I tried to take some nice pics of the girls while we were at the lake last week. Brynn was an excellent model, but trying to take pictures of Clara right now is like trying to wrestle a greased pig. She is cute though. :-)  You may recall when Brynn's PeeWee penguin credit union artwork was published in the newsletter. She was surprised to find a box from PeeWee on our doorstep yesterday.
