Get Your Brown Bags Out -- It's Back To School Time!

Yes, all three Norris girls are back in school. It's a bittersweet time as summer draws to an end and the new school year begins. Claire entered the realm of Jr. High and seems to be adjusting well. Lilian is at a new school as well and likes her teacher and Sophie has moved up the seniority ladder at her school as a 1st grader. Here are a few pictures that Tracey took:

Dillon Beach 2010

We spent several days at Dillon Beach recently which is about 60 miles north of San Francisco. It was a really great trip. Pat and Sherry were out from Utah, so it was nice to spend some time with them. We spent most of our time at the beach and then playing games in the evening. Thanks to Mark and Kay for renting the awesome beach houses. The weather was great and I hope we can make it out again next year! We didn't take a ton of pictures but here a few.
