Mama OWL Blog: Back to School #theGallery

Wednesday, 4 September 2013

This time of year seems to come around faster and faster. I know it doesn't, it's still twelve months like always. But as the children get older, time seems to speed up somehow. The kids line up for their back to school photo and I wonder where the time has gone. I almost feel like I can't absorb enough of them, I want to remember every minute of their lives as I watch them grow up. It actually makes me emotional to know that I will never ever get these days again, this is it. And it goes by just so quickly.

This photo was taken last year, as they began the 2012/2013 term. Starting years ten, seven, five and two.

And this is back to school for 2013/2014. What a difference a year makes (it actually looks like A & J have swapped hair)! Starting years eleven, eight, six and three and my baby girl starting nursery.

Enjoy these moments, take photos and treasure them, because before you know it you will be packing them off into the big wide world to find their own adventures.

These days are yours, so hold them dear.

I love seeing the difference a year makes. We try to get a photo of each of our three at about the same time every year, and it's turning into a lovely collection :) You are so right about savouring every moment x
