First Day/Week of School 2008

It was Ursula's first day of Kindergarten and Calista's first week.

Ursula picked out the headband and just had to wear it... but, didn't want me to tie it in the back... just wear the ribbon fall on her shoulders :)

Calista's in 4th grade this year... tons of books...

Wyatt had to get in the picture too... 'cheese me'... lol He's eating his breakfast... a pb&j sandwich. I didn't wake him up until right before we had to leave.
Ursula in her own desk :D The kids were asked if they could find their desks... she, of course, found hers :)

Calista after coming home from school... same day :D

I feel bad because I forgot to bring my camera the first day of school for her this year!!! I had to bring both girls... Ursula had an hour of testing... and I guess I just was so occupied with making sure we had all their supplies together that bringing a camera just slipped my mind!

Calista on March 21st, 2008

I was in a picture taking mood:D
Ursula declared that she didn't want to take any... so, I didn't take any of her... well, I took one of her... not so great... she was squinting because of the sun and had her arms covering most or half of her face.

Anyways... here's my photogenic child, Calista :)
I enjoy taking her pictures because she usually listens. She'll hold her head where I put it or where I tell her to put it/look.
Cropped and in Sepia of above picture:

Notice the band-aid on her forehead? yeah... She busted her head coming the wrong way down off of the bunk bed.

And just think... how much better pictures I can take with a working camera... :D
Yes, I'm still using the one with no flash :((
So, all outside pictures and no inside candid ones... or sweet, sleeping ones...
