I have been out of town for two weeks, and just got caught up on everything this week from being gone. When you are a one person show (mostly), if you do not do it, it does not get done.

So, getting back into the swing of things also involved having the true joy of photographing my son and his family. It is always fun, unpredictable, and we just never know what we are going to get. My son, Ethan, is married to Michalene, and they have four children together. Add JJ, who is a freshman in high school, and the fun just does not stop. Ethan is a very talented musician, entrepreneur, teacher, frontman for his band, and incredible father and husband. 

I also have three daughters, one lives in California and works for Nickelodeon in post production editing, another lives in Michigan, just got engaged and is working on her Masters in Social Work while working with children on the spectrum, and my oldest lives in North Carolina, works in the Duke University library system and is working on her second Masters in library science.

To say how proud I am of who my children are is just an understatement. I have no words to describe how proud I am of who they all are as people and what they are doing with their lives. I recently told my oldest daughter that if I could be 1/4 of the person she is today, I would be happy. And, I mean that about ALL my children.
