first day/last day
I woke up at 6:15am today (which never happens cause I usually stay up till 100 o’clock every night) to take the “last day of school” picture. The only other time that ugly hour happened was on the first day of Regis for the boys back in September. No need to worry though, I did go back to bed. Today is their last day of classes, finals start on monday and by the 11th they’ll be all done with their freshman year of high school. I feel like this year was on super fast forward- I can’t believe its over. And quite a change in these boys too. They’re kinda like different people than they were in September. And way more tired.

baseball time
First a tiny bit of business:
***FLASH SALE!!*** To celebrate “opening day” of bsquared photography’s communion season tomorrow, I’m having a sale on 8×10’s today only. Normally $35, now only $25 till midnight tonight. Get in touch here below in comments or shoot me an email at bethbeyrer at yahoo dot com with your order. And wish me luck for this weekend’s madness!
Baseball season. Again. And although it is technically baseball season, the weather is sure saying otherwise. Its freaking freezing at games and practices. Gloves, hats & blankets cold. Which makes it oh so pleasant being outside watching. One game wasn’t totally freezing (well, not till the sun went down) so I took a few pictures before I fled to the car and put the heat on 90 degrees.
Some teammates. Jack L.
Jack N.
Tommy.
Took these on the way to the (very heated) car. It looks deceiving. Like it could be warm. Its all lies. LIES I tell you.

timmy & jack & james, oh my. {aka baseball, basketball & football}
Timmy is so lucky to have some awesomely good friends who both live pretty nearby. Over the break, we took a walk to Jack’s house and ended up walking back to our house with him. On the way back, we ran into James’ mom and she said he was free too so he walked back home with us too. They spent a few hours in the backyard (outside!!! freaking finally!!!) playing lots of baseball, basketball and football.
And James- he’s a trip this kid. He actually wanted me to take a few pix of him and to be on the blog. Ummmm…no one really ever asks me to take their pictures anymore around here, you know I jumped at the chance!!!
James’ sport is football. The kid is built kinda like a brick wall. One time Timmy was trying to take him down and was hanging off of him while James just kept walking like it wasn’t even happening. Hysterical!
And he didn’t get tackled here either. 
On to a few innings of baseball.
Then it was time to try to tackle James again.
Just playing. No punches were thrown. 
And a nice black & white for his mom & dad.

back to work & school again
Timmy goes back to school today after a nice long spring break for him. We’re going from sleepovers to early bed times, from video games to homework, from tv to a book before bed. Now, while these are all noble pursuits, I’m ready to be done with school for the year. I think I read 64 more days until summer somewhere today. It cannot come fast enough. Summer, please hurry!!!
(timmy is reading on a kindle fire below. a real book.)
This is the last week that the blog will be quiet. Jumping back into work with both feet (and both cameras with multiple lenses) on Saturday & Sunday for 2 communions, 1 christening and a family session (with a communion twist). It seems that its feast or famine and we’re heading back into feast mode. I’m so excited to be working again after this long, long, loooooooooooooooooooooooong winter, but please say a little prayer for my stamina. And sanity.

happy eastover!
I never, ever blog at night really but the boys wanted some of the pix from today to post so I figured since they were already edited I’d throw them up on the blog. Spent the day baking paper bag cookies and brownies and then headed over to grandma & grandpa’s to celebrate (with ham and matzah) the day. 6 of the 9 cousins were there, so it was only a matter of 10 minutes until the baseball game started.
My handsomes.
Spectators in the stands.
The closest I can get to a group shot.
