what a difference a year makes

The boys are growing up.  So fast.  Right before our eyes.  I guess, it's a fact I can no longer deny.

Henry grew three inches July 2011 to July 2012.

Oliver grew just under two inches summer to summer.

In one short week, they will both be walking out the door at the same time to catch the bus to middle school.  I've never been one to cry at milestones, but somehow this year of changes is making it a little more difficult to ignore that they're not my little boys anymore.
