Once again, my favorite time of year arrives. It is the time where the winter boarders have left school and right before summer camp begins. The weather is always breathing new life back into my pale complection and the stress of the school year slides off.
The school year has passed and it feels as if I am starting with a whole clean slate. There is so much I cover during the year with photos and it can be a bit daunting. The stress of it all overwhelms me at times. During these next couple of weeks, I purge photos, edit like mad, and anxiously await the final projects. I always worry I don't take enough images...then I look back and have hundreds to sift through. Luckily one of my favorite things to do is edit down photos. It is kind of like a sick compulsion. Strange, I know.
Last week Ava "graduated" from preschool. They do not have any formal little ceremony and for that I am hugely grateful. It is hard enough to walk out those doors of idillyc paradise of learning that if they put a little graduation hat on her, you would probably have to scrape me up off of the floor. I did however come to realize that in all my angst of her leaving, I almost forgot to recognize that it was a wonderful beginning...more than I could have ever hoped for or wanted, and for that I am eternally grateful.
Manny is getting so big and independent. He stands on his stool in the bathroom and runs his toothbrush under the sink to brush his own teeth. It is really quite a cute image of us in the morning...me drying my hair, manny and ava brushing their teeth while Ava tells me something that happened or talks about some tiny detail she remembers about an event all the while shocked I don't remember the same thing.
This week is very busy for me...not surprising...I have 4 photo shoots between now and Sunday, a haircut, funeral, dentist appointment for Ava, and a visit with a friend. I am really looking forward to the visit. :-)
Next week I start TASP photos and running their daily blog. I cannot share the blog info with you since it is of children and we try our best to protect their privacy. The blog is daily and so are the photos for 6 weeks. On weekends I have private photo shoots scheduled so please forgive me if this blog gets neglected from now until then.

Tabor Prom
It's raining, on prom night, my hair is a mess....
Poor tabor kids...rain on prom night. I am looking forward to tonight though at the prom. It is fun to see the kids all dressed up. I can't believe the end of the year is here already.
The summer is right around the corner/here already. I love the summer at Tabor. I do one of my favorite jobs...photograph the summer program and run the daily blog. This summer we are going away for vacation too which is a big treat. We usually go to New Hampshire to the chalet and go to Storyland. We bring some friends with us and the kids have a blast. I love that vacation but it is a lot of work and I have to clean the chalet before we go and drop the trash off somewhere or drive with it at home...I also have to bring the sheets home with us to wash because there is no washer and dryer there either. This year we are headed off to Smugglers Notch where there is camp for the kids (both of them) and they even have babysitters at night so we can actually go out for dinner on our own. We can spend as much and as little time as we like and the amenities are endless. They have 8 heated pools with waterslides, hot tubs, mountain biking, segway riding, llama trecking, family games, campfires, hikes, canoeing, art classes (adults), yoga, massage...the list goes on and on. I hope we are there long enough to do it all...we will only be there for 5 days. I am hoping to make a little extra money this summer and extend that though. It looks like so much fun for everyone. I cannot wait!
I still need to find a flower girl dress for Ava for Angela's wedding. I need a dress, Manny needs an outfit...lots to coordinate. I will let Tabor finish though and then on to the next thing...one thing at a time.
