Ben's School Picture

I love fall. I think it must stem from childhood and all the back-to-school excitement. Of course, one of the quintessential back-to-school traditions is school pictures. I have fun memories of my Mom being a "picture lady," handing out those little plastic combs to all the kids as we waited in line for our turn in front of the camera. And it's so fun now to look back at all my school pictures and see how I changed from year to year. So, it's with a lot of nostalgia and a lot of "I can't believe Ben is already a pre-kindergartener, he's getting too big too quickly" sentiments that I present his '09 school picture ... Something about this time of year - all the change, I suppose - that brings both joy and heartbreak at watching these "babies" of ours grow up.
