1st Day of Kindergarten

No more lazy mornings...

Time for a healthy breakfast

with a special treat, "Sunny D"

with a whopping 5% juice.

Searching for nature treasures in the front yard.

Scooter riding while we hang out in the driveway for the bus.

The classic "backpack first-day" shot

Lined up with the kids and checking for his bus pass.

Big Mitchell getting on the bus-leaving home to change the world- and begin the education to be a zookeeper!

(Mom didn't cry until he stepped on, but mourned all day.)

Tiny sliver of summer left

Matt and our Chinese Long Noodle Beans. Very interesting veggie. They are super long, cook up black (looks pretty gross) and don't really taste very good either. So, enjoy the pic- I doubt we'll grow them next year

Mitch, Griff, Andie and Emmie all went to bible school, 'Avalanche Ranch' cowboy-themed. They all loved it.. Here are some pics from their performance last Sunday!

Marin discovered the coziness of Griff's beanbag chair.

Workin' on her pushups- would probably be easier if she'd use her arms.. but hey.

Adorable little bath baby- So fun that she giggles and is a tad bit ticklish on her ribs now!

Biggest thing in her life: CEREAL! Only the 2nd day trying it - she seemed to do MUCH better today- recognizing her spoon and bib. The boys think it's pretty fun to watch her and cheer her on.
