1. Timmy got new “glasses”. He’s making everyone call him Albert Einstein when he wears them.

2. The storm here on Saturday night was crazy. Luckily, we didn’t sustain any damage other than a broken patio umbrella, but this town is a wreck. So many trees down (on peoples houses, across streets, leaning on power lines) and power lines down. A few friends have no power even still. We lost power for a little bit Sunday but I think it was because they turned it off to fix other things on our grid. The wind was whipping (like 70 mph they said) and the rain was heavy, and there was even thunder & lightening. What is with the weather lately?? I hope it’s getting it all out of it’s system now, so we have a nice, sunny photoshoot spring and summer (and fall, too).

3. Lady Gaga- still not getting it. The only song I like is Paparazzi and that’s cause of my camera and paparazzi tendencies. She’s very interesting but I can’t get past just that.

4. Just booked a trip (no, not to Florida) to Washington DC for a weekend in March. Going to see my friend from U of Miami, Nate, and his family. Of course, lots of sightseeing too. Hoping that we’ll be in time for the cherry blossoms. And my parents are coming along so that should be extra fun (but NO trips to 5 guys, okay Hakka?)

5. I know there has been a real lack of blog material lately, but that is just about to change. I have 3 shoots this week (one this morning in Queens, one Friday and a party Saturday night) plus the St Patricks parade on Saturday, and then in two weeks the calendar starts getting very busy again. Almost communion season and you know how busy that is!

6.  Been watching Dreamgirls on tv the last two days. Wow, that Jennifer Hudson can sing, and Beyonce is beautiful and so talented. Wish I had seen the Broadway show. Thinking about getting tickets to see West Side Story though. It’s been a while since I’ve gone to a show.

Almost all the pictures in this post really had just about nothing to do with the 6 things I wrote about. A full recap post from Disney coming up along with 2 more videos from the trip. Later this week, I think.

On our February Disney trip, we tried something new and took the boys to the Pirate’s League for a day of Piratey stuff. They have costumes, make up, accessories, you get a pirate name, and theres even a secret room.

Timmy was SO excited about the Pirates League, and Jack &  Patrick being the awesome big brothers they are, decided to go along and get piratey too. Patrick ended up being pretty psyched about the whole thing, but Jack was definitely the reluctant pirate. You can tell from his expressions in all the pictures.

I tried my first video with the Flip camera and did some editing, throwing in some pictures and music. Don’t worry, I’m totally sticking with photography (and leaving the videos to Jerry for the client shoots) but it was definitely fun to do some video too. I’m planning on posting 2 more (at least) videos from Disney too, so be on the lookout for those. If this one isn’t too terrible to watch.

There are about a thousand pictures of the boys all pirated up, but I couldn’t narrow them down for the blog, so on this rainy day you get lots to look at and a video too.

Tell me he’s not the cutest pirate you ever saw. In your whole life even.

A happy to participate and be funny and silly at Disney pirate (and you can see what he’s going to look like as an adult a little here).

And the reluctant pirate.

Yo ho, and all that!
