So, for the first time in 8 years I don’t have any kiddos at home during the day. It sure doesn’t seem like 8 years. Where does the time go? Kayla is now in third grade and Nathan is in Kindergarten. Sure, Nathan had pre-school 2 days per week last year for a few hours but this is different. Gone all day. I miss him. So now I’m trying to adjust my schedule – you know, working when people are supposed to be working...

I’m a little late in getting around to shooting  Nathans preschool graduation photos but we finally got it done today. I’ve recently had the opportunity to shoot newborn photos and bridal portraits for a couple of families from our church. Anyway, I can’t believe how fast he’s growing. Kindergarten (and THIRD grade for Kayla)  is now just over a month away. Crazy. As you can see in a couple of the photos below,...

For the first time ever, both of our kids are at school. Nathan is only going to pre-school 2 days per week but it feels funny with them both being gone. Usually at this time, he’d be playing the Wii and then we’d head outside for baseball or riding bikes etc.  I have a hard time believing they are growing up so fast. Up until about 6 months ago, Nathan had a very difficult time and would worry about going to Sunday school at...

I say this every year but “I can’t believe my little girl is starting – insert current grade here.” This year she moves to the middle school building (right next door to the elementary building).  I imagine she must feel smaller walking through those bigger hallways.  She is both exited and nervous with lots of new stuff happening this year. New building, 2 teachers vs. one, a locker, and a snack bar in the...

Well that was the fastest summer in history!  Man, it seems like Kayla just got out of school and now first grade is here already.  We did have a fun summer and managed to pack in quite a bit.  Galveston, Kemah, Jellystone Park, birthdays, gymnastics, piano lessons, and plenty of Sponge Bob on TV.  We took some time yesterday to shoot a few photos. Nathan wanted in on the action...

Kayla graduated from kindergarten today. Amy and I can’t believe how fast this year has gone. It seems like just a few months ago, we were worried about sending our daughter off to school and now here we are already at the end of the year. Kayla has grown up so much over the last year and is so smart. She is an excellent student and we are very proud of...
