Awwwww.  They are so cute together sometimes.

I mean, REALLY cute.

It really is heartwarming to see Rerun be a protective big brother.

I’ve had a lot of people asking about Tad’s height.  So I thought it would be fun to demonstrate just how much he has shot up since the beginning of middle school.  Good thing I always take the first day of school picture in the same spot…

Here’s 6th grade…

Here’s 7th grade…

And here’s 8th grade…

It’s like we put the boy into a stretching machine, and he was already too skinny to begin with!

Hello, Ane, high school sophomore!

Thanks to swim practice, these pictures were taken the night before. (I won’t tell if you won’t tell.)

And here’s Tad, eighth grader!

And for all those asking… YES WE FEED HIM.  A LOT.  It’s not my fault he has almost no body fat.

Tad currently measures 5 feet 5.5 inches, for those who are wondering how tall he actually is.  He is taller than both me and Ane (which annoys her).

The Webmaster dropped Ane off at school this morning after swim practice, which led her to text me later, “what is my bus number?”  I guess when you don’t ride it in the morning, you don’t know which one to ride on the way home…

Due to the district’s weird scheduling, the teenagers won’t start school until tomorrow.  Tad is currently relishing his chance to sleep in while his little brothers have to go to school.

Presenting… Thumper, first grader!

He was definitely not into smiling for the camera this year.

However, Rerun, fourth grader, was alllllll about the cheesy smiles.

I still can’t believe Rerun is in fourth grade!  Mostly because if he’s not careful, Thumper will catch him in height.

However, this picture at the bus stop was extraordinarily cute of the two boys.

Tomorrow, they all go to school!
