Marley's first day of school - she had a great day but did not want her picture taken!

Olympus digital camera

Up at 5:30am and eating an apple for the first day of school.

I am a puddle today.

I didn't get to take her to her first day. Really kinda broke my heart. 8:30 came and I started crying my keyboard. So, I snapped off a picture in my kitchen at 6:30am before we took off for the day. Pissed I had to use my flash. I hate that.

We sent the girls to the public school here in Sabilito, Costa Rica for a few months.. They loved it :)

first day of school

Cutest outfit EVER! And at the end of the day, she said it was "the perfect day." Success!

Hurrah.

And leaves Julie hanging miway through a high five. Cold.

Long day, everyone is really tired, planned a big dinner but had refreshments with leftover pizza instead. Everyone was in bed very early. One day down, 179 to go!

OMG!! She's in 7th GRADE!!!

First day of school!!

Amanda's first day of school picture from 2009. This was taken pretty early in the morning. It was still dark outside so we had to take this in the kitchen. How did she get to be this big?
