Since I never did my 5 for friday, here’s a makeup post.  But, that means I have to come up with 7 things to post…pressure!

1. Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there. And a special Fathers Day wish to my wonderful husband, John. I couldn’t ask for a better daddy to our boys.  We had a great brunch down at the beach club with (almost) everyone. (aunt nez is home sick, and feather went down to NJ to help out her sister in law).

Since all 7 cousins were together, I also took the Beyrer grandparents Christmas card shot. But I’m not posting it so it can be a surprise at the holidays.

2. Took these at a recent beach shoot. I always get the best sunsets down there. Do we all even remember the sun??? Same picture, seconds apart, just with different processing.

3. Timmy finished up school last week. Took some pictures of his fabulous teachers and friends on his last day. He really had a great year and learned so much. His teachers just loved him to bits and I’m pretty sure he felt the same about them.

4. The big boys had their spring concert last week also which was so fun to go to. Just wish I had better seats so I could’ve seen Jack singing too. Why they insist on putting the twins on complete opposite sides of the chorus, I still don’t know. Patrick also played the sax, but was in the waaaaaay back. So much so that I could only see the top of his head. He’s such a goood boy and knows his mommy so well- he stood up at the end and smiled right at me so I could grab one shot.  And then there was the traditional celebratory carvel run. With lots of ice cream all over their white dress shirts. Whatever, it was worth it!

5. My best friend from college, Robin and her husband Joe had their baby on April 28th. At 25 weeks. His name is Eoin (pronounced Owen) and he was born at just about 2lbs. He’s doing so well (it was very rough at the beginning as you can imagine, including being transferred to Yale Hospital NICU which is about an hour away from the hospital and town where he was born and in which they live. So add on an hour commute each day, each way to the stress of a micro-preemie) and he is making great progress. Robin shared all kinds of good news today: Eoin is now about 4lbs,  his brain scan yesterday was all clear (there was concern about some oxygen deprivation/damage on a previous scan), and his eyesight developing better than they had hoped (eye damage is another area of concern with babies born that early because of immaturity and because of the ventilator). He was also taken off the ventilator via mouth today and put back on the nose only version. So the big man is making lots of progress. I can’t wait to visit him! Here are a few pix I stole off of their website. I can’t believe he’s such a blondie!!!

6. Jack got his palate expander in this week and he’s doing surprisingly well with it. A little garbled speech still and a lot of extra spit, but he’s a real trooper and not complaining about it at all. This week we start the expanding process, so the pain part should kick in. It’s not going to be pleasant…for any of us.  But he did surprise me so far, so I guess you never know.

7. and a little bsquared business….the calendar for July is really filling up (and I’m taking August off). So if you are interested in booking a shoot, you might want to do it soon. If you’d like to start booking dates in Sept-Dec, please shoot me an email at bbeyrer1@optonline.net and we’ll get you set up.
