They are getting so big...I can't believe that in 10 days Derik will be four (we were watching Michael Phelps win his 7th gold medal of the Beijing Olympics when I went into labor with him, and I told Derik that. He calls him Mimal Wells. We watched him win a few more this year!). And just a month after that, Jackson will turn 5! Where in the world does the time go?! 

We are going to start school this year; it's not "official" because we don't have to register as a homeschool until next year but it's a good practice year for me. Both Luke and I were homeschooled and we're so excited to be able to start teaching our own children. :)

I took these a few weeks ago in my studio and they both kept asking to switch to the black wall! No, the white wall! I think they are cute no matter which wall they're standing in front of. ;) 

These are getting blown up and framed for our hallway...they have got to be some of my favorite pictures of them ever! (And mom, these aren't the full-sized images, if you want them I'll email them to you when I've got decent internet sometime.) 

P.S. Christmas is coming up...I'm going to have a photo shoot deal coming up soon! :)
