Apple picking in Hood River

Finally some warm sunny days. I'm trying to get in the mood for autumn so I took the girls apple picking. Soon it will be pumpkins. Billi is still upset every morning when Joshi goes off to school. So much for enjoying having mom and the house to herself. One more week and Daddys home for a 9 day visit. Then all will be right with the world.

First Day of KinderGarden

The big day finally arrived. Joshi managed to fall asleep last night but I hardly could. I was so excited for her. Her little sister is not happy she climbed up on a big yellow bus and drove off into the morning mist. But as you can tell from the photos, Joshi was ecstatic. Her grandparents came in from the east coast to share in the big step, which added greatly to the magnitude of the event.
