5 for friday
Cannot believe it’s Friday already. Where did this week go?
1. Here are a few little shots of my new PINK bike. So cute, right?? Been riding around as much as I can with all the boys. Still not sure if I’m putting on the baby seat in the back for Timmy. He’s really so big and doing such a great job on his bike, but for long rides, he just can’t do it. I would like to add a basket in the front though. (And really, the basket should be white plastic wicker with plastic colorful daisies on it. If you were a girl in the 70’s you know exactly what basket I’m talking about!) And maybe some streamers…. (ok, kidding about the streamers. But I do want a normal basket for real.)
2. Dropped off three children to school, took the train to Manhattan, shopped at B&H Photo, took a train home, bought another lens online, picked up Timmy and went to a playdate all before 1:30pm today. Now c’mon…that’s impressive!
3. Had a great time at B&H (thanks for the company Nelson). Bought two new lenses today. The 135mm 2.0L and the 50mm 1.2L and I cannot wait to play with them both. I also picked up some little things like an additional battery pack, a UV filter, a flash card wallet and some new 2.0gig flash cards. That store is beyond dangerous!
I think I will be selling my 50mm 1.4 shortly, so if you are interested let me know. It’s the BEST lens and I will be so sad to see it go but I highly recommend it. It’s fabulous. I’m just upgrading to the pro version of it. So once the lenses arrive, I will be all L series. Yippee!!
4. Today is visitors day at Jack & Patrick’s school. Should be a lot of fun! And then tonight we are celebrating Grandma & Grandpa’s one year (+22 years) wedding anniversary at a restaurant in Queens. Pictures soon.
5. Trying to keep up with the editing from last weekend, have 5 shoots scheduled for the weekend, one Monday, one Thurs night, one Friday night and possibly another one during the week. And I haven’t seen my bed before 2am in about a week. I don’t see that changing in the immediate future.
6. (ok, I know there are only supposed to be 5 but whatever. It’s my blog, I can break the rules). My good friend Beth picked me up a great and unexpected (and unneccessary but very appreciated) Mothers Day gift. This awesome red metal bucket. She mentioned that she dosen’t know anyone else who would be so excited to get this as a gift. But it’s awesome!!

friends.
A few taken the other day, just messing around on the front porch. Trying to put some of my newfound knowledge from my session with Michael Norwood into action. Think it’s working out pretty well!!
Lots of hugs to these two and especially to their mommy. They’ve had one sickness after another the past few weeks (nothing major, just all annoying like pink eye, ear infections, stomach viruses, etc.). Sending you a virtual drink Sharon! Maybe the pix will cheer you a little.
Heading into Manhattan to B&H photo this morning for a little shopping expedition. Looking to buy some new glass. Will let you know what I get. Woohoo!!!

the schu communion
Another rain out communion day, but nothing could dim the lights shining from this little girl. She is stunning. Seriously.
Her little brother and baby sister are also so good looking. You can see where they get it all from.
The family celebrated with a BIG party at Stonebridge Country Club. There were a huge number of guests with a huge amount of love and well wishes for Miss I.
Grandparents were very happy and proud of their little girl. And the dances with Daddy and Grandpa- not a dry eye in the house.
A few more of the gorgeous star of the day. And only during the editing process, did I figure out who she looks like celebrity wise. While Cinderella was a contender, I finally settled on Rachel McAdams in the Notebook. Something in the eyes/smile.
Thanks for going out into the rain and chill with me. A, hope you think I made her look angelic like you requested. To see all of the images from the communion, please click HERE.

the bhar communion
Not a lot of boy communicants so far this season, but here’s one cutie who is all boy and was pretty happy (and a little nervous) to be making his communion last weekend.
The weather wasn’t great…in fact it was pretty bad and only got worse throughout the day. We met up at the church right before his communion mass for some shots and hid under the canopy of some pretty pink flower trees to try to stay dry while we did our thing. It worked pretty well for the most part.
The pictures are pretty deceiving. This is what it was actually like.
The bhar family are members at the same country club that we are and had their party there. I came back to the party for a few quick additional shots of some extended family who couldn’t make it before the church and some more of the family as well.
What’s a party without a really good cake!
Hope you had a wonderful day, Mr. T and family. Thanks for braving the rain with me!!
