Don't Blink...

Wow.  It's graduation day today.  Not sure what happened to April! Between taking a much-needed break with the family over spring break, and trying to keep up with my seniors before graduation, it's been nuts.

To all of the 2011 graduates, my favorite Irish Blessing: May the Lord keep you in His hand, and never close His fist too tight.

Jeb, Lilly and Jack. We need to teach
Jeb how to loosen-up!


Speaking of graduation, my youngest, Jeb, just graduated from pre-school. I had to share what he chose to wear the the luau - keeping in mind his class award was for "King of Debate".

My other son just lost his upper front tooth yesterday, too.  It's pretty cute. Can't wait for both to go, then I will be able to do my Christmas card (and for all of you with "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" stuck in your head now, I apologize!).


So as with the last post, I find myself looking at new beginnings.  Both of my boys will be in the same grade school in the Fall.  This amazing group of 2011 graduates will be going away and the 2012 graduates are already stepping-up to make their own mark. I have been meeting a lot of new babies, too!  They are precious and tiny and growing so fast. It is a privilege to help document their first year.  The year is already half over and I'm not sure where the first part went!

With everything moving at the pace it does, I hope all of you (and me, too!) get a chance to enjoy a few slow, summer days. Of course, it's a great time to get the family together for that portrait you've been putting-off for so long, too!  Stay tuned for the adventure that was my family's portrait at the beach...
