Yes, ladies and gentlemen...our very own, cute as a button...Steven Curtis Chapman. With the new school year starting I thought it appropriate to share this sweet picture. Looks like Steven picked flowers for his very first 1st Grade Teacher! He's just such a thoughtful, considerate lad. I mean, come on...look at that grin. I think now that I have my own little girl, pictures like this have so much more meaning. Something I just HAD to share today :)
(btw...you'll get a chuckle out of knowing that Steven himself pointed out the neatly folded up cuffs on his pants!! And, HE picked the flowers himself out of the garden for his teacher. I mean it just doesn't get any better!)
Treasure the FIRSTS...
Absolutely love it!!!!!!!!!Picked flowers in his hand and what an adorable photo.
So glad you posted this,how awesome.All dressed up,ready for school,flowers and all.How splendid.
And yes,with you having a little girl,take lot's of photos,they do have so much meaning.
Love ya girl,also glad you had a great birthday.
take care.

What a sweet, sweet picture! My own little boy will be starting first grade in a few weeks....I hope he will be as thoughtful toward his teacher!

Those first day of school pictures are certainly some of the best!! Do you think he was trying to get on the teacher's good side???
Blessings,
