First day of school

Yesterday was Elisabeth's first day of preschool! Since we lost the backpack (oops!), we decided to do the mandatory 'first day of school picture' in the gardens instead of at school.

[Real photographers, please forgive me for shooting into the sun on this one. It was the only sitting shot that I caught her with a genuine smile!]

Update: The backpack is found! I feel like the woman in the parable of the lost coin!
