First grade and many other things

This is an incredibly haphazard post but here goes...

The Hendrix family reunion 2011~ Dana, Indiana. :-)

It's picture time again. The summer heat is letting up which makes for a better time taking outdoor shots. Although you wouldn't have known it on the day this picture was taken. The boys did great in the heat. How cute are these four?

Does anyone else remember this girl 4 years old and telling us all what the correct doctrinal terms were in Sunday school? :-)

She's considering medical school this fall!!

Compared to last year, the first day of first grade was a total piece of cake. John Patrick was excited to be a big kid and stay for lunch. I don't think he had thought much past lunch though. :-) We've all learned a lot in the last year and although we're still exhausted, I'm hopeful. Things seem like a smoother transition this time.

Here, Aunt Kuk, is the picture you wanted me to try. She really just wanted to keep kissing the baby.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people think flying is a good reason to wear everything from spandex to stilettos. And sometimes both at the same time. I'll admit I walk through the airport with my mouth open like a cod fish. (name that movie?)

Then there's this girl... What uuuuuup mommy!

Who lets their daughter out with ruffles on her tushy anyway!?
