Learning To Fill My Days....



It's been 3 weeks since my daughter Brandie, my son in-law Wesley and my two beautiful, handsome grandsons, Emerson & Owen moved to Tennessee.
I am trying to fill my days with meaning, but every now and then, more often then not, the tears will start flowing. I miss their touch, and their hugs and kisses.

I am so grateful for Kelly Roy; a professional photographer who inspires me more then I think she'll ever know. Because of her, I decided to buy my first camera and take up photography. I am not sure what I am doing, but it keeps my mind busy. I am not focusing so much on how much I miss my grandsons when am playing with my camera. Kelly, if you ever read my pitiful blog, "THANK YOU" thank you for opening my eyes to this wonderful world through a lens. I can only hope to be half as good as you someday. I plan to move to Tennessee in two years to be with my grandsons...and I hope to master this enough so that I can start my own business out there.



I did a fun shoot with my nephew Justin and his family at Wells beach;
what a blast we had; especially trying to out run the storm that was close on our heals.

Hannah, Adrieanna, and Reece
Check out that sky behind them....


I loved these two girls, they are sugar and
spice and everything nice with a hint of
"Naughty" Lol



Playing on the rock...what a trio!

ON To New Adventures With My Camera! My First Senior Picture Photo Shoot...YIKES!!!


I received an e-mail from Kassandra above, (dark hair)
asking if I could do her Senior photos.
I jumped at the chance, but quickly informed
her I was not a pro, but I sure would love to
just have fun and see what happens. We started
out with a few shots of her and her younger
sister Makayla. The following are other shots
taken at Wells Beach and at the Harbor.







At the Harbor
























































There are many more, but I just wanted to post
a few. I wish I knew how to edit them in Photoshop
CS4...they would probably look even better. Can
anyone offer any suggestions? Kelly? Help!!!






























































































































































Our Last Family Visit Before The Move To Tennessee


Our last family outing was spent at
Shaw's Ridge BBQ Pit. Emerson and
Owen are both celebrating birthdays this
month and because they will not be here, we
decided to celebrate early. Uncle Derek
helps Emerson to blow out his candles.
The boys were both excited!


Earlier that day, we stopped over to Aunt Lee and
Uncle Butch's house for a last visit. Uncle butch
loves the boys and was so excited to see them.



Aunt Lee cut up watermelon for Owen. As you can
tell, he absolutely loved it!


This was one last photo of my daughter and my
grandsons with Uncle Butch and Aunt Lee.


One last squeeze for the road!


This was taken at Shaw's Ridge BBQ Pit.
Emerson was exploring the minature golf course
and was having a blast!

Owen liked an old wagon they had on the
property and decided to sit for awhile.
By the time Owen got to blow his candles out, he was
covered in frosting. Needless to say, one side of
the cake had none. Lol


Pepere and Mommy helps Owen to blow out his candles
He was so excited!

One last pose for Memere! I love you both so
much and will miss you so very much!!!








About Me

My photo
I am learning to navigate through life without my kids.Learning that I can do anything I set my mind to and that Tomorrow is always fresh with no mistakes. I am discovering that my happiness is not based on people...I am learning that happiness is from within, and is a gift from God. I am learning that when my eyes remain fixed upon Him...I can remain happy even with my grandsons so far away. I am learning it's ok to be me.
