First Day of School

I know I am a little late at posting these pictures, but things are very busy with the new job and getting adjusted to full-time, etc. James is in 4th grade now and Abbie is in 1st. Both kids had a wonderful first day and for Abbie this was BIG! She has had huge anxiousity about going to school since the end of last year. We are so thankful and blessed with two amazing teachers for our kids this year. Thank you to Grandma Beckie for James studdly outfit. Thank you to Grandma Willa for Abbie's adorable first day look, even the backpack. I am very proud to have such great kids that love school and are eager to learn.4th grader!

1st grader, if you can't tell, the shirt, headband, skirt, and schools are silver sparkles!

Getting set together. James even helped Abbie to class on the first day. What a great brother!

Deception Pass - Audrie

Audrie keeps us on our toes, she is always trying to keep up with the rest of the kids and be as big as they are. She adds so much excitement to our lives. She loved camping, except the sleeping arrangements, she would always ask to "Go, bed" every night, but when you put her in the play pen, so would yell "NO!" She definetely likes her crib at home! Here are her fun shots for our weekend at Deception Pass.

Sticky, icky fingers....

Digging with the kids....

Digging in the sand.

I love little toes. She thought it was so funny that I was taking pictures of her toes.

Finding rocks, again the Duvall genes are coming through!

Showing her treasures.

Look at what I have Mom!

Deception Pass - James

So I didn't get many pictures of James at Deception pass, want to know why? He was busy exploring all over, I couldn't keep up with him and his good friend Blake. Jim and James also spent everyday fishing with all the guys, so I wasn't able to get photos them either. But James did catch only one of two fish caught by the men all weekend long. Way to go, James!
