Back To School

Making the decision to have a child is momentous.  It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.  ~Elizabeth Stone

And so for the last time I take a back to school photo as Mackey heads of to start her senior year today. My heart drove down the driveway and headed to naperville north this morning.

Can it be

Summer streams by too quickly in Illinois.
Perhaps it is the lack of a State Fair tradition ( oh they have one alright but it is not THE State Fair.)
Perhaps it is the constant coming and going all summer and the lack of any real down time'
Perhaps it is the acceleration of time that comes with aging.
Perhaps it is that summer is just too short.

Nonetheless, summer is over and Mackey is Back in School.
Back to her incredibly busy , very demanding schedule.
She is growing up too quickly

Back to School

What a crazy week of Back to Schoolness starting this week:
Blair - University of Wisconsin Business School
Brigham - starting his Master in Computer Science
Evan - his third year of non-matriculated BYU Studies
Parker - Freshman year BYU
Mackey - Sophomore at Naperville North

That's a whole lot of schooling going on:
