RIP Coolpix L22

Last week I let Maggie use my camera to take some photos. She got a good one of her trucks and giraffes.

Camera Dropper - AKA Maggie

Last shot before Maggie dropped the camera on the bathroom counter. Moral of the story; don't let your 3 year old play with your camera even if it buys you 10 minutes of peace to do a task that you really needed to get done, but can't remember what it was now.

Old Dog

Libby turns 9 this month. I don't know her exact birthday so we celebrate it on the first day of fall. She has started to slow down a bit, but senior food and a daily glucosamine vitamin seem to help.

Daisy has kept us busy this summer. She got sprayed by skunks three times. She does not like the camera. I think Maggie chased her with it one too many times.

Jon got back from Albany, New York last night. Jon stayed at the Stockade Inn and was there training for GE Global Research. The girls are glad to have him home and have kept him busy playing.

Maggie's First Day at First Friends

Maggie had a wonderful first day of preschool today. She was very excited to go. So excited that she woke up at 6:30 and shouted to the world, "I get to go to school today!!!" At school there were only two other students in the class. 3 more are supposed to start later in the month.

Since we were up early, we had time to do a fancy braid. Maggie wanted to make sure everone saw it and her backpack. She didn't want a new one, instead she is using the one Lucy had for preschool.

Maggie took this picture of Lucy drinking her morning cup of apple juice. She is settling nicely into first grade. They are still getting used to attending a full day, reviewing letters and other kindergarten basics and learning the routine and rules.

The girls singing, "School!" Maggie said she sang 5 songs at school today. The friend Song, ABCs, Open Them Shut Them, Itsy Bitsy Spider, and The Goodbye Song. Maggie really likes singing and was happy that the teacher played the Piano. Maggie said her favorite part about school was the slide (Ms. Bosaki went down too), singing, All of it!!!!

Wow...they sure are colorful.
