First Day of First Grade
Eleanor had a wonderful first day of First Grade!
Eleanor chose a pretty green dress with sparkly silver shoes & a matching headband to wear.

We joined up with our friends and the girls walked hand in hand, talking excitedly, while their little brothers were pushed in strollers, talking away to each other as well.
We had to remind her, she was ready to head in for class without them!

American Indian Museum
Beauty Salon
Eleanor, Grandma Judi and I all went to the beauty salon together! It was a fun afternoon for us all. Eleanor had FOUR inches cut off, revealing lovely healthy hair. She has been growing out her bangs for a year now. It was so fun to watch her dance and make faces at herself in front of the mirror while I was having my hair done. This summer she mastered putting in her own ponytail elastics, so between that and headbands she will be quite self-sufficient in the morning.
There are no photos of Grandma Judi's new hairstyle...she fell down the steps outside her house and fractured her nose and is sporting double black eyes. Eleanor & I witnessed the fall and know how lucky she is...headfirst down 10 stairs and landed on concrete. Her angel was definitely present. I was fearful that she wouldn't be conscious, she took quite a fall. All this while Poppa is out of town hunting for 2 more weeks yet. Made it hard for us to leave her and head back home.

Dad making last minute adjustments on the camper before heading north on he and Mark's annual Moose Hunt. They built a special 4-Wheeler rack so they could each bring one. The Caribou season opened earlier this year, it was their first time hunting caribou and moose in one trip. They used the 4-Wheelers to get back in off the road about 40 miles....and Mark got one on opening day!
