Falling into the Better Late Than Never category, here are this year’s entries for the kids’ “first day of school” photos. For the 2009 edition, Matthew started 5th grade, and Melissa started 6th grade, aka, Middle School!
The babies, they are a-gettin’ big!

Well, if there’s anything I’ve learned over my 40+ years on this Earth, it’s this: when bigsis wants & expects something to be done, it better get done. And quick.
In the spirit of honoring that hard-earned knowledge, I will now make sure that I keep my dear, sweet, gentle, loving bigsis happy by getting some photos up from my #1 son’s recent 9th birthday, per bigsis’s Godmotherly request. (check out the first comment on the post immediately preceding this one… LOL!)
For good measure I’ve also thrown in a few photos of Holly Jean, who is now a robust 7 months old, 15 pounds, and recently spayed. Only a month after it was initially scheduled, as the little dickens went into heat the day before we were scheduled to take her into get spayed the first time. Seems she was precociously early in starting that, from what the Vet told us, anyway, so we got the pleasure of making sure she kept a little denim diaper properly fastened to her tiny butt for about two weeks or so. It did get her a new nickname, though, as she became forever known as our little “attack baboon”. 
The last thumbnail/photo below is specifically for bigsis, as it’s of our parents. I know it’s a pretty bad photo, but it was kind of shadowy in the garage, and (as was the case with all of the pics) I’m still getting the hang of working with the ins-and-outs of the camera in the new BlackBerry. Anyhoo, he’s getting ready to give her a backrub. LOL!
Just click on a thumbnail & you’ll get sent to a bigger version over at Flickr…
