I was a slacker and forgot my camera on the actual 1st day of school, so this picture is from the 1st week of
1st Grade. Brooklynn LOVES her teacher and is happy to be back in school...although, homework became really old, really fast. :)
Izzy misses "Brookin" during the day but has still found ways to amuse herself. She loves hanging out in the dryer...which used to be one of my favorite spots when I was her age. I was inspired by Jami and Caymbree and decided to see if Izzy would let me do "piggys" in her hair. Well, she didn't LOVE it at first but when she saw that big-sissy kept her pig-tails in, she decided not to rip them out. She actually kept them in all through church, but as soon as we got home...away they went. Oh well, we'll keep trying.
Moments like these make it all worth while!
We visited the Smokies again this year and celebrated Lorna's birthday while there. Tara Lynn decorated a beautiful cake. Almost too pretty to eat...almost. :)
The river was very, very cold this year and very deep due to all the rain we've had.
Izzy was dangerously-fearless, as usual, while Brooklynn played safely on the shoreline. It is so weird how different they are from each other, and yet, so alike in many ways.
How about this gorgeous lady??!! Isn't she cute??!!
