My 4th grader

Ben started the new school year today, and is now in Middle School. I told him that now he's in 4th grade, there will have to be changes. I'm not sure how soon we will be able to implement these changes, but hopefully my patience won't wear thin too early. :)

Here are the pictures I took this morning to start the year:







Was looking through some of my earlier posts and it's weird to see how much he's grown up. There are times when I miss the little Ben. Still I'm thankful he is still affectionate. I know the time will come when he won't be anymore, so I'm holding on to that while I can.

This year, I hope I'll be creative enough to think of a good way to document how things are going for us. Blogging regularly, maybe? Am keeping my fingers crossed.
