And the child is graduating....

Wow. I can absolutely NOT believe that the J-Man will be graduating in just over a month's time. Blows my mind worlds out of the water... How come he's not still 5yrs old like I see him being in my head?? This is weird. There is no possible way that he is old enough to be heading off to college and striking out on his own...no possible way.

How is it that they grow up so incredibly fast?? I just don't get it. 18 years is a long time...how is it that it has seemingly flown by?

I was privileged enough to be entrusted with taking the kid's senior pictures. I think that's when it really started to hit me... I mean, filling out college apps and talking about where he wants to go and what he wants to do is one thing; we talk about that a lot throughout our high school years. But, actually taking him out and snapping shots of him to send out in his graduation announcements and to add to his senior slideshow really hit me.

And then I started editing those pictures...holy COW my little brother is so grown up! Some of his playful character came out in a few of the shots we took, but so many of them were just so grown up!! I just can't believe it...but there it is staring me in the face. Cold, hard, photographic proof, that he is no longer a child. Don't get me wrong, he's still a kid, and a baby, and a little one, and all that jazz...but, he's just not a child anymore...weird.

Now that I have rambled on about all that, feast your eyes on some of the finished product from the photoshootness:

This is my absolute favorite...shows his true colors - THEATRE!!!

And that, my loves, is all for now.

Shalom!
