Sept 8th. Rachel's first day of Grade 1. She thought it was great to be a big kid and go to school all day but mom had a hard time without her all day! 

Sept 1st. Rachel learns how to ride her bike all by herself. We were all very happy that she learned to ride, she thought she was a pretty cool kid after that. 

This is a picture of Stephanie at 4.5 months old. 

This was the first time I tried a black and white picture and it is one of my favorite pictures of the girls together.
