Day 253
I am really not sure how he can be a senior when I swear he was just 6. I have the most amazing job when I get to look through my camera and, at times, see younger versions of my brothers. That is what happened a while ago when photographing my other nephew, and it happened again today with this nephew. Thank you Gavin for letting me share this experience with you!

My rule was to shoot everyday. But rules are meant to be broken.
Today this is more important than a rule.
The Struggle
lost.
... and the angels wept.

Day 251
Friday Night Lights.
It is a small town thing, I have come to learn.
And I love it.
"14 carries for a Hi-Liner FIRST DOWN!"

Day 251
It is so fun seeing my son's football team grow and improve through the last few years of football. Their 2nd game of the season ended in a win. #42 scored one of the touchdowns this evening. I can't wait to see this team grow as players and men through the next 6 years!

Day 250
I got home from my meeting to find him like this.
He had a rough afternoon, ending in a F5 meltdown over trying to learn to tie his own new shoes, which started inside the shoe store (sorry Damon) and lasted a few blocks of downtown.
He said things he didn't mean and did things he knew would hurt me.
Sometimes we have to pause and realize everyone has struggles. Some battles may be over things we can easily do, and take for granted.
In the end we shared tears, hugs, and apologies. And, he eventually mastered those darn laces.

Day 249
I see the moon
and the moon sees me.
God bless the moon
And God bless me.

Day 248
The Duluth Depot gave me the same sense as I felt in June when I visited Grand Central Station and Ellis Island. The walls spoke the stories of people arriving and departing. Reunions of joy, and separations of sadness still clung to the vast, beautiful building that now houses several museums, a theater and ballet company. The energy of a time long past seems to live on in these types of buildings.
