Growing up, and belated photos

Look! Old bad phone photos from our beach trip in August.

Duchess got braces this week. This is her before they were installed.

No post-braces close-up photo yet. Duchess headed straight off to her camping weekend after school on Friday. This is her at the bus stop, snarfing a hastily-assembled burrito, and rocking an overall awesome adolescent geekery. She's now a good inch taller than I am.





















And this is a random photo from my bike commute last week, waiting for the drawbridge to go down.
