The years have flown by and it’s 2025 now…
This September will be the first time that Janice and I will not have kids going back to school.
Our youngest kids (my Sophia and Janice’s Olivia) just graduated from high school. It feels in some ways like we’ve finished a marathon… but also rather sad that our kids are all grown up.
Julia, Sophia, and Olivia are still on their post-secondary journeys, but Jackson has already graduated from university.
We’ve shared many Back to School photos over the years as well as Back to School Recipes, School Supplies Lists, and Back to School Shopping Guides.
While our own children are done school, we will still be sharing ways to help you guide your kids through their education. We’ve learned so very much on this long, winding road of guiding our children through their education that we want to take the time to help other families through their journeys.
Wordless Wednesday
“Wordless Wednesday” which was created by a blogger named Uisce and is still in action at Wordless Wednesday was one of our favorite blogging carnival link ups and we joined weekly for many years.
But we’re now updating our site and sadly we must delete the old “linky lists” that are mostly full of links to blog posts that are no longer active.
We sincerely thank all of our readers who shared their links in our Wordless Wednesday posts.

So great to see such happy faces albeit for a minute 😉 !!
My children all of 7 years, will not let me take any pictures at all, unless they are busy not noticing it 😉 God bless, take care

LOVE!!! My kids are back in full swing and of course I had to make them all post well not the oldest cause he gave me the look when I told him to hold the “Freshman in HS” board Ha.. so I just had to edit that in his picture 🙂
Your kids look like they have so much fun together. Good for them.

They look so happy and ready to start school. Hope everyone has a great one.
Cute pictures! They seem happy to go to school! 🙂
I love the attitude these photos evoke! Love the collage, too. I need to do that more often…
Oh my word! Your kiddos are seriously so adorable!
Beautiful photos! Happy first week 🙂 🙂
Great pics. I love the idea of holding up a sign that says the school year and date. I might have to steal that one!
Congrats on the start of another school year! Gorgeous kids!!
Those are great pics! I LOVE the one where they are all hugging.
Very cute photos!!
Amazing pictures! And how did you create such a beautiful gallery? I couldn’t help but smile looking at their sweet faces. You really captured their personalities well.
Gorgeous photos of all of the kids. Love how you do photos each school year so you can see how they grow (we do the same). They are so lucky to be close to one another as well.
They all look so happy! These are great!
LOL! Your daughter looks like she’s saying, “Oh no she DI’INT!” 😉
WAY TOO CUTE!!!!
What wonderful shots. My 3 year old just started kindergarten too, I couldn’t help myself, I just had to write her a letter. I miss having her at home with me but she’s thriving at school. These milestones sure are bittersweet.
Cheers,
Char
