Back to School...

Well, the kids and I are all back to school now....
I have been taking some Staff Group Pictures and Sports Teams at various schools the past week or two. This week we photographed a couple small schools and I spent a few nights at a Hotel in Osage Beach while we photographed Camdenton High School. Today we photographed about 350 Little League Football Players in Sedalia and in a couple weeks we have about 1100 Soccer Players to photograph in Sedalia. This next week may be our busiest week I have ever worked with Inter-State Studio, we have 5-6 cameras going each day this week and we have our crews stretched out all over the territory - luckily two or three days are fairly close to home for me.

Lizzy had her first day of 5th Grade on Thursday - Yes, I said fifth grade. It sounds like she has a great teacher - and as always, she is excited about school. She has really grown up this summer - and she is still enjoying her All-Star Cheerleading. In a couple of months she will start having one or two competitions per month, and we are very anxious to see her perform.Kendall hasn't been doing much other than playing catch with Dad, riding his scooter and bike and playing with the other boys in the neighborhood since we finished T-Ball. He wants to play basketball this winter, but we have not found anywhere that he is old enough to play. We may just have to play soccer or something else.

The start of school brought lots of work for Fonda and The Little Teachers Store. Teachers have been in getting items to prepare their classroom and business has been very steady since the Grand Opening. She has been putting in lots of hours both at the store and home with making new purchase orders to complete special orders to keep the inventory full.
