Yesterday was the first day of school for these two!
Cooper is a junior.
It's always so wild to me to look back at the previous years' pictures and compare them.
He's a different human this year!
Still my protector, my helper, my sweet boy.
Also a varsity defensive end, a track runner, and a messy-room keeper!
Ryker is a seventh grader.
This one stings.
He's the baby.
He's been a bit nervous.
Me too.
I HATE junior high.
Ryker is my snuggler, my joke-cracker, my non-morning kid, my magnet.
He is also a linebacker, a second baseman, a basketball player, a game-player.
Last night, we charged their laptops and readied their backpacks as much as we could.
I pray this is a good year for both of them.
I always tell them that who they choose to be in their space is one of the most important decisions they will make at their age.
Here we go!
