Big Man on Campus

Today marked Mitchell's first day of 5th grade, and final year at Tatanka Elementary School. Watch out BCMC, one year from today, Mitchell will be walking through the doors of the Buffalo middle school into a whole new world. But, for now, I'm sure he'll enjoy this last year as the most senior class at Tatanka Elementary. In honor of this "senior" year, here is a look back into the past 6 years... it's amazing to see how he's changed and grown.

1st Grade

2nd Grade

3rd Grade

4th Grade

And this morning... 5th Grade

And 5 years, and 2 little brothers later, what a young man he has grown to be. Such a wonderful role model for these little guys that will be so happy to see him when he gets home this afternoon.

Wow! Mitchell is sure not little any more- he looks like he's really tall! Has he passed you up yet, KO? 6th grade is junior high these days? how lucky!

I love Joel's bedhead. He's so photogenic.
