August 2018

In August, Lily worked professionally for a wedding in the Outer Banks. This was her first paid photography job.

Lily and Shelly went back to their younger days and created Build A Bear animals for one another.

Lily took more photos and Shelly and Kenzie tagged along as her models on one of her adventures.

We spent quality time as a family before Lily headed off to college.

On the 16th, we packed Lily’s items and headed out in the early morning for our trip to Blacksburg. Once at Tech, we unloaded her things and she set up her room. Tears were shed on the 17th as we said our goodbyes to Lily and travelled back to VB.

Lily had her first day of classes and she sent photos with her roommate of them heading off to class. I sent them a cookie cake to celebrate the day.

Shelly and her friends attended the Falcon Fest orientation at her high school. Shelly was preparing for her big adventure to high school.

College Trip

Lily and I spent the day looking at a couple of colleges on Saturday. It was a fun trip to Newport News to see Christopher Newport University and on to Williamsburg to check out William & Mary.

We were both impressed at how pretty CNU was. It was such a beautiful day and it made the experience that much nicer. We toured the campus, hit the bookstore, and sat on a bench listening to two fellas play Coldplay on their violins. Very cool.

From there, we headed to Williamsburg. We toured William & Mary's campus and enjoyed seeing several students using their Enos. After spending some time at William & Mary, we decided to check out Colonial Williamsburg.

It brought back so many memories of my youth, as well as, time spent there on field trips when I was teaching. The weather was perfect for strolling the streets of Williamsburg and checking out the shops and people who were dressed in their colonial garb.

We had a great time together and I'm looking forward to more of these college trips with Lily.
