First day of.......crying??

The long anticipated (read: dreaded) day has finally arrived! Blake had his first day of Kindergarten (and also his first full week, but I've been kinda busy.) I didn't cry. At least not on the outside. Definitely crying on the inside. Blake was pretty excited, although he now thinks he has to have pancakes every day. The first day he said he couldn't remember anything about it, the second day he remembered one thing (chocolate milk) and by the end of the week he couldn't stop telling me about all the cool things they did that day (and he even started remembering some of the other kids names!) About that crying thing, I am sure that any body language specialist could tell you from this photo:

that I am actually hanging on for dear life to my firstborn son, and that he feels the need to stand in my circle of personal space for protection. Just kidding. Not really, though.

Learning.....

We recently went to Austin for a break. A break from what I don't know. My friend was trying to teach me all the great things about photography, and well, let's just say I am a slow learner! To prove my point, I have included in the video pictures she took and pictures I took....can you guess who's are who's?

We had fun messing around. And I had to include the shot of Noah - it was too good! Thanks to Nicole and Michael for letting us trash their home and mess up their schedules! Love you guys!
