This is a girl who has two older brothers. She is SMILING at the crawdad (sp?) Eric is holding up for her to look at.

I don't know where they get this. :) Sophie is on the left. Cousin Johnnie on the right. When together, they are joined at the hip.

Danny on his first day of fourth grade. He is so grown up! A college friend of ours told Danny he wished HIS mom had let him get cool glasses when HE was in fourth grade. We picked the frames out together. Danny liked the retro look. I liked the price. :) I think contacts may be on the horizon, though.
