!

Wife, mom, J-ma. Introvert who enjoys good books, sunshine, and authentic conversation. Often seen with a steaming mug of tea in hand – unless it’s lost yet again in the microwave. Read more »
All beautiful girls!! I pray you have the best year yet!
Love your photos…way better than those we had taken in public school. 🙂
Wow! Your beautiful family is growing up. How did Lindsey’s first day at ps go? You know, I really think Lacy is the smartest dog ever.
Best wishes for everyone’s first day:) It sounds like you have all sorts of new adventures planned for this year… good thing Lacy is there to see you through (I love her brindled face).
Visiting from hotm… first year homeschooling my 6th and 8th grade boys.
Good for you getting all those pics. My senior slipped out the door before I could take his photo. Glad to see you made it to 100 FB “Likes.”
Congrats on the college student! Our oldest, who is 17 and adopted, has been attending public school all the way up, as well. This is our second year homeschooling and now she is at her senior year of high school so she just wants to finish “at school”…even though at times I think she feels left out of the family. Do you have those types of issues at all?
Love the dog…smartest dog! And thanks for the laugh…that was funny! =D
Hope you have a great school year!!
Jen – I’m planning a post about more of this very soon.
What sweet girls! They do grow up too fast; don’t they?
They grow up so fast! My youngest is 13. Have a blessed year.
I love “first day of school” photos…
Didn’t realize our girls were headed into the same grade…almost eleven…and 5th.
I just spent about 45 minutes trying to take one of those hair wraps out of Laura’s hair!!! 🙂
Good luck to all for the new school year. I never thought of taking our mascot on a field trip but it truly would be a trip. lol
Great pictures! I love Lindsey’s owl necklace. At times, it’s challenging to be obedient to what God calls us to when our hearts feel something totally different. I appreciate you sharing what’s on you heart.
