Back to school

Kendal and Aubrey August 23, 2010 on the first day of school.  Kendal is a Senior and Aubrey is in 8th grade.  

The kids are so tall that I can't take a successful "full length" picture, with this camera or (cramria) without cutting off their heads or feet (when I actually get the photos printed --on the digital image it still looks fine)  so, I just decided to get the top half--you can be  sure as anything that Aubrey is wearing jeans.  Kendal has on khaki shorts.  We have had great luck with finding long enough jeans for Aubrey.  Aubrey is almost 5'10''.  At her sports physical, with her flip lops on, she was 5'10''-- PLUS I pretty much look right at her now.

The first day of school has more "stuff" to take.  Notice they don't have the usual kleenex boxes--they have finally outgrown that part of school supplies.  There is also a heavy dew on the vehicles and grass.  Kendal has on a jacket and Aubrey is toughing  out the morning chill.  

 How wonderful it is to have a sibling who is willing to drive  to school a bit early.  Aubrey has PE first hour and she was concerned about getting to school early enough to get her PE lock and locker, be all dressed down  AND set up her regular locker with all the cool things girls care about.  The lockers are inside, so you can't get to them ahead, like we could in Arizona.  

It is nice to see them head off to school and know they are not the "new" kids anymore.  They both have a pretty good idea of what is going on.
