Jack's 9 month photo shoot !!

I cannot believe this is the last entry for this project.

I have had so much fun reading other blogs and learning from a

wonderful group of photog friends.  I am so thankful to be a part

of this group!

I have to mention that doing this last entry comes with a heavy heart.

I am so proud of our smart, sweet and beautiful daughter.  She is now 18 and graduating

High School.  I sit back in awe of her and wonder where life will take her.

This past month I have been going down memory lane a lot and it is so 

sad.  I am so excited for her for the next journey in her life but so sad because

she's not 5 anymore or snuggling with me or whispering little girl secrets in my ears anymore.

These photos I posted are just little reminders of how she would leave her homework out on the 

table and just felt like making her bed was "a waste of time because I'll be back in it in a few hours".

I know that all of you know just how fast time can go.  And I know that you cherish

every minute you can of Family and Friends.  

I also know how we are all blessed with our kids.

Thank you everyone for this project.  This one has meant a lot to me.

As we are nearing the last month of our project I can't help but

to stop…... and take a look through the previous posts.

Our Daughter is Graduating this year. We couldn't be more proud

of her and yet I really miss when she was younger.

Conner is at a fun age, too, 12 yrs.

I came home from work a few days ago and always have to find

both kids to give a hug and find out how their day went.

I go into Alyssa's room to find her Prom dress and

her Graduation gown hanging on her door.

I have to say, tears came quickly and hug felt tighter and longer.

I love that we are doing this project and hope to continue

doing more. Especially when it comes to my Children, Family and Friends.

Thanks to all my Photog Friends for sharing photos of their Children. 

I love it :)

Love when you ask the kids to put away their stuff, toys, or

whatever it may be and…….the corners seem to be the place

it goes. That, or under the bed!!

I know one day I'll miss it, though.

I am lucky to be involved in another 12 month project with

a group of fun, wonderful, talented group of local photographers.

The project is called "kids were here".

A wonderful project created by

Ketti Photography

February has Valentine's Day and…..

my kids' Birthdays.

Lyss turned 18 yrs and Conner is now 12 yrs.

Lyss is into working out and water bottles.  She didn't

forget the thank you cards!

Conner's loves music and his iPod touch.

Now we can add his new "headphones" as

another favorite.

Cant believe it's been 8 months already for

this project. It has been a learning process and a lot of

fun. Homework has not been as much fun recently.

Maybe because the weather and everyone is stuck inside

a lot. 

Makes me laugh, though, that my Son feels

his little friend needed to learn some things about Science.

Love him…..

Let the shopping begin!!!

So…….another shopping adventure with Alyssa, and 

oh what fun we had! 

Every shopping trip leads to more spoiling and 

probably buying more than what we should.

But, more importantly, its more quality

time I get to spend with her.  

LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!!!
