The Christmas tree
Is there anything more fun than watching your children grow up?
It's rough.
Especially those dog days of pre-school when they can talk and have no coping skills or rational thoughts.
Everything seems like such a crisis to a small child.
Going to bed, sharing toys, wearing the same thing day after day after day, learning to do homework, fist fights in church, learning to work; everything is an ordeal, at least it was at my house!
Then, they turn into teenagers.
It's rough and it isn't pleasant then either! Now it's time for their butterfly wings to unfold slowly; and watching my children learning to take those first little flights of independence was hard for me. I want to keep them safe from the world wrapped snuggly in the cocoon of our home forever. But I am not getting my way!!

another cousin, Erin
I have loved (okay, not loved, tolerated sadly)watching their personalities and interests taking shape.
In the past few months Jeff has fallen in love,
with my camera.
A little inexpensive digital camera, but in Jeff's hands it sees things I never would.
Lauren and Skyler
This picture is on our fridge!! We love it.
It is so fun to watch him grow up, develop interests and talents and hopefully a lifetime hobby. I wanted to give him a little internet art show. I might just be a proud mom, but I think my kid might just have some talent!!
An almond blossom that looks like it is just hanging by itself.
love this, see the little bug?
Take a bow Jeffy! Your first photography show, I hope there's many, many more!

AWWW so proud! He really is good!!
great pictures! love the one of lauren and skyler you have on your fridge!
isn't it exciting to watch a hobby develop? i love what it does for one's confidence as well. if more teenagers had productive hobbies, i think they would be easier to handle. and easier to like.
have him start a little photography blog where he can show off his work! and where his mom's friends can leave him comments... i'm sure he'd love that part. :P
My son is 23 and I still want to "cocoon" him! Those photos are great, I agree, I do think there is real talent there!
WOW! He has talent. These pictures really are good!
Just had to look at them again...I LOVE the one of the mailbox, and the daffodil.
Yes, yes!!! Take a BOW!!
The pictures are truly wonderful. This was beautifully written, Jeni. I laughed out loud about the fist fights in church. ;)
You can do that with a cheap digital camera?
I should really read my user's manual.
They look great!
Wow! He really is good! Please post more of his work! I love the nature pictures! The one of Lauren and Skyler is awesome too!
Jeff.....WOW! You are really talented! Don't you need to come visit your sister soon AND take pics of my kiddos!?!?!?!?!!?
Create a photo blog, Jeff. Really you should!
Those ARE great! He could make and sell his own greeting cards...
wow Jeff those are awesome pictures!!!
Wow! Seriously, he really is good.
Great photographs!!! He should start a photo blog. It would make him take photos every day - which would only make him get better! He's a nautral :)
If I hear of any fun photography classes coming up I'll let Jeff know.
Cool pictures! He has a good eye.
Awesome Awesome! Way to highlight a budding talent.
Talent.. He's got it!
Jeff, I am reserving you as my photographer for R.J.'s wedding.
I sense a nice new camera... where he can REALLY explore his talent. Good job Jeff!!
I'd buy them! Great job...he does have talent!
Wow! So impressed. Loved the close-ups of the flower and berries the most. So artsy fartsy. They would look great enlarged and used as an art piece.
Good job!
