From time to time I try to share some photographs and stories from my personal life in my blog. I may shed a few tears over this one, but it is worth it. Eden Autry is my pride and joy. I could go on and on about how she can read at 4 years old, play the piano, quote whole chapters of Scripture and is almost as smart as your’s truly…but most of you who follow this blog know that already.
Eden has been stoked for weeks about starting Kindergarten (she’s super social and loves to learn) and the day finally came that we walked away from Stockton Christian School and left our daughter in the care of others. I got pretty choked up driving home to think about how fast she has grown up and how proud I am of her. She absolutely had a blast and as soon as she hopped in mommy’s car she was asking how many hours it was until she could go back. Awesome.
I’m glad I’ve taken time to make photographs of my children and family. I was looking through a few of them the other day and got kind of bummed out that I’m not in many of the photos. Duh. But then I started thinking about how I actually was “in” the photos. There is a piece of me in every click I make of the shutter and who knows where these photos will end up. I hope that some great great great grandkids one day will look back with appreciation at the family art that we created and smile. So here are some photos to document Eden’s first day of school.

not too stoked about getting her hair done.
