It’s that time of year where all the children head back to school (at least ours anyway).
My goodness the summer went fast.
I took a few minutes to get some quick shots of the girls. Luckily, there is a school nearby (not the one they go to) that captured the essence of their youth and the thrill of new adventures.

She is tan! Guess that is what happens when you are a summer lifeguard.
Love the pictures with inspiring rocks!
Thanks! I thought they were the coolest things ever.
Great back to school pics!
Thank-you! We were going to go to another location, but it started POURING rain. We barely made it in the car. LOL.
So cute. So young and vibrant. The ring Sydney is wearing looks like an egagement ring in the photos.
Oh it’s NOT. It’s a PROMISE RING. O.M.G. I’m sooo not ready for THAT.
I know it’s not because there would be a blog post on that! As I was typing it I thought the comment might freak you out sorry! I am sure that when Syd is ready you will be too, she’s a smart girl and will do it when she is ready! Hugs!
I am not even ready for a PROMISE ring. Holy moly.
Freaks me out every time I see it. LOL. And now she is 18….like MY age when I met her dad……oh brother! Thanks for the hugs! I am really not worried. She is a smart girl and in college! That is something I didn’t do. Woo!
Fabulously stated. Beautifully photographed. Gorgeous kids.
Thanks Gemma!
Such great pictures of such a beautiful family!
Thanks Nikki!

Thank-you so much! I am so behind on, well, everything! But I REALLY appreciate the thought.
Great pictures of your family with some wonderful thoughts. As always beautifully presented by you. Great work Angelia. Have a great day!
Sweet Arindam, thank you kindly!
What a beautiful shooting! They all look lovely and ready to triumph in school!
I am really hoping they do!
Very inspiring!
It is really neat of the school to do that.
I love the quotes, and, of course, those beautiful girls. And I agree – it goes way too fast. But – that back to school thing really is fun too!
Thanks Bethany! It is fun. I know you are enjoying getting back to it as well.
The lovely smiles of your children are priceless…wishing them all the best for the next school year!
Thank you so much! That means a lot.
Love the rocks with the girls. Hearkens back to the days when all of life was ahead of us with all it’s beauty and adventure.
Ahhhh…memories of youth. Did we really only have to worry about homework and what outfit to wear the next day????
Stunning thoughtful post!!
