Dylan started 4th grade today and Sam had her first day of middle school yesterday. (7th grade) She loved it. :clap_1: I'm doubting I'll get the same reaction from Dylan today.:roll:

Thanks, her first day was yesterday (they let the 7th graders go a day before everyone else) and then Mr OL took a another pic of them together today. Sam is counting down the days to get contacts. She's been in a nearsighted study the past 3 years and has been commited to glasses. The 3 years are up in the spring.

Very cute OC. Nice looking family.
They seem so much taller than their ages.
Is it just me or do kids seem bigger these days for their age? or am I just shrinking?

Yes, I noticed your daughter looks tall and long-legged! (That is a good thing.)

They look like keepers to me.
Hope they have a good year! Thanks for posting.

They are beautiful kids. And it is amazing how much they have changed
since you have been posting. We are watching each other's kids grow up! Very cool.

Ocean Lover, wow! Your kids have really shot up this summer. They're looking so grown-up. :clap_1:
Darlene is my middle name, not my nickname

Darlene he looks like you in this picture. (or is it just my bad eyes?)
He's a cutie, but he'd probably hate that phrase. How's football practice going this year for him?

WOW, OL....cute, cute kids you have there. And yes, they have shot up. Here is a picture of my son that was taken a few days before school started. The hair got cut the second week of school because football practice started. He hated to see it go, but I think he has gotten used to it now.
Great picture, Darlene, he's a good looking kid! I like the long hair. Dylan got his cut too. It's probably the shortest it's been for a while. I love the surfer boy look.
Thanks everyone for your nice comments, they really are great kids. We are blessed. Sam has almost caught up with me in height. She's 5'6". I'm 5'8" and Mr OL is 6'4" so slim chance of having shortys here.

Her ballet teacher loves her legs! We are so excited, she has an appointment to get fitted for her pointe shoes tomorrow. She has worked especially hard this summer and has been working towards this goal since third grade. :clap_1:

Ballet! Such hard work, and such an achievement. Oh my poor toes hurt just thinking of it. Go Sam!

He's cute KD.
When I saw that pic it reminded me of my hubby when he was that age. Same color hair and cut. :clap_1: Amazing how kids can change so much in s ahort time. I saw my brohter-in-laws neice last weekend, and I see her 3 -4 x a year, and I walked right by her. :shock: The braces were offf, she was wearing contacts and some makeup (15 yrs) and fadish clothes. Not to mention she had grown in the chest too. I just saw her at Xmas, and she didn't look anything like that.

So many quit before they make it to that point (no pun intended). I think I know how excited she must be and how proud you all must be too!
