For perhaps the first time ever, Emily is happy with her annual school photo. I always like her photos, but I agree that this is a particularly good one.
Her year has been rolling along smoothly. She is doing well in her classes and is looking forward to Halloween. She is going to have some friends over to trick-or-treat with her, and then they are going to trade candy and watch a movie (or at least that's the plan). She says this will be the last year of trick-or-treating because she is getting old enough that people won't want to give her candy anymore. If that's the case, I'll make extra sure to get some photos of her in her costume!
