My babies are growing up!

Lately I've been frantically preparing graduation announcements - those for my youngest, Natalie, who is graduating from high school, and those for my oldest, Stephanie, who is graduating college. When I picked up photos to insert in the announcements, I looked at graduation cards, and reality hit. Now, I am not your weepy mom type, but I truly got tears in my eyes realizing that my little girls, both beautiful, talented, and independent, will need and even want me or my input less and less. After all, that is what I raised them to do! I am so proud of who each of them are, but I am already missing being as important a part of their life as I used to be. Guess this is what they mean by the empty nest syndrome!

Fenway Victory Gardens, Boston

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the Fenway Victory Gardens in Boston. I will make it a point to take pictures again in May to record the changes. So many things were budding and I was lucky enough to find a few blooming during my small, sunny window of warmth opportunity! Most of my visit was cold and wet!
