Hooray For Kindergarten!
Anda started kindergarten this past week!
Oh, I guess that picture is a little outdated.
Hm, that one too.
And that.
And that.
And that.
Even that.
Where did my baby go! Oh, that's right, to kindergarten.
She loves it, of course. It's nonstop fun and friends and learning, which is exactly what she needs. We are all very excited for this new phase--her especially. Hooray for kindergarten!

Ben's Blessing
Afterward, everyone was hungry and in a hurry to get traveling home, so I took 0 pictures that day, but I tried to at least get a few of him in his outfit later.
What a handsome fella!
Lilah's Shiner
Lilah ran into a table. Whoops.
She got over it quickly, healed up fine, and is right back to running around like a crazy person. So...lesson not learned, I guess. But at least she's having fun.
