Almost time to go in to the Kindergarten classroom. 

Looks pretty confident right before school starts!

Siena started the first day of Kindergarten at her daycare (next to school). 

Summer Vacations

The following pictures are from our recent visits to Oma and Opa's house in Tennessee, and our long weekend at San Jose Family Camp (near Yosemite). Happy campers and happy travellers! These were fun times!

At the Oak Ridge children's museum. Never saw a cuter engineer!

Sparklers!
