First and Last

A look back at September 2009 after the longest summer ever at the Gr. 2 girl with the jaunty hair, missing tooth, spindly legs, who was turning cartwheels on the beach at Southampton 15 hours before this picture was taken....NOTE -- this skirt is now too short to be worn to school, she's grown so much.


Fast forward to June 29, 2010 and it's a 1/2 head-taller gal -- still with spindly legs, hair long enough for a pony tail now, striking her vogue pose on the last day of Gr. 2. She has a worldly-wise quality to her -- look at the "posed" leg. She's all that and a bag of chips, Shauna would say. This is a girl who has rocked Gr. 2 and is ready for summer. NOTE -- the green leggings no longer need a pin in the back to hold them up.

*sigh* she's lovely and I'm melancholy.

I love this post. I wish I'd thought to take a picture on Sophie's last day of school too. Our girls are growing up. I'm both happy, and like Lianne, melancholy at the same time.

Congratulations to our big girls! Julia is just lovely - in both pics.
