Back to School

Back to school pic time. One of the photographers here in town, Richard Carlson, does a great job of coaxing real smiles out of the girls! Sigh--the girls are growing up. Unfortunately, here's photographic proof. Annika (4th grade), Lauren (2nd grade)

Emily (K), Megan (preschool)

And now, for some random summer memories...

Megan on the train ride at the county fair. She got to be the engineer, a task she took very seriously!

Another self portrait of Emily. We have a TON of these!

 An endearing pic of Meg on her first day of school for preschool-4s. Next year--kindergarten!

Lauren felt it was a good idea to practice safe corn eating by 

wearing protective eyewear--avoid those juices!

Annika's first day of school

Lauren and Em's first day of school (Emily's first real day of real school ever!) 

This was a fun project! We went looking for alternative "letters" we could use for Cousin Raegan's birthday card. Here's the end result!

Cool silhouette shot at a friend's wedding in June.

Lauren's 8th birthday cake--so fun! And extremely sweet (like 2 inches of frosting!)

Saw Zoltar at Buffalo Phil's in the Dells. Nope, didn't make any wishes! [Can you guess the allusion? Think Big!]

Meg and I got to spend some time at my Uncle Brian's house a few weeks ago, just before he passed away on October 12, 2012. On our way home, we stopped at Buffalo Phil's where they have Thomas the Tank Engine deliver the food. Meg and I had fun!
