Dear Sage, This photo was taken on the last day of school. I waited until the end of the day to take it, so you'd have your yearbook. You look amazing, and incredibly grown up. Looking back at the very first photo, I can't believe how much you've changed. I... Continue reading

Dear Sage, I can hardly believe I've already done this 176 times before. I thought taking the photos would give me a way to keep hold of the time as it flew past, but it hasn't. I have the amazing memories we've created working on this project together, and I... Continue reading

Dear Sage, Today was awards day for the year. You got another perfect attendance award. You don't get them every year, but you've gotten them more often than not. I know there are days you'd rather stay home, but unless you are very sick, or can't walk, it's my belief... Continue reading

Dear Sage, The last week of school is usually full of fun, and not caring any more. Unfortunately, in middle school there are still assignments due, and at least one test this week. You also have obligations to finish up for the year, outside of school. You're learning that growing... Continue reading

Dear Sage, Today was the school day kids look forward to all year, Field Day. You're wearing gym shorts, and your Field Day t-shirt. You also have a brand new red feather in your hair. You changed it from the grey one you've had for a while, which didn't show... Continue reading

Dear Sage, Today was "Dress Your Best" day. We had a pretty dress picked out for you to wear, but you got up in the morning and had a better idea. You decided to wear what you normally would wear, and then put a tie on with it. You have... Continue reading

Dear Sage, It was Decades day. You and I dug some things out of your closet, and you did the 60's. Luckily, you had some 60's things left from your project at the end of last year. You wore the same skirt almost a year ago. How much you've grown... Continue reading

Dear Sage, Today was hero day. You were a sheriff. You wore the badge, but the bandana was only for the picture, since they aren't allowed at school. People dressed up as lots of different things. There were lots of heroes, from superheroes, to every day heroes. I'm not sure... Continue reading

Dear Sage, Today was slippers day. You don't have any slippers that fit any more, so you wore mine. I'm still getting used to you borrowing things from me. Not just that they fit, but that you want to wear them. Whether it's my jewelry, or my shoes, it always... Continue reading

Dear Sage, I'm glad you're still focused on school, even though summer is so close. I know that's very difficult. You told me the other day, you're working hard on bringing your math grade up a little more (your only B), and not letting your other grades (all A's) slip,... Continue reading

Dear Sage, Tomorrow is the last day to have out library books from school. I decided it would be a good time for you to get a library card for the public library. You were very excited about the idea of having your own library card. You asked me how... Continue reading

Dear Sage, Lately, you've been riding your bike around the neighborhood after dinner. You usually go to your friends houses, to see who can play for a little while. You have a little bag for your phone. You usually throw in your favorite stuffed animal, and a baseball cap for... Continue reading

Dear Sage, You look great in your gym clothes, but I'm going to make a special effort to take pictures in the morning for these last two weeks. The clothes you wear to school reflect your own personality and style more than ever, and I want to record that these... Continue reading

Dear Sage, A couple of days ago, we went to the store so you could get a dress for your flute recital. You needed a new dress because there is not much need for you to wear fancy dresses, and whenever we do get one, you outgrow it quickly. So,... Continue reading

Dear Sage, It was haircut time again. It's hard to believe you're the same person who hated the idea of trimming even half an inch. You sure do get annoyed when your hair starts getting longer now. I'm glad you like your new hairstyle, though we can't really call it... Continue reading

Dear Sage, Your 'take the picture already' look is one we haven't seen in a while. Maybe I shouldn't enjoy when you get impatient with me so much, but I can't help it. It amuses me, and sometimes I find it hard not to laugh. I know I shouldn't, but... Continue reading

Dear Sage, You had the rest of your braces put on today. You're not particularly happy about that, but I don't really blame you. It wouldn't be my favorite thing either. The good news is, you'll be done with them before you get to high school. I promise it's a... Continue reading

Dear Sage, You're wearing one of the pairs of dress shoes I got you for your band concert, and flute recital. I also got you a pair of basic black pumps. Since many of the girls wore (their mother's) pumps at the last concert, I wasn't sure which you'd like... Continue reading

Dear Sage, Lately, you've been wanting to take funny or silly photos after we take the photo for the day. I love your sense of humor, so it's always fun to see what you come up with next. I've kept all the silly photos, along with the rest. I've been... Continue reading

Dear Sage, I absolutely love your red boots. A white t-shirt, blue jeans, and your red boots is just about the perfect look for you, I think. You look amazing. All that's missing is an awesome hat, but it's totally not necessary. The thing I like most about this photo... Continue reading

Dear Sage, Here you are at day 158. It is so hard to believe there are only twenty school days left of sixth grade. In twenty more days, you'll be a seventh grader. I'm going to try really hard not to make these last twenty days nothing but a count... Continue reading

Dear Sage, You've made a lot of friends this year, and gotten closer with the friends you already had. You've also lost some friends, and some people you thought were friends, but weren't really. This is a difficult age for friendships, especially with other girls. This is the age when... Continue reading

Dear Sage, There's a note on your hand. It's a reminder to bring a paper bag and crayons to school. You've started writing notes on your hand, when you need to remember something. You used to write them in your agenda, but that didn't always work. So, now you write... Continue reading

Dear Sage, We went to the Big Shanty Festival over the weekend. We had a great time, even if you ended up not being able to go on the hamster balls, bungee jump, slides, and bounce houses this time. I know those are some of your favorite things to do... Continue reading

Dear Sage, The best thing about testing week is no homework. You and I agree 100% on that. You like having more free time. I like how much more relaxed the evenings are without the stress of homework. Even if you only have an hour or two of homework, that's... Continue reading
