First Day of School Pictures.........................(?) actually, my life is much more random than that :)

Ok, so you'd think that things would slow down and wouldn't be so busy, now that school has started. Wrong! By the end of the second day I realized that I hadn't got my traditional first day of school, kids standing in front of the playground or the front door, pictures. So instead of taking one later in the week and passing it off as the first day (which I considered), I am substituting a cute little moment with Tanner that I managed to document, in progress.

So I was sitting at the computer and I heard a little tap-tap-tap sound. So I looked out the window, and this is what I saw (lucky for me I had my camera sitting ready to go on the desk right in front of me)
And then he popped up and knocked again...
So I started for the back door, but he got impatient (while I was snapping the pictures) and was coming in when I got around the corner. He said "did you hear that?" and I said "yes, but darn it, I wanted to see what was in the box at the back door," and he said "do you want me to do it again?' When I told him yes, he went back out the door, shut it, climbed back into the box, and knocked again. So, here is the package that was at my back door...
...and here's the cute little surprise that was in it!


-just a footnote to the Summer 2008 post...
here are some picture-perfect ripe strawberries and blackberries. Yummy!

...I'm going to go out & pick them now!
