First Day - Senior Year

My mother was AWESOME! Although she didn't really take a lot of pictures when I was a kid...at least I don't remember it anyway. I, on the other hand, take MORE pictures than I probably need to.

This picture, however, was a must have. This is my daughter on her first day of her Senior Year. She's my baby. My baby is a Senior.

Her senior pictures came in today (well yesterday by the time this gets posted to my blog) ...almost made me cry. Anyway - here's the layout - credits, as always, are below.
