First day of school -- again!

Kira starts fifth grade today. Very cute!

And her shoes and laces are trendy, too!

Austen starts his senior year in high school today; Parker starts his freshman year. Where did time go, anyway??

Austen REALLY didn't want his photo taken, so posting this one is his penalty for non-cooperation! This is a good one of Parker!!

Memorable days

Anne's surgery was on August 5, and she came home from the hospital today. She's very happy to be home, and her family is happy to have her back, too.

Thanks to all our family and friends who kept Anne in their thoughts and prayers. =)

Here are a couple of photos of Kira, modeling some of her new school clothes for her mom! What a darling girl!!

A Simone painting!

Robert sent this in email today. They are in Aix-en-Provence this month, and Simone has been painting! How marvelous!!



UPDATE: And here's her second painting - or at least the second that Robert emailed me on August 11th!
