I love seeing the boy/man Andy is becoming. This past year in middle school has brought out so much personality in him. He wants to engage with people more and more. And his communication language has increased so much. He loves to sings, he loves music. He is good at music. He doesn't flaunt his skills for his ego. He is happy with a smile.

Nearly every photowalk, Doyle ends up lying on the ground so he can take a photo from a worm's eye view. We reached the end of the trail and realized he didn't lie down. I asked him to and he suggested this pose. The only problem was that he looked to happy. Then a dog came up and licked him.

It's Andy's birthday and he is 13 years old. It is also Mrs Karem's birthday so we had a joint birthday party at his school yesterday.

Birthday parties aren't allowed at their elementary school, the principal is more than strict. I picked up balloons, pizza and brought bubbles. The kids had a blast.

Our photowalk this week was back Tampa Downtown Market. It started to rain so we went into the musty museum to wait it out. I was glad I carry my flash with me or else I would just have blurry or blown out shots from the pop-up flash. As you can see, we had fun with the jail cell. Why does Doyle look so at ease in there?
