It’s not possible. He cannot be a senior! Time flies, but it was just yesterday that Cole’s sister and I were playing around in the yard while Cole was barely old enough to walk! I consider Cole to be “an honorary cousin” as his dad has always been known to me as “Uncle Tommy” though no biological connection is there. My dad was an only child, but Uncle Tommy has always been there with him from the day I was born, so it only makes sense that his children are my cousins, right?! Ha!

Well, time really does fly and Cole really is a senior. He’ll be graduating from Watseka Community High School this spring, so that meant time for senior photos this past fall! He and his mom (Aunt Kim) joined my brother, mom, and I to hang out while taking their photos simultaneously. It was fun to see them again and the woodsy area we were in was a perfect backdrop for his senior photos! Cole has such a spirit about him and I’m almost positive I’ve always seen him with a smile on his face unless prompted by me not to. It’s amazing how time travels and before we know it he’ll be graduated and moving on to the next stage of life, and I for one cannot wait to see what’s next.

So sit back, sip on some coffee, and enjoy my favorites from Cole’s session!
