2 Months Later...

Parents Weekend (Photo Credit: Holderness Photography Crew)

Hello! I'm back! So what have I been doing for the last two months?

Well.... as some of you know my son decided to go to boarding school this year. We are unbelievably proud of him and his decision to go to Holderness. Holderness is an amazing school, it is only an hour from home, the teachers are top notch, the curriculum is fantastic and the opportunities are endless. Holderness also has strong ties to his previous school, Cardigan Mountain School, which we absolutely loved and where Caden thrived as a day student. So far Caden has been doing great and we feel confident that this was the right choice for him. However, this was a huge and fairly difficult adjustment for our family, he is our only child and the center of our universe. And if you must know, I have been struggling with this change more than I care to admit. Some days are extremely hard. I miss him SO much, I was definitely NOT prepared to experience the empty nest syndrome this soon. Growing pains for all of us. Anyway, when I'm not wallowing in self pity over my little baby being all grown up and not needing his Mama anymore, I am working. I have added tons of new images to AEFraser.com. I will provide an overview in the next post. Stay tuned!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! Today has always been one of my all time favorite holidays! It is a night full of magic and mystery, a time to face ones fears and celebrate all the dark and scary! I loved Halloween as a kid, making costumes, collecting candy, participating in the adventure, scaring each other to death, what's not to love? Becoming a mother and experiencing Halloween with my son brought it all back. Caden loved Halloween! And I have to admit all the work was worth it when watching him traumatize the other children in his creepy costumes. I'm kidding. He was much too nice for that, no one was scared. Anyway, I had a whole historical Halloween post organized. It was about Samhain, the barrier between the worlds thinning, inviting the dead to dinner... but then I remembered you probably just stopped by to see Caden's Halloween Costumes . It's fine, here they are, all of your favorites: Ghost, Goblin, Vampire, Mummy, Devil, Werepanther and Steampunk Gentleman. Enjoy! Have ...

Practically Snow White

  House In The Meadow by Amy E. Fraser      Once upon a time, not so very long ago, a young couple yearned for a clean and wholesome environment in which to raise their newborn son. The man and woman scraped together all of their savings and put a small down payment on a beautiful piece of land on the side of a mountain, deep in the New Hampshire forest. They went through many trials and tribulations but eventually they began to build their dream home. While still unfinished, the couple, anxious to begin their new life, moved from their noisy apartment in an ancient Round House on top of busy train tracks into the quiet new house in the middle of the forest. When they arrived, they imagined that the most difficult part was behind them and looked forward to the next step in their journey together.      The house in the forest represented the dreams the couple shared for their future. However, the beginning times were very hard. ...
