back to school
Don’t even know how I feel. Excited, happy for them that everyone had a great sendoff this morning, sad, lonely, numb. Enjoying the quiet and editing in peace. Missing Timmy’s little voice and face so much. Not missing the bickering and arguing from them being together all summer. Missing Jack & Patrick talking baseball. Missing all 3 so much and can’t wait until 3pm today to hear allllll about it.
In retrospect, I’m thinking I didn’t plan this out to well. Big boys starting Middle School and Timmy starting Kindergarten all on the same day? Not working for me.
Took the boys up to the Middle School last week after orientation to set up their lockers and walk their schedules again. Took the pictures them so I wouldn’t have to embarass them (well, anymore that necessary) on the first day!
And this morning:
And Timmy this morning, an hour after the boys left:
Timmy’s BFF’s who are all in the same class!! Jack and Olivia- not to mention many other kids we know in the class. Looks like it’s going to be a great year!!
Hugging Daddy. 
And he’s on his way. 
Waaaaaaa!!!!

…and that’s that
Cannot even believe that summer’s over. And that school starts tomorrow. Happy and sad, excited and dreading it all at once. I’ll have some back to school pictures for you tomorrow (as I edit between the tears that will surely be streaming down my face) but for today, just enjoy some end of the summer beach scenes.

visitors day(s)- more catching up
Yeah, so this is a little late but I guess that’s what the catching up is all about. Visitors day at Jack & Patrick’s school back in MAY!!! and Timmy’s camp in early July. Some with the point n shoot, some with the big guns. Happy Sunday, everyone.
Boys and grandmas and the houses that they built to withstand a hurricane (which was a leaf blower).

baseball camp (catching up)
Ok, I’m so behind on my personal posts so I’m going to try to catch up on them over the weekends. For now anyway, until the fall sessions start piling up and I can only post client pictures 7 days a week. I’m so far behind that I haven’t blogged stuff from our trip to Jamaica in May or the end of the school year stuff.
So anyway, here are a few shots from the big boys baseball camp they went to the last week of June/first week of July. Enjoy your weekend!

beach fun
We haven’t spent nearly enough time at the beach this year. Been there on the weekends lots, but hardly during the week at all. Was planning on a beach week this week, but so far it’s been a bust weather wise. Here are some shots on a day I lugged the big camera down to the beach.
The ocean has been crazy rough this summer. Evidenced by Jack being taken out on the right.
Timmy can really swim now. Like I can let him go in the pool alone (while watching of course and he has to stick close to the wall- but he can do it!)
Patrick:
Patrick, Colleen, Erin and Jack. They’ve been friends for 9 years now. And every summer their mom and I say that that was probably the last summer that they’d hang out together, and they keep proving us wrong. I’m so glad!
Jack:
A little fun with Uncle Nelson. Even though he’s moved to NJ this year, he still manages to make the transcontinental trip to the beach with us. 
Love me some sandy, salty, spiky beach hair!
Fell asleep on the bench, on John. Hard day of play at the beach can do that to ya. 
Patrick trying to pretend that we’re not annoying the crap out of him. 
And Jack, being a good sport for me. 
Hope everyone else is enjoying their summer too!!
