First Day of School

We have been taking a picture of Signe on the front steps each year on the first day of school. (I've offered to take Steve's picture as well, but he hasn't taken me up on that yet). This year, she started 2nd grade. I've posted the picture below, although I do have to say that the smile is probably forced because she was upset with me for making her come outside since it was cold out! (Signe, when you read this someday I just want you to know that you really, really, really wanted to wear that Hannah Montana shirt to school, versus something a little warmer!) Anyway, you don't realize how much your kids change until you look at pictures and compare them year to year. Check out her kindergarten picture below that. (The 1st Grade picture is evading me at the moment).
