School Photos: Keeping us Humble

I think we can all agree that one of the best parts of back to school is the photos.  School photos in general are awesome, funny, and terrible, but they are necessary to human development.  Is that going too far?  A little bit?  Probably, but I'm sticking with it.  School photos remind us of all the awkwardness, the fun times, the carefree days of childhood.  Most importantly, they keep us humble. So very humble.  So now, for your viewing pleasure:

 Miri and her sister, Talia, circa 1991.  Because every first grader needs a good briefcase, right?

Meg and Melissa.  We have since dubbed Megan "Queen of the Floral Jumpsuit," because apparently, she had several.  Of course she pulls it off quite well.  

And then there's Jill.  No, not any of those studious girls at the table.  She's the one huddled on the floor.  Playing it cool.

Another gem from Miri (middle) and Dafni (left) and their sister, Talia (right).  Again, briefcases. I just can't get over the briefcases!

Lis (conveniently pointed out by the red arrow) looking adorable in the late 80s.  Many of her schoolmates, however, are really rocking some rad hairdos.

Finally, that's me (Lindsey) in first grade.  So many things about this picture, the most important being how happy we all look.  Also, you should know, those bangs and those braids (and on alternate days pigtails) were pretty much my hair style from the ages of 4-9.  I had no say in the matter.
