I'm having a moment...

[lmccandless]

I need to share this with people who will really appreciate it - and that's you guys! *sniff sniff* THIS is why I am a memory keeper.

Last day of elementary school for Julia (and ever for my family!) so I did a little side-by-side comparison of her Kindergarten and 5th grade photos. Oh my heart...

Laura I'm so glad you shared this with us! (BTW, she is a MINI-you ) - Isn't it just crazy how the years march on?! Each memory is a treasure and, like you, I'm so grateful to be able to scrap them ... keeping the memories alive forever!!!
Here's to a great year to your 'growing-up-too-quickly' 5th grader!! Sending you hugs!!

aaaawwww She really does look like you. All the feels!

 

[Nemla]

Ohhh, Both you and she will be happy you did this in the years to come !

 

[Tree City]

Aw, look at those photos ... and yet where does the time go?!

 

[jk703]

Oh my goodness! Adorable! Growing so fast and she's beautiful!

 

[IntenseMagic]

Awww she is so beautiful! Time sure does go by in a hurry, doesn't it! My youngest is starting his last year of middle school this year *sigh*.

 

[lmccandless]

My oldest daughter just started her sophomore year of college so I know from personal experience how truly fast the time goes!

She is like a mini you! Time does fly and I'm so thankful that I take a lot of photos and scrap to help preserve those memories.

oh i love these comparisons! and totally get the 'sniff' moment- i did this last year with DD's 1st and last primary school 'official' pics - let me dig up the layout, it was FB memory for me the other week actually.... dig, dig, ok here we go

 

[lmccandless]

@bellbird - that's soooo wonderful! I love both of those beautiful pics and the storytelling is marvelous!!

 

[Sokee]

awwww I know how hard this is. She is beautiful by the way! We had to say goodbye to the public school district in June as our youngest graduated from High School................... BUT I was ready to say goodbye to it so I did some high fives!

 

[cfile]

She is adorable Laura and definitely a mini you!! So precious!

 

[LeeAndra]

Aww... I'm feelin' ya. My daughter turned 8 today. EIGHT! She's almost double digits. I can hardly believe it.

They days go slow but the years go fast.

Ah! Yes, something special when the baby of the family grows up. Two more years of high school for my baby. Then all the birdies will have flown the nest.

 

[dailydwelling]

Oh my goodness...what a cutie!!! Each year I am more sentimental about how fast my kiddos are growing up!

 

[KittyY]

I never get tired of seeing side by side comparison pics! I just love those!! (p.s. she looks like you! Copy/paste!)

 

[KarenB]

She is gorgeous and looks so much like you! I love taking photos like that...should do it more often really. Must get one of those little blackboards And I totally agree, this is why we scrapbook

 

[cookingmylife]

This is precious. I so wish I had this kind of thing for my chicks, much less photos of them in school! So much of that wasn't thought of back then especially in the countries we lived in. I love yours.
