First day o' school

(Hooray for digital cameras...this year you'll see first day of school photos before January!)
Just thought I'd send along the traditional and tolerated first day of school photos. Much excitement and adrenaline all around...I think everyone woke up at least a half hour before they had to.


Lauren: preoccupied with wearing just the right thing ("I just realized that I need to look like I didn't try too hard but still look cool"...ah, middle school) and broke a record by 8 a.m., already phoning me from school to bring some forgotten money.





Maddy: aiming for "sporty girl" comfort in t-shirt and shorts, painstakingly prepared her lunch and snack last night and slept in the longest this morning.

Sam: wearing summer clothes & no new school clothes at all, sporting a fresh-cut hair trim, and had his backpack on, ready to go at least an hour before the bus came. The bunch of them will home in an hour or so.

I have to admit I miss them today! (Although I did get many errands done today it is .) It's a delicious, warm-with-a bit-of-breeze day here and I've just visited my favorite farm stand...gorgeous peaches, raspberries, tomatoes, and apples. Don't you love September?
