This Fall he will begin a new chapter in his life...
So very bittersweet for me....
We made cute little flower pots for his awesome teachers.
He was so proud.
It was only appropriate that on the last day of school he and his "best friends ever" released his butterflies that he received for his birthday....
He watched them grow from caterpillars and blossom into pretty painted lady butterflies....
Letting them go into the great wide open....
I can't help but feel when Owen starts kindergarten that I will be letting him go.....
Into this great big, scary, crazy, amazing world....
Not sure I'm ready for that....
Watching him grow and change has been one of the most amazing experiences in my life...
Come Fall I will let go, if only just a little....
Hold on tight...
and enjoy this crazy ride...
(so the butterflies ended up blurry.....was so worried they would fly away I snapped too quickly...oh well. Life is not always perfect, right?!)

The black and white of the little girl is just so sweet.
Letting them go is hard stuff, isn't it. I'm not ready for it either, my friend. We will tell our happy and sad stories of the first day of kindergarten in the fall together.
How is it they grow-up so fast?
And how can I protect them from our great big, scary, crazy world?...
sigh...
off to cry myself to sleep later...
Being Mother's we all go through similar feelings together! It is so hard to let go. Our jobs are to protect them and this world they have to enter is scary! Your pictures once again are beautiful! Such a beautiful post! And a wonderfully cute Owen. I'm glad I can share the same feelings as you! It's a hard HARD thing!

And the pots are awesome!
You are so creative with those pots. So darn cute. Love them.
Love these photos, too. It is hard letting go. It sucks. But I guarantee come October you will probably be enjoying your time alone with Max :)
