WhatSheSaw

I see them.

And congrats on getting her off to school. My youngest will graduate from college in March, if all goes well. Then he may come back for a bit, depending on the job market for English majors with Philosophy minors. Her room looks a lot cleaner than his did when he left for the first time.

Elaine

I see 'em! I'm not sure whether to say "Congrats!" or "I'm sorry!" It's just hard to believe. You have beautiful women in your life, no matter the occasion.

Mitchell

I get a lump in my throat viewing these!!

Wachel

I see them. Congrats for getting one out of the nest...and I am sad for you at the same time! Good pics.

Models
Oh dear. Your models have abandoned your runway. Congratulations on having more time to spend with your wife and your camera. Condolences on the models and the tuition.

Nice set of journalism.

SO exciting for her..and I know hard for you! I'm both looking forward to having my house to me all again *in a long 17 years from now which at the moment I feel can't come too soon* and dreading it at the same time. Bittersweet for sure. Great shots as always Jeff!!!

Enjoy the empty-nesting a semester at a time! Sweet series.

divamum

Wow! One of the first sets of photos I saw here was you taking Daughter #1 and installing her in college.

Very sweet indeed. And I have to say... nice dorm to have what looks like a decent kitchen!

Congrats to you too then....

...and her room is generally kept clean. We have to worry a bit about her older sis though!:D

Im not sure what to say either Elaine...and doubt it would matter. They grow up fast regarless of what we do to prevent it.


If not already, you will realize this very soon yourself.

This is our youngest. Our other two have been here...done this. The empty house is really new to us....strange...alien. I like it!!!:D

It is a great feeling and a very sad one. The longer they are away the more time before you seem them. They grow up too fast and never seen enough.

Thanks for commenting Kathy. We got a call Sunday that Bre has joined the same sorority(Phi Mu) as Tina...albeit on a different campus. Some kinda double sisterhood stuff. Tina has chosen to cheer for here university and I belive I have secured some sideline access whenever I choose to go to games. While sports isn't my forte....Ill be sure to share some of those shots when/if I get my chances.

aaah...its only cabinet space and a sink. We and her roomy each brought a little fridge. They added a microwave and a couple coffee pots and smoothie makers.


My girls have been the most oft shot subjects in my photography hobby. What do I shoot now?

Well she drove home once already ....just to eat supper and then go back. Shes only a half hour from home. Not too big a stretch!

Congratulations all round!


…so have you rented out the room yet?

…or perhaps you should convert it into a dark-room (well, what with all the interest in film…)

My boy is two and I dread this day... cry I guess you learn to not dread it as much during their adolescence.

Good sharing!
