Apple blossoms

 

Last year's apple crop was the best we've had.  

Come on tree!  Do it again!

Hopefully future apricots!

This little bee is going above and beyond — and upside down — to help make our apricots.  Click on the photo to see her bigger!

Bee

 

Love her! Hopefully she is making apricots!

Grandma K's family

 

Kira is absolutely fascinated by family history and pictures. 

Here's Grandma K's family.  Grandma K must have been all of 5 or 6 here.... She is the oldest.  

Look at those ringlets!  (Photo of the photo taken with the glass on it, sorry for the slight glare.)

First day

 

The sisters. 

This may or may not be the "official" first day shot. 

I need to download the DLR.

I do love the iPhone camera.

I love that it automatically shares everything with my computer.

I wished for this functionality in 2002. 

Wishes do come true.

The best thing about the school year so far...

No first period class for Natalie.

This means we can all leave the house at almost 8 am together.

It also means that we don't have to get up in the 6 o'clock hour.

It also means that the high school drop off is not scary and dangerous with a ton of drivers.

I'll let you know if anything disappoints, but after one day, I say "it's awesome."  

On another note, shout out to Uncle Joe... He's often here on the first day of school.

We miss you!

Return of the mystery flower

 

We're not sure how it got in our yard, nor what it is, but it's BEAUTIFUL.  Photo by Nick.

Scenic

 

So much beauty in the Yosemite area.  

This morning

 

Good morning... The only good thing about getting up early for school.

Our annual National Park Hike

 
We went on a hike last week (a week ago we had no broken bones!) and we found a swarm of ladybugs.  Nick got this shot, too. More pictures soon.
