First, the traditional about-to-go-to-school-pose.

Here are two sisters who have spent almost every waking hour of the summer together.

Resulting in this…

Regardless of her sister’s outburst (“My Emmaaaaaa! I miss my Emma!”), Emma won’t be shaken. I had to suppress a laugh when Emma pulled a white rock out of her backpack…. a small token for her sister to remember her by. Emma sheds no tears. This kid is definitely happy to be back in school. I hope the joy lasts another 15 years or so.
