Hubbub be thwarted!

Yeah, so with all the packing and cleaning and bears and Gubernatorial VP's and hunting and moving, I completely zoinked on posting some pictures of Gwen's first day of school. She is at ABC Preschool again this fall, so there are some familiar faces and some new ones too. She seems to be loving it so far (after two days), but here she is last week on her very first day. Amelia seems kind of thrilled to see her big sis go off for the morning:

Ok, here's one of my big girl all by herself at our current dwelling. (Thanks to Brooke and Crystal for the lovely raincoat; we use it a lot!) Say "cheese"!Wait a minute... Let's get a close-up of that face, shall we? What does this look say to you?

Pensive? Coy? Exhausted? Resigned? Whatever that look is, I have a feeling it's being groomed to perfection and that I will see it often over the next 15 years or so. Nonetheless, she was a bit more spry and perky once we actually got to the school:
We have a great group of kids and parents this year and some wonderful teachers that we feel blessed to have working with Gwen. Here's to a great school year for all of you, too!
