last day of summer | first day of school

yesterday,

we were in swimsuits.

with life vests strapped to our backs.

riding on a boat and intertubes

and playing in water.

(champoeg park & willamette river | labor day 2010)

today,

we were in school clothes.

with backpacks strapped to our backs.

riding on bikes

and walking into our new classrooms.

(sunnyside elementary, grades 1,3, and 5 | september 7, 2010)

thankfully,

in both places

we had each other

and dear friends to share it with.

(special thanks to the top family for a day on the river!!)

here's to another school year!
