welcome home wrigley!
After a way long day yesterday, which included a flat tire on the way to the airport to get the puppy, she’s finally home with us and seems to be settling in. The story so far..
I was supposed to meet Becky (who is the woman who flies all over the world to pick up and delivery animals to their new homes. When I first spoke to her on the phone, she asked if she could call me back soon as she was on her way to pick up a cat in Germany. So not a conversation I’d ever have in my lifetime!) at LaGuardia at 11:45am to get Wrigley. But on my way I got a big fat flat tire right on the GCP. So not good. Thank goodness for On Star- they sent a tow truck (because you aren’t legally allowed to change a tire on the parkway) and took me over to RedLine Tires where they took excellent care of me and got me on my way super quick with a brand new tire. Even made a nice new friend, Luz the receptionist there who was fantastic and super helpful.
Finally made it to the airport, met Becky, got Wrigley who was more than slightly freaked out. Sat and slept in the carrier on the way back home. And has been loved up by the boys (and me) ever since. No accidents in the house so far (so hoping it keeps up) and she slept from about 11:30pm until around 4:30am when I took her out. And then back to sleep until almost 8am. It would be fantastic if this all lasted! The trainer is coming tonight to get us set up and her first vet appointment is on Friday.
A few pictures from our first day.
So you get an idea of her size. And ignore all the wet soppy towels. That’s from our washing machine breaking/flooding the kitchen earlier this week. A new one was installed today. I’d say it lasting for at least 17 years was a really good run but as ridiculous as it is I’m a little sad about it dying. It always did a great job, saw us thru 3 babies and probably literally TONS of laundry.Between the washing machine, the flat tire, the puppy and all of her assorted costs- I’m hemorrhaging money this week.
She looooooves chasing Timmy around. He couldn’t be happier with that either!
Ok, gotta go take her out again. Working on client pictures this week so expect to see a few new blog posts. -
a new year, a new calendar
I love a blank calendar, but I love a filled one even more! So with that said, it’s time to fill the 2013 bsquared calendar- its now open for booking for sessions from January thru May 2013. You can find the calendar here. If you’d like to book a session, you can shoot me an email at beth beyrer at yahoo dot com, use the contact button above, leave a comment here on the blog, or Facebook me. Looking forward to seeing your smiling faces this year.
Made some changes/updates to the bsquared blog header slide show (you might be featured!), to the bsquared Facebook page header photos, to the about me page and to the pricing & packages page. Nothing major, just a little freshening up for a new year. Also revamped the bsquared magazine and the contracts, so if you are booking a session with me this year you’ll receive those in your welcome packet.
If any of you are wondering about a Beyrer family or bsquared holiday card, you didn’t miss it. I was so crazy busy this year and with the whole Sandy disaster I just ran out of time to take a picture/make a card. Well, that changes this week- I’ll be sending out a belated New Years card really soon. If you’d like to receive one and you aren’t sure if I have your address, just email me your address and you’ll get one in the mail soon. Better late than never I guess.
The deadline to nominate a family for a free bsquared mini Sandy Session is 1/10/13, so if you’d like to nominate someone and haven’t yet sent me an email or fb message (please put sandy sessions in the subject) please do so soon. All emails are confidential.
A new bsquared newsletter went out this morning. If you didn’t receive it and would like to, just click on the b2 newsletter tab to the left side of the blog.
Jack and Patrick had their interviews at Regis High School this weekend, so now it’s just waiting to hear if they made it in. Fingers, toes and everything else crossed. Any prayers or good thoughts always appreciated! (we find out for sure around the end of January. I’ll update here.)
And because a post is not a post unless there’s a picture, here’s one (or two) from Christmas. These are not the pictures for the belated New Years cards though.

the walking dead…in legos (season 3)
These are my favorites from the project.
T-Dog, Rick, Daryl, Glenn & Maggie clearing the prison.
The Green Family. 
Axel on explaining why Carol must be a lesbian. 
Some of the prison crew.
Michonne doing what Michonne does best.
Some of the Woodbury crew. Including (my favorite) Penny the Governor’s zombie daughter. 
Merle (with his new knife hand), Michonne & the Gov in Woodbury.
The Gov brushing his psycho zombie daughter Penny’s hair. 
Michonne & The Gov have at it in his office. Poor Penny. (ok, she wasn’t actually decapitated in the show but we couldn’t figure out a way to get the katana through her lego head).
The Gov and his wall of zombie heads in fishtanks in his office. This one makes me laugh (in a somewhat insane way) every time I look at it.
Back to regular non-zombie posting this weekend. On my way out this morning for a photoshoot of a family who is only together once a year. Looking forward to capturing some amazing, happy, family memories for them. Even in the cold. (I can feel the tan leaching out of my body by the second).Two other quick things- the boys have their interview at Regis High School this weekend so please send some good thoughts their way. A boy in our town who is a past client was just diagnosed with a brain tumor. Please keep Dougie and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

the walking dead…in legos {seasons 1&2}
Why yes, this IS what I do with my free time on vacation. A really fun project I worked on with the big boys who I totally got hooked on the Walking Dead within the last few months. They have caught up and we spend every Sunday glued to the TV. The lego’s were all them- I just took the pictures.
And yes, I am a total geeked out zombie fan. Take me or leave me.
Rick in Atlanta.
The Grimes Family. 
Department store in Atlanta. With feeding walkers.
A favorite scene from season 1. Rick, Merle (being handcuffed to the roof), Glenn, T-Dog and Andrea.
Daryl Dixon (ahhh…my favorite) doing his thang.
And over on the farm…Andrea and Dale on his RV.
Thats Lori and Carol in the background, and Daryl shooting a walker in the front.
A little more Daryl. 
And my favorite. 
Season 3 pictures coming tomorrow. You’ve been forewarned. -
trip to atlanta
So this trip was back in June. Yes, June. That should explain why I wasn’t able to send any Christmas cards this year. Too busy with work to edit any personal photos much.
To continue on with our baseball stadium tour, we visited Atlanta for a long weekend. Luckily, our good friends Celeste, Ryan and Peyton live there & our other friends Laura & Matt live not too far away. Laura was in town with her boys anyway so we were able to meet up with them as well.
I didn’t really take many pictures (maybe cause I knew I would just have to edit them!) but here’s what there was. And not one picture of me with Celeste. Bummer.
The kids on the way into the Aquarium.
And then before the game. 
Timmy let Pey go first to make sure it was safe. 
Then he got a tomahawk.
Love these girls so! And their mom too, even if there are no pictures.
