Of Summer and Sand...Winds of Change?


ImageBoo Free Web Hosting

You know what I really wanted to capture with these photos on the beach? I wanted a great shot of all three kids working together.. in a non-posed shot. Something I could blow up to a poster sized shot you know? Or even better— hire an artist to use that awesome hoped-for photo to create a nice sized image.

I am really liking the ages of my kids right now. I want to catch them in the act of being kids. Cuz... I am starting to feel the winds of change these days.

Oldest is off to Jr. High this fall.

Youngest starts Kindergarten.

Something is in the air? Can you smell it?

My kids are generally the same ages as yours, and I agree -- I'm loving these ages. We can finally do family things without hauling along strollers and diapers etc. .

I love this collection of pictures -- great job!

Love the pictures way cute! I am also feeling the winds of change, moving out of the baby era. I am also looking forward to the next stage, and adventures that are to come!

Great, I came here as a blog hopper, and you made me melancholy!

Kidding. Mostly ;) I'm enjoying your posts, and this one spoke to me - loudly. My daughters are exactly 10 years apart - one in high school, one in kindergarten. I find I'm holding onto the wee one that much tighter because it was only 5 seconds ago that I was shrieking "I'm WHAT??!!" and here she is in school already. I know that in 5 seconds more, she'll be in high school and no longer wanting to sit on my knee with our foreheads pressed together, singing "You are my sunshine" under our breath, just to each other. It makes me sad.

Capture what you can, when you can. Cherish it.
