1st Day of School

So, school has started here again, already.  The older 3's first day was Aug 12th, and Mia's was Aug 16th.  I can not believe that I have an 8th grader, a 5th grader, a 2nd grader and a last year of preschooler.  Where has the time gone?  I wish my babies would stay babies!  Here they are on their first day of school:

Brianna:

Nic:

Serena: 

Mia:

And on another note, my kids seem to have grown like weeds all of the sudden, especially Nic and Serena (and their feet!)  In Jan., Serena wore a size 11 shoe and Nic wore around a size 3.5.  Now, Serena wears a size 1 and Nic wears a size 5!!!  His feet are as big as mine (and he's only 10).  I had to take Serena to buy a new pair of tennis shoes last week (since her old ones were a size 12, oops) and Dan and I were lauging because she has these big feet, and skinny little legs.  I mean, I don't think she weighs 50 lbs yet!  So, here is a pic of her and her big feet:

And here's a closeup of her new "kicks."  She picked them because she thinks they look like cheerleading shoes!
