Not ONE, but TWO First Days of School this week! We officially have the whole fam at Highland Mill!

Miller is in Kindergarten & the best big brother ever!
Dori is in Prek and couldn’t be giddier about it.

This school has already brought our whole family friendships & community that you see on Disney Channel shows and say, “that can’t be real” ❤️

The end of an era for Dori Joy & our family as a whole!

We walked through the blue doors of @themothershipclt for Miller’s first day of school when Dori was 3 weeks old - she has literally spent her entire life in that magical place.

At the end of every year you see how much your little ones have changed but this year was more than a change, it was a transformation. She’s no longer my shy little Velcro toddler…. She is confident, funny, sassy, sweet & the most nurturing little mama in the world.

This photo dump could have gone on and on and on and on but I am trying to keep the tears to a healthy level!

We will forever be grateful for that school, the teachers, the directors and the best friends we made.🪐🚀
