A junior!!!

Today is Avery's first day of his Junior year in High School! Can't you see how thrilled he is?? I told him to have a good day and he said, "I don't think so, but anything is possible." Ok . . . Big sigh . . . Goober!

I think sometimes kids, (I know I was guilty when I was in high school) forget that this high school experience should be fun and one of the best of their lives . . . But you can't tell that to them . . . cuz remember, they KNOW EVERYTHING!

I just wish I really was as smart as I THOUGHT I was when I was a teenager.

Avery going out to his car to go to school!Avery flipping me off because I continued to take pictures of him even after he told me not to. Oh well . . . . Alex's always used to flip me off for taking pictures too . . . And now he is fabulous! So there is hope for Avery! Pulling out of the garage!Getting ready to go! I didn't chase him down the street . . . that will be next year when he's a senior . . . this is the last of my babies . . . it's hard to see them grow up . . . but as they have gotten older, things have calmed down a lot . . . And that is nice.

Avery has always been my hardest child . . . there are days when we would like to wring each others necks, but as a lot of mothers and children, we take a deep breath and turn the tv up loud so that we can't hear the other one talking any more.

I love my boy . . . I hope he has a fantastic year!
