If only we all could forever capture our exuberance, enthusiam, effervescence, eagerness and trust and triumph of youth.
Last night, the hottest night of the summer, I captured my 6-year old grandson Andrew’s adventures off the diving board. For these photos, he had one word: “Awesome!”
Yep. I agree. But I mean that Andrew is AWESOME… and my greatest wish is that his joy on this hot summer night stays in his beautiful little soul for all eternity.

Sharon taught high school English/Reading for 30 years, and now celebrates each day writing, biking, swimming, running and enjoying her family. Mom experience? How about 4 children and 9 grandchildren. On Sharon's 57th birthday (10/6/09), she embarked on a project she calls "57 in 52"... trying 57 out-of-the-box or unique experiences in one year. In her 58th year, she ran her first marathon. This year, at 59, she's working on her first rap song!
Go Andrew. Your joy is contagious.
Oh, if only we could bottle that.
In the mean time, blogging it will have to do.
THose are the BEST shots! Andrew will love seeing them…”on Grandma’s blog page”….!
