This is finally it.

This is the last day first day of school picture we will ever do with our 5 kids.

Gabe is starting 3rd year university, but has always been around for this picture. But we know next year, he won’t be here at the start of the year.

This is Zach and Zandra’s last year of high school, and they both have big plans for next year, so they won’t be here either.

We will be down to two.

Before I melt into a complete puddle of tears, let’s focus on this year and the photos that we were able to take!

Here’s our Uni boy:

Here’s the beautiful grade 12 girl:

And the dashing grade 12 Zach:

Our handsome Josh (who forgot he is actually starting grade 10, lol):

And last, but not least, the cutie, Sam:

Oops, sorry. We also have our adorable Reggie:

I always like to get the series of these pictures:

See how Josh is showing grade 9 (Zandra is using 2 of her toes):

He realized it’s grade 10:

And our prize family photo:

Sam was the only one who actually headed off to school right away:

The rest were just troopers who got us 2 hours early so we could do the photos before Sam left!

They all had a great first day of school though!

The days are long, but man, those years are short.
