Smiles and Laughter

I don't remember what she was grinning about, but she was definitely up to something. Maybe she was just excited she beat her sister in some fantasy race she had concocted. Much to the surprise of her unwilling challenger.

First Day of School

Disclaimer: I'm realizing how out of my league I am when I submit photos to Raw(e). All of these ladies are so talented and professional. I'm still using my Canon digital camera I got for Christmas a few years ago. I don't think my pics will ever be as amazing as the others, but I love sharing snippets of my family's life one frame at a time.

This picture isn't anything extraordinary in the photographic sense. But it's the best one I took that day. It was my youngest's very first day of school. Ever. When it was all over she was so wiped out she just sat in the corner of the classroom crying. I know she'll love it soon. I think it was overwhelming. I mean, who wouldn't be exhausted? Three hours of new friends, new crafts, new rules. We'll try again on Monday.

And dang I love dressing them up for school. Their first day outfits were killer. :) They even made it back without juice stains or paint splotches on them. I might actually get more than 2 wears out of them.
