Kids New Pics

A couple weeks ago we went and took the kids pictures.  They needed new pictures really bad.  We went to a couple of different locations and got some really good pictures.  Easton had quite a few meltdowns and we had a hard time keeping him still long enough for the pictures but I'm happy with the way they turned out.  Of course I'm only half way done with the editing, so I'm only posting what I have done so far and I will post the others when I'm done.  It is going to be so hard to decide which ones I want to print and hang on the wall because there are quite a few to choose from.  How does one choose?

First Day of School

The girls started school last week.  I can't believe summer is already gone.  Now that Brynlie has started school I had them hold up signs in the pictures so I could remember what grade they were in.  I was so worried about them starting school.  Rylie has a new teacher that no one has heard of, so I've been nervous to see if she is any good.  Rylie seems to think she is nice.  Rylie has made a few new friends, but she still likes to play with her old friends.  She seems to like school a lot better than the previous years.
 I was super nervous about Brynlie starting school.  She doesn't like to listen to me very well and can't stay on task for very long so I thought her teacher was going to have a hard time with her.  You should see her in primary!  She is taking off her shoes, twirling, standing on her chair, I thought for sure she would be the same in school.
The night before school Brynlie was really nervous and had a hard time sleeping and had tummy aches.  When I took her into her classroom she asked me to help her find a spot to sit and then asked if I could stay.  I felt really horrible about leaving her.  This is my baby girl!  When I went to pick her up she ran to me and said " I love school!"  Then she asked if she could go the next day.  When I told her she only goes two days a week she said that it wasn't fair that Rylie got to go everyday.  I was worried about her being at school all day but she seemed to be adjusting really well with the long day.  I also found out that she is really good in class and does her work and is doing really well.  Nothing at all like Primary.  I shouldn't say I was surprised, but I was.  Hopefully the school year will continue to be a good one for my girls.
