Week 11 of 52

I decided to try my best to take a picture of Evan and me for his Weeks 11, 22, 33, and 44.  As a mom and photographer, I never make it in the pictures.  The reasons are numerous.  Today Steve helped me with these pictures of my little man.  

Getting (myself) Ready

My baby is getting ready.  Or should I say, I am getting ready.  Soon she will be walking into pre-K.  Three more days.  That's all I have left.

And I am already crying.

I am not sure how I can take all the pictures of her I want to take on that upcoming day.

I know my tears will get in the way.
And I know my tears will make her cry, too.

I feel a bit relieved that I chose to take some "pre-K" pictures of her this past week, along with her best friend, who is only 1 day older than Syd, and 1 door away.  As I go thru those pictures, I wonder how this child, born 4 years ago, is now such a big girl, ready to enter the world of school, ready to not need me 2 days a week, ready to listen to her teacher, ready to play on a playground without me watching her, ready to learn about her true Creator, and ready to take her red Hello Kitty backpack with her.

I love you, Syd.
