Our baby started kindergarten and melancholy is rearing it’s ugly head.  It’s way too quiet in the house today.  Although, I’ve probably gotten more done in the last 3 hours than I have all summer.   

Granted I’ve had many days, where I would think (sometimes out loud) I can’t wait until school starts.  Which I swore I’d never do, because it drove me crazy when my mother said it!  But…I’m already missing them. 

I’ve always had a hard time saying good-bye.  Every New Year that comes, and we sing it…You know, that song…Auld Lang Syne?  Well, it makes me very sad.  Is it change, saying good-bye to the old and hello to something new.  Maybe, either way…it’s too much for me today.

Well, that was depressing.  On another note:  There’s still one more week-end for Broadway under the Stars!  If you haven’t made it out yet, take the opportunity!  They have some very talented actors and put on quite a show!

Broadway Under the Stars

Here is another amazing opportunity to see local kids, as well as those who’ve travelled from all over the country, performing at Emily Ann Theater in Wimberley.

This was a super cool session!  This baby came into our world within a week of these portraits…

Some were a little shy at first…

but warmed up quickly

A new baby is a celebration of love…which is why capturing these moments are just as important as your wedding 

I really enjoyed working with you, can’t wait to meet the little one!

Thanks to all of you who made it to the Wizard of Oz performance…

I certainly enjoyed visiting with you and I know my little thespian was thrilled to see you as well!

A big thanks to Lee Collee, Director, for putting on an amazing show and to Lady McBeath for holding everything together!

These kids worked very hard and spent several long hours together.  The ending was bitter sweet

Now…on to Shakespeare!

The Cast of Wizard of Oz visited the residents of a local nursing home yesterday. 

They were great performers and stopped to visit with the residents afterwards.  What a great example these children are in reaching out to our community!   You are an amazing bunch of kids!  Thanks to Lee Colee-Atnip, director,  for organizing the event.

It’s official!   We made a trip to Corpus Christi last week for the President’s Banquet of TAPT and Grandaddy has finally retired!  We’ve been waiting patiently :)  Grandmamma retired a couple of years ago, but Grandaddy went from Transportation Director of CCISD to President of TAPT…so we had to share them for a couple of years.

It was a long hard road, but we stood fast and now the time has come!  We finally have them back.  Congratulations Grandaddy!   Can’t wait to see more of y’all !!!

Here’s a link to a website that helps you find the the cheapest gas in town.  Check it out and if you happen to be in the area…you might as well fill up! 

Especially if you happen to be traveling this summer, with internet access, you can locate a pump that is, well…a little less shocking.
