Family Fotos

Our wedding photographer came to do some photos this summer while we were in Flathead...

Cuties

Rose has a fake smile for the camera now -- they grow up so fast! :)

Rose's class

So many fun things to do!

Rose's First Day of School!

Rose started preschool yesterday! She wasn't so excited about the pre-school photos, and she wanted to play in the playground as we passed by, but once she got into the room, she took right to it. Welcome to Temple Isaiah Rose!

And just in case that isn't enough

Here are all the photos from Montana:

UM Flathead Lake Biological Station Open House

In all my years, I have never been, but apparently the UM Biological Station in Yellow Bay has an open house every year. It was quite cool. The UM mascot was there, we got to see (and touch!) a lot of animal pelts, we went on the research boat to see the research bouy (made in collaboration with Woods Hole!), and Jack got to hold a bird that had fallen out of its nest (some kids of one of the researchers found it -- apparently it is ok to touch them). We went with the kids to return the bird to its nest, it saw its mom, and took its first flight! Jack also enjoyed hearing about the food web and how it has been messed up by the introduction of a species of shrimp.

Fun with Friends

We were lucky to have Pascaline, Kudzai and Naomi visit us for a few days this year. The kids had a lot of fun, and it was nice to see the grown-ups too!
