Back to School, 2015 Edition

After a two week strike, school finally started in the middle of September– more than a month and a half after some other parts of the country! Jonah entered 7th grade, Owen started 6th grade, and Kate was all alone at View Ridge, going into 3rd grade.

Owen got to take two first day pictures, as the sixth graders at Eckstein had a special orientation day. Otherwise it is just the normal set of “parents embarrassing their kids again on the first day of school” pics.

Clowning Around

One of my favorite things to do is to take series of pictures of the kids clowning around. I almost never get one “good” picture- where all three are looking at the camera, there are no goofy expressions and so on, but the ensemble captures the general air of merriment they often have together. This particular series was taken right before Eddy and the kids left for France.
