Pretty pictures

Here are a few pictures I took of the girls one day when they were being particularly cute... at least until I put the camera away, and then everything went to pot. 

Just kidding, sort of.

Life lately

 Just a few things that we've been up to lately...

Charlotte and Sydney started 4th and 2nd grade at their new school.

Shelby hosted a tea party. 

Charlotte went rock star.

Nim had an exciting adventure one night after she escaped her cage.  We found her the next morning curled up in a corner, sleeping, but who knows what shenanigans she got into during the night.

We had a very cool full rainbow one evening after a storm.

If you look very closely to the right of and above the rainbow, you can see that it was actually a double rainbow.  Double cool.

Charlotte made a really great project for school, it's an "all about me" poster that will hang in the hall at school for Open House.  These are a few of her favorite things.

Posed for lame photos for Mom.

Yes, we jumped ship.  We traded our black and purple for black and gold. 

Soccer, of course.

Sydney had to strike a pose at the zoo.

And finally, just for fun, contrast 2012...

with 2008.  Awww.
