2nd grade

I can’t believe he is in the 2nd grade.  I can’t believe he is in the 2nd grade.  I CAN’T BELIEVE HE IS IN THE 2ND GRADE!!!  I kept saying this in my head all night last night, and all morning.  Grey is just growing up too fast.  It is the most bitter sweet feeling.  On one hand I love watching him grow.  Learning to read, gaining independence.  But on the other hand, I miss my baby boy.  I miss his sweet little baby face, and his sleepy hugs and snuggles.  Now, he is just growing up too fast!  Thankfully, he still hugs me in public, still says the sweetest things, still thinks I’m a super cool mom, and still thinks I’m a great cook (poor kid…so misguided!).  So, I’ll enjoy each and every day of this bitter sweet feeling and hang on to every memory we make!

meet the teacher

I can’t believe Grey is starting the 2nd grade!!!  Where does the time go?  I swear it feels like not that long ago he was just a baby!  Thru the past several years, he has had a group of boys that have been in the same class – Kinder and 1st, and this year the school separated them.  So Grey doesn’t have any of his best buds in class with him.  I think his teacher will be grateful!  :)

camp meeting, 2011

This year, Camp Meeting was a little different for us.  Billy was unable to go most of the week, but we still enjoyed a lot of quality family time.  I was able to take Grey up thru bat cave this year.  Glad I did it, but if I don’t go again for a while, I’ll be ok with that!  LOL!  I also spent some hours doing photography for a family that was affected during the fire this summer.  They were such a pleasure to meet and get to know.  I was truly so blessed to get to spend some time with them!  And of course, its always fun to catch up with old friends.  I wish I had some pictures to share, but I just didn’t take many this year.  I guess I lived more in the moment than in the lens, and that is a good thing!  :)
