lily’s first day of school
so, our little baby just attended her first day of real, honest-to-goodness public school. it ‘s kind of crazy to think that we’re old enough to have a kid learning her reading, writing and arithmetic. fortunately, because of jana’s long and hard work, she actually knows most of that stuff already. well, she’s learning to read but she can already do basic math (pluses and minuses) and has a pretty good command of writing out the english alphabet. anyway, we snapped a few pics and shot some video of the occasion. i apologize in advance for the video. it’s been quite a while since i shot any video of the kids and this one is a little sloppy. i also apologize for the soundtrack, the first track was all me, but after that i thought it might be nice to throw in a favorite of lily’s. enjoy!

A most excellent movie. Great job. Next time, “cut in” a few scenes from Rodney Dangerfield’s “Back to School” to add context. The scene with Sam Kinison as the ranting Professor Turguson would be great to show the kids what they’ll be dealing with in school in the years ahead. Or perhaps, some “Malcolm in the Middle” lunch break antics so they’ll be prepared for the bullies that lurk all schools.

mmmmmm, yeah i like that. like i said, it’s been a while. i really wish i would have consulted you before hand. those are good ones. next time…
Our Lily is all grown up! First off…do you guys ride the bus to the Temple? and is that even legal to ride the bus alone with Bob the bus driver? Amazing movie…Kati wants me to do one for her first day of senior year now! Keep them rolling! Love ya Lily!
@sisterfriend
thanks sis. no, no bus to the temple. i’m not sure where she got that one from. as far as the legality of riding solo with bob the bus driver, i haven’t checked the local statutes, but he seemed like a pretty cool guy. i can’t wait to see what you come up with for kati. i’m sure she’s all over that idea.
Hey, what’s all that gobblegook at the beginning of my first comment above? I didn’t type all that weird stuff and it makes me look stupid like a Republican!!!!!
@Obamaman
which “gobblegook” are you referring to? everything looks normal to me.
Well, it disappeared immediately after I posted my critical comment, but it was there on the screen while I was typing. The gobblegook was, in essance, part of the first sentence that I wrote, followed by a bunch of weird characters and numbers. Then my entire original comment followed as a separate paragraph as it appears above. Very strange. Actually, when I first accessed your site yesterday to see the beach photos, the site came up in HTML mode and looked very strange. I closed it and then re-accessed it and it came up OK. I think your Mac has the cornflicker virus.
@Obamaman
yeah, i’m sure the problem is on my end…
that’s was amazing! totally captured the day. she is so cute!! that looks like a nice new school, too.
