Lily's Growing Up...

I took pictures of Lily for her 1st Grade school pictures. She is growing up so fast. Can you believe she is already 6 1/2?! My how the time flies.

We went to the JC Raulston Arboretum here in Raleigh. It's a wonderful place to spend some time in nature.

While there was not a whole lot in bloom, the rose garden did hold some late surprises.

Those picture packages the school offers are just ridiculously priced! And there was a lot of added value we got out of doing it ourselves.

And the photo is not always that awesome. They make you pose in awkward positions. PS, Lily posed herself for the most part. She's always loved having her photo taken.

 You never get to feel like a super model. I gave her a few directions here and there. But I tried to let her run the show.

We spent a couple of hours just the two of us on a lovely fall day together. We both had a lot of fun and I think we got some lovely photos. Some of them are just beautiful Lily. And a few are silly Lily. I think we captured a lot of her personality. I also think we will do it again next year.

Today, I present to you: Photos by Lily.  Lily spent a couple days using the camera to take some photos and here they are! 

A few random things from around the house.

Mom and Dad: From my Perspective

One of Lily's many photos from on the way to the park. She was really working angles on this one!

Career

Sooooo, I am again questioning my choice of career.  I don't know if I am getting burned out on accounting from the bad teachers I've been having or my not-that-great accounting job.  Either way, it's become a chore, a mundane task, a don't-wanna.

Calculators are so dull.
