5 for friday + rachel’s confirmation

1. I haven’t been to bed before 2:30am this whole week so far. That is not expected to change anytime soon. I’m not complaining…I’m just sayin.

2. It seems as if I’m getting at least one referral (on average) per shoot that I do. Which is so awesomely cool. My little “I-didn’t-mean-to-start-a-business-and-still-have-no-business-plan” venture is really taking off, even when I thought it peaked last year! Apparently not.  See #1 above.

3. Timmy finished up school yesterday and the big boys have 2 more weeks to go. Since Timmy’s done there will be no more editing during the day. See #1 above again, and add on at least an hour. I do have pictures of the boys spring concert and of Timmy’s last day. Don’t think I’m getting to those til next Friday though.

4. I am so far behind in editing it’s crazy. That leads to being behind in blog posting too. I know I have several clients anxiously awaiting their pictures.  I’m hurrying as much as I can (see #1 above). Really, I am. Maybe I just won’t sleep at all. Ever.

5. Looking really forward to going out with the playgroup girls for dinner tonight! Should be so fun. And filled with mongolian beef….mmmmmmmm. One night off the diet.

And finally, Rachel’s confirmation pictures. Heidi, you can stop textingemailingfacebooking me about them now! 🙂

My ‘first son’ Adam. He is now taller than me. How did that happen? Plus the fact that he is now an Ocean Life Guard- where did the time go??

Erica is a real pip (always was). And this is the reaction I got when I asked the boys to stand next to her and put their arms around her for the picture. Their first picture with another baby was with Erica when the boys were about 1 month old and Erica was 2 months old. I guess that’s probably the last one where they will not make these faces.

All the kids got along and played so nicely. Their backyard is fantastic and gorgeous, with beautiful light streaming in and sun reflecting back off the windows of the house. Niiiice! And a little hammock action is always good for some laughs.

Glad to see that Joe and Heidi annoy all of ‘their kids’ equally. This is “Rachel’s brother from another mother”. Poor kid. But I don’t have too much sympathy since Heidi chases down my boys every time she sees them (especially coming out of religion) to give them lots of kisses. Patrick resigned himself to “take it like a man” at the party since he knew there was no escape.

The confirmation girl herself. With her friends. They are soooooo 13. And when she wouldn’t listen to me I threatened her with getting JohnnyB to come out and sing to her in front of all her friends and party guests. She listened from then on.

You can see the rest of the pictures from the party HERE.
