    They change a lot in a year don't they? We still have another almost 2 weeks before school starts. It's late this year!

    What a difference a year can make. That's a great idea. I wish I would have done that with my kids.

    What a wonderful composite.

    We have first days since forever but getting them all in one place would be a year's task.

    What an incredibly fun way to document the changes!
    This year she looks like a pre-teen, last year, more like a little girl.
    Love the series of photos!

    I adore first day of school photos!! And I love seeing the progression through the years. The collage you chose is fantastic and I think I'll try that in a few more years when Peanut is in 5th grade. She looks so much more "grown up" this year than last. Where does the time go? Guess we better enjoy while we can. xo

    I do hope Coleen has a great year. The new teacher sounds promising. Loved seeing the transitions from year to year. She looks like the perfect balance of "sweet" and "cool" to me.
