So, another school year has started and Laura showed me how to scan pictures into the computer - so I thought I'd show you the kids' school pictures from both last year and this year - because I can and because it's fun to see the growth and changes a year can make.
So, first up is Audrey. Even though she isn't in school yet - it's fun to have pictures taken the same time the big kids do. Last year she did not like anyone to touch her outside of our family, so there is a tear in her eye. This year she just loves to have her picture taken - so she cooperated very well.
It's really hard to believe that these pictures are just a year apart. More teeth, more hair, and so much growth. She certainly is a cutie though.
and now.......Harve!
Here we see Harve sporting his shark tooth necklace that Dayle and Charnae brought back from their honeymoon for him.
Harve has had a lot of growth on the inside and on the outside. He is more eager to share, and he helps the other children in his class and at home.
Christian has three pictures. Last yeaer (Kindergarten) he had his picture taken in the red shirt and when it came back it looked like chalk lines had been drawn on his forehead and so we had retakes. In the meantime the photographer had the lines digitally removed and we ended up with two sets of pictures.
Christian also has grown in many areas. He is handling new situations with more ease and he eats as much as an adult and the length of his feet and legs prove it.
Westley also had two pictures taken last year. I only have one of them handy. His first picture came back with peanutbutter and jam on both cheeks. We're not sure why no one noticed it - not his teacher, the photographer, the lady that took the money nor the photographers assistant - but we did and had retakes done. I think we have one little picture from that first one- I'll have to look for it.
In Westley's 2nd grade picture he is missing his two front teeth. And we were surprised that they allowed him to have his picture with his hat on-but he loves wearing hats and things, so we're glad they did. Westley's teachers love that he is such a good listener. He excels in math and enjoys reading non-fiction.
Brok gets two pictures for each year because one is a football picture and one is a school picture - although in 6th grade they look a lot alike.
Brok hurt his shoulder in preseason training so he had to sit out on their first couple of games. He said it was alright, because he could see what the coaches were trying to tell the boys, so when he was able to play he could listen better. His team didn't do well, only winning two games, but Brok caught an interseption on the 99 yard line and ran it for the only touchdown (his team made) of the game.
This year on the other hand, his team was undefeated and won the Super Bowl as well. They had two very close games in the regular season and the play-offs, but they won in the end. Brok again made a touchdown, this time with the game kick-off.
Brok's teachers all love him and so do his home teaching families - of course we do too.
Laura is a freshman at Colorado Mesa University this year - so the above are some of her senior pictures.
More on school later.
Bye
