School Time

I promise I didn't forget about you guys! Boy, have I been busy! Graydon started kindergarten, which he is so excited about and Colton is now three months old! I know, I can't believe it either. Time flies, that's for sure. I've been trying to get some pictures of the kids together but it has rained almost everyday and I really want some pretty outdoor shots. Before sweet Colton was born I used to carry that camera around practically all day and take shots of some of the most mundane things we did throughout the day. They actually look really cool because at the time they don't mean much but looking back at those kinds of pictures really flood you with memories. Well, since Colton has been born he hasn't let me do that. He is so sweet...and so demanding. It's not that he asks for much, he just wants to be held. All the time. I usually just throw on my carrier and he joins me in all my tasks throughout the day, but I've somehow managed to really hurt my back. I have absolutely no idea what I did, but it really hurts. Until my back is back to normal I've been carrying Colton everywhere in my arms. I know, I know, don't spoil him. If he isn't with me every second he cries his little eyes out and he'll only be this small for a very short time and then it's gone, so I might as well take it all in. So, back to my purpose of the blog today. I have the normal first day of school picture that every parent takes as their sweet babies become official "big kids" but I wanted to do something really unique. I wanted to do a time capsule with notes all about Graydon at the beginning of the school year so we could look over it at the end of the year to see how much he had changed and make it a little tradition. I had also thought about an interview at the beginning of the year and the end of the year, but I just really wanted something more unique that would be cool to keep out and be fun to look back on. I have to give credit to Pinterest and whoever originally thought it up, but someone was smart enough to combine a school picture with a shorter version of an interview. Immediately I thought of how cute that would be in a frame, so I did it! And it turned out so cute! I promise three month baby pictures are coming soon, but for now, here's the school photo I made!
