Anna's homework assignment this week is to bring in a picture of her family, to add to her kindergarten memory book. I sat down and realized that we haven't taken a picture of us, as a family, since last summer! Well, unless you count our 2011 Christmas card photo in which Scott appears via Facetime on the iPad.
This morning I had my mom snap a quick photo of us on the patio before we scattered for work, school, and CA (she was just passing through -- stayed the night last night on her way home from visiting grandpa Blain in Utah).
So I thought I'd share a little snippet about each of us, in our world today:
Payton: The good quotes just keep on coming. This morning while watching tv he said, "When my wife has a baby do I have to watch?"
Conner: He was awesome in his class play today. He got into it with lots of emotion while the other kids did the typical smile & giggle because I'm embarrassed and on stage act. Afterwards a couple parents (who we don't know at all) told him he did a good job. He felt very proud.
Scott: He's preparing to take Conner on a scout campout. Which is tricky when all your camping gear is buried in storage. Oops. Should have put some orange duct tape on those boxes.
Anna: After lunch she wanted to watch a movie. So she popped in Star Wars Episode II. Each day this week it has been a different Star Wars movie. Her dad would be so proud.
Shannon: I have a love/hate relationship with Target. I go inside with a small list (cream cheese, socks, razors) and somehow they convince me that I need a woven tray, new essie nail polish , and kitchen towels. Resistance is futile.
