I feel like I was put in jail and forced to make license plates all day.  But actually, no one forced me, and it wasn’t license plates.  And it wasn’t jail.  It was school paperwork.<\/p>\n

That’s right, paperwork for school registration for Nathanael and Hannah.  Photos, medical information, vital statistics, legal stuff – these schools will soon know all there is to know about our kids, except maybe what they had for lunch today.<\/p>\n

Anyway, we still don’t have all the paperwork they require, but we’re hoping they’ll be able to wait on the rest, and will be satisfied with the papers that they are about to get buried under.<\/p>\n

We have to bring photos to the school, so I thought you’d enjoy seeing some of the shots I took yesterday.  If you want to see a larger version, just click on the photo pile itself to go to our Photo Gallery.<\/p>\n
