royals baseball vs. north bellmore
This game was actually a few weeks ago, but only got to edit the pictures recently. Besides, I didn’t take a whole lot of pictures that day- probably due to the fact that I was dying from allergies & benadryl. Here’s what there are.
Anthony is not only a great kid, but fast. Like lightning fast. 
This may possibly be my favorite baseball action picture to date. 
And he was safe. And I started breathing again. 
The boys will be playing again this sunday and I’ll be there with my camera. Time for new pictures. -
timmy plays baseball
Finally took the camera to a game and got a few cute shots.
Patrick and Jack have been helping out at most of Timmy’s games- coaching 1st and 3rd. 
Timmy’s friend Sean after making a great catch!
Timmy’s BFF Jack. 
Down on the pitch.
They’ve since graduated from the tee and are now doing coach pitch, so I’ll have to bring the camera again another day for more pictures. -
shooting for me & a mothers day giveaway
I really forget to do that so much of the time. But I am trying to remember to do it more often. So here are a few quick ones I took recently. And yes, it’s true there are none of the big boys in this set- but that’s because they really REALLY do not like me taking pictures of them anymore. So I have to choose my battles and save up my picture taking of them for when I really need them!
Timmy and his BFF Jack. This is the only pose I get from him most of the time now.

a visit from michigan
Jack & Patrick’s BFF and family were here from Michigan over Easter and we had a great visit with them. It’s always fantastic to see them and I love hanging out with Maureen (like the old days) and my one and only goddaughter Katie.
The whole gang (minus Timmy who didn’t want to come outside).
We took a walk over to their old house. As you can see, the boys were thrilled with taking pictures there.
We visited Beth too. Maureen lived across the street once upon a time.
Poor Finster being edged out. Like the old days when the boys would edge him out at the Thomas table.
Tough guys.
Stephen (Beth’s son). Timmy & Katie did a lot of building together. And Katie was most gracious letting Timmy beat her at the Wii. 
My gorgeous goddaughter. We went shopping, out for sushi and ice cream. So fun!!
Going back in time a little bit- this was taken right before they moved away. Omg, they were so cute. And so little.
And this was taken right before they got in the car for the drive back to Michigan. (for those of you who are following along at home, my boys are on opposite sides in the below picture from the above picture. Below Jack left, Patrick right.)
So glad we’re all still friends. Miss you guys!! -
10 for tuesday
Been a looooooong time since I did one of these- let’s see if I can make it to 10!
1. A few weeks ago, John & I went to Timmy’s school for visitors day. The program was adorable- loved the singing and the whole weather theme. Was so pleasantly surprised that Timmy sang and smiled the whole time! (he’s not much for singing in public).
2. We made sure that we got a shot of John & Tommy stuffed into the little first grade desks. Denice and I used to talk about this when the big kids were babies- so funny cause our kids have been together in classes all these years and I think this is the second or third shot of Tommy & John in the little desks…
3. Read a new book recently- Heaven is Here by Stephanie Nielsen. Totally different than my ‘normal’ reads, but it was great and very inspiring. Which I think was the point. I read Stephanie’s blog all the time so I was looking forward to reading her book about her recovery and life. Definitely recommend it!
4. The boys, John and the Healy men went to opening day for the Mets at Citi Field a little while back. They are all SO happy that baseball is back. I, on the other hand….
5. If we normally run into eachother in real life, I apologize in advance for the next few weeks. My spring allergies are in full swing and the only thing that works is benadryl. So I’m b*tchy and on about a 5 second delay all day. A lovely combination.
6. The boys are really enjoying their iphones and Timmy loves his Kindle Fire. Their favorite games right now are Stack the Countries and Stack the States. I love them too, and there are a ton of countries out there that I really know nothing about. Like Pakiscandinavia.
7. The weather here has been so nice, we hit the beach for a little bit the other day. Cannot wait until that’s EVERY day!! I finally finished cleaning out the garage from the giant purge of the winter and donated the rest of the items to the St. Mary’s Outreach Center down in Long Beach. They were so nice and very appreciative, and it was a good thing for the boys to see. Since we were just down the block from the beach, it was definitely time for a visit.
8. Saw this cool wedding seating chart a while back in Garden City and snapped an iphone picture. I wish I had something like this at my wedding- so pretty!
9. In a giant bubble war with my dad. He always beats me. I think his high score is 19,500+. So frustrating!!
10. Lots more Organic Bloom frames, window frames and a few families coming up on the blog soon. (ok this last one is kinda cheating but I’m all out of ideas). Shooting a newborn today- a big, chunky one who weighed in at 9lbs, 4oz at birth. And waiting on a birth session (I hope!) any day now…
