Abby

First Day Of Third Grade

I’m going to interrupt my drawn-out blogging of San Francisco to present Abby on her first day of third grade. Actually I shot this about five days later when I could get the time to set up my photography crap and when she was in the mood. She’s wearing her Spirit Day outfit. Spirit Day is every Friday and they can wear PA sportswear instead of the regular uniform. Take a gander at her other first days. Except for kindergarten, which I somehow failed to photograph.

She’ll Never Be 7 Again

Abby wrapped up three weekends of birthday fun. She had a huge time making crafts at The Painted Pig with about 20 of her friends from the three schools she’s attended so far.

She followed up the next weekend with an outdoor cupcake party with Nana and Gramps.

Her Mimi and Papa came the next weekend but I somehow failed to shoot any photos of those festivities. That’s a first for me. Sorry guys.

Creepy Diorama

Abby was assigned to create a diorama based on a book. The book was called creepy carrots. She made the diorama with no help from anyone, except Gina helped her with placing the moss in the bottom of the box. I hadn’t gotten around to using my new backdrop system I got for Christmas. It has transformed my ghetto studio into my Ghetto Studio™. So I thought Abby, with her new haircut and freshly made diorama, would make a great subject. Abby was not in the mood to cooperate at all. I gave up after exactly 4 minutes. I still like the picture I got, though.
