Oh, the Places You'll Go!
~Dr. Seuss
Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.
You'll look up and down streets. Look 'em over with care.
About some you will say, "I don't choose to go there."
With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet,
you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street.
And you may not find any
you'll want to go down.
In that case, of course,
you'll head straight out of town.
It's opener there
in the wide open air.
Out there things can happen
and frequently do
to people as brainy
and footsy as you.
And when things start to happen,
don't worry. Don't stew.
Just go right along.
You'll start happening too.
OH!
THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!
...You'll get mixed up, of course,
as you already know.
You'll get mixed up
with many strange birds as you go.
So be sure when you step.
Step with care and great tact
and remember that Life's
a Great Balancing Act.
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot with your left.
And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)
KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!
So...
be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray
or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea,
you're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.

Love that - she looks so happy!
I so miss the first day of school pics. The last ones I took a couple of years ago were more like "get-out-of-here-with-that-camera-Mom-you're-embarrassing-me" scowls so I abandoned the project. This year I was already at work when my "young 'uns" got themselves out of bed and ready for school on their own . Wishing Cam a wonderful year of learning and friendship.
Oh, and I love your "new" look. It's been a while since I've been by : )
Still sporting the hair wrap from the cruise, huh? Awesome! I love the outfit too!
I miss you girl! I think I owe you an email. LOL
(I want to hear about Cam's first day!)
Love that toothless smile. She looks soooo happy!
Look at miss sassy pants! So pretty! Happy first day!
I love this! So beautiful! Look at that smile! She is going places! What a great personality!

I love this and your pictures are beautiful as always! Look at her cute outfit and hair. You can tell she is so excited to go to school! I pray that this is a great school year for her. Your baby is not so little anymore eh. Sigh;0
Great pics and post as always Carol! I remember the first day I dropped Caleb off for kindergarten...it was way more difficult on me than him! lol
Cam is a very smart and independent little girl and she will do great! You have good reason to be proud! :)
