Another Year, Another Picture [School]
I have forsaken my blogging duties for most of the summer–everyone needs a break, right? But today marks the start of the school in HP, so Speed, Layla, and Emma are transitioning back into their school routines. Predictably, Speed is … Continue reading
New School Year Mean New Header [Administration]
I used to make headers out of random pictures that I just found interesting–and that amazingly enough fit the extreme width/height requirements. But for the last couple of years, I’ve settled on using the first day of school photos taken … Continue reading

As I mentioned with regard to Madysen’s Baccalaureate, Friday was a big day with two graduations. We’ll start with the simpler one–Emma’s 4th Grade Graduation from Bradfield Elementary. Layla did this two years ago, and it seems like many people … Continue reading
