First: We have lambs!
Two very healthy ewe lambs.
The kids came home from school with these t-shirts this week.
It was a rather hectic year, with all the construction, moving schools, new teachers, etc.
Those were the shirts for the elementary field day this year, a day much anticipated by Poppy and her only brother still in elementary school.
Me and my finger waiting on the running events to start.
About two minutes after I took that photo, Poppy fell at full speed while running the 50-yard dash*. She was wearing shorts, and she absolutely shredded her knee on the rough track. It was ugly. She missed out on the sack race and the tug of war, although she did manage to do the egg and spoon race, since that's mostly walking.
The next day, her class went on a field trip. She was not in good shape when she got up in the morning. We had to soak her gauze bandage off, and she couldn't walk very well because she couldn't really bend her knee.
The place they went for their field trip had a climbing wall, which she was greatly looking forward to. I had told her she probably wouldn't be able to climb, though, because of her knee.
I should have known better. A. was there because he drove the activity bus, and he sent me this photo.
She wasn't quite tall enough to reach the bell in the middle at the top, but she almost made it.
Mine was sad.
And last, I found some purple flowers outside church to add to the yellow flowers that were already there.
A lot healthier than the peony.
There you have it! My life, snapshotted.
* She was winning, too. Alas for short-lived glory.
