Habitat for Humanity...

I had the pleasure of attending a ground breaking ceremony yesterday morning for Habitat for Humanity...I was photographing the event for Venice Magazine...which I work for.  I brought Weston along...one so he can understand the importance of community service and two because Martin Grammatic was going there.  He use to be the kicker for the Tampa Bucs and he is a soccer player.  Martin and his family own the company that are donating the homes for this project. Weston got him to sign his soccer ball take a photo.  It was a good morning....nice way to start you day.

 

 

 

Raising the first wall into place.  This is a manufactured energy efficient  home...very cool concept made my Home Front Homes.

Rain, Rain go away....it is Graduation Day....

Today is Chelsea's big day....She is graduation from High School @ 8PM  tonight...that is if it stops raining by then....if not she will be graduation at   8 AM  tomorrow moring.... 

I remember taking her to the first day of pre-school and as I was leaving she looked at me like to say  "Where are you going...you are suppose to stay her with me". She never cried and has always loved school.....I wonder if I will ge that same look the day I leave her at college.

I am so excited but also a bit sad. It is bitter sweet.  She will go off to college in the fall and I will miss her dearly. But the funny part is that is exactly what I want her to do. I so happy for her to start this next Chapter of her life...

I just wanted to share this with you....for all of you that have little ones at home or children that are only a few years away from this milestone.....take in every moment and cherish this short time you have with your children...don't blink or it will be over....

Congratulation Chelsea.....we are all so very proud of you...

busy week at the Bolyard house...

Getting ready for prom this Friday night at the Ritz Carlton....party bus, hair and nail appointments , and prom dresses are all set....I am so excited for the girls. But on top of that.....

We have been doing home improvements all week....new windows and new flooring. Which I am really excited about, but comes with a big mess and lots of work.....I spent yesterday clearing out my scrapbook room, (getting wood floor in there and Chelsea's room) which was a good thing cause I have been meaning to go through it for months and I really need to purge.  I have filled two big boxes with stuff and started to purge other rooms in the house too....Looks like it is time for garge sale in the next couple of weeks. 

Here is the before of the scrapbook room with bare floors and pretty much empty...also full of dust from the tearing out and replacing ofthe windows....I am really tired of dusting...will share some after photos when it is all done and I have redecorated my scrapbook space...
