{Catching Up, Part I}

I knew it would eventually happen.  I was doing really well at managing the blog site, the website, juggling my other job, my children's activities, and suddenly I'm sitting here, finding myself three months behind...dang it.  I really wish there was some magic Blog Fairy that instantly uploaded photos (along with some fantastically clever comments) to this site.  Of course, I also wish there was a Laundry Fairy, a Homework Fairy (who specializes in really senseless Master's Program classes...like Ethics-I mean, who needs that, really?), and my favorite, the Personal Assistant Fairy.  I think maybe I listened to too many fables...or watched too much Disney.....

My prayers for random Fairies is not why you're visiting this blog, though.  
You want to see some spectacular pictures of fabulous people and breath-taking scenery...and I am not one to let anyone down, so here we go!

{Blake, Senior 2014}

This is definitely a bittersweet post for me.  I have known Blake since before he was born.  He is two years older than my daughter, so it's a painful reminder that her senior pictures are just around the corner.  His mom and I have been best friends since rocks were formed...and she also happens to be the other half of BRAG photography.  We decided that Blake wouldn't show out so much if it were me behind the camera...so, yeah that worked for about the first four frames! 

Thanks, guys for sweating with me...and swatting mosquitoes with me...and being crazy enough to ride in the back of Blake's truck with me :)

{At risk of being shot, I'm going to post this picture just because I love his face, peeking out from behind Ginger...that's such a sweet picture!}

{Blake-Sixteen}

Saturday we were able to get away as a family and I snagged a couple of pictures of Blake to mark his 16th birthday....these were taken at the Land Between The Lakes Nature Station in Kentucky.

You can read all about our trip at my personal blog and enjoy an overload of more pictures, including some amazing sailboat pictures :)
