I was permitted maybe 20 seconds to take a picture this morning--but only because I begged (please Nu, it's the last first day of school!)! So I don't have any pics in which Max and Huck aren't blurry. But look at our Nu! All tall and shiny and ready!
After I posted on FB, I watched the memories roll in: the friend who threw my bridal shower and was Nu's first visitor, Nu's daycare provider, my aunts, grade school friends, old neighbors... the sweet, earnest suggestions from the young friends who used to be my students...
People are such a blessing in my life.
Nu had a good first day: they attended the half-day of school, went out to lunch with friends, came home to veggie upma, and opened their back-to-school presents. (At and I found some tees we thought they'd like when we went thrifting last week, so with some new notebooks, a calendar, a copy of Ross Gay's Book of Delights, a handful of study snacks, and their six-month supply of contacts that just came in, there was plenty for them to unbox.)
Pic: Screengrab from my FB post about Nu's first day as an H.S. senior. That's a lot of "likes" and comments, but please note at least four of those comments are just from my mom! lol

Nu!!!! I'm so glad they posed for a photo - the last first day! It's an important milestone! I hope they have the best senior year!
Good Luck
The last first day! It brought tears to my eyes! Are you sad, or more excited for things to come? I hope Nu has an amazing senior year!
Wishing Nu a super senior year. It seems like I was in your shoes just yesterday but I guess it was a year ago. (In a way that's good. Senior year probably seemed to go quickly because it was so much better than junior year.)
Senior year is so special. I hope Nu's is wonderful from start to finish. Our kids pass by so many milestones, and they all seem to happen so quickly! I wonder if they feel that speed at any point in their lives as well.
Thanks, Nicole! It does feel so momentous!
Thanks :)
Thanks, Jenny... I'm mostly excited... When I'm nostalgic it is for when *both* kids were home... and I think I know that's not going to happen :)
Thanks, Steph. Fingers crossed that senior year goes by smoothly for Nu too.
Thanks, Nance! You know--I never thought of that before! Adulthood doesn't come with pre-prepped with the same sort of annual calibration... wow
Last first day!! What a milestone.
Like FOREVER! I don't think you're ready for it, and thankfully you don't have to be.
