like pulling teeth & a miracle update
We’re heading on up to Connecticut today to pay a visit to an oral surgeon (who happens to be the father in law of a favorite bsquared client) who will be yanking 8 baby teeth out of 2 boys this morning. Wish us luck on that- hopefully it will all go well and smoothly with minimal drama. Why go all the way to Connecticut you ask…well, when I saw the oral surgeon here in NY he let me know that it would be $2160.00 to have those same 8 teeth removed that apparently ‘pop right out’. Well, dude– if they ‘pop right out’ then why are you charging $2000??? So to Connecticut we go…
Then after that fun, we are heading over to see this little guy and Aunt Robin for some sympathy and lunch and playtime (hopefully the boys will be up for some playtime with Eoin as this is the first time they will be meeting him!!). For those of you who blog stalk, you may remember Eoin’s story (found here if you’d like to read his miraculous story of being born at 2 lbs at 24 weeks). Can you even believe the little man is now 14 months old (so 11 months adjusted age) and is doing totally and absolutely phenomenal!! He’s perfect. And so, so smiley! And quite the porker too. And the best part? No real delays, no medications, just all perfect. You know you want to just sqeeeeeeeeze him thru the computer.
I quickly snapped these last week when I visited Robin on the way home from shooting my first gay wedding in CT. Hope to take some better ones (with good light this time) up there today. The boys are so excited to meet Eoin- they’ve waited a year + to get to do it (walking petri dishes and all that- we had to be really careful about not exposing Eoin to anything germy. Like boys). Be on the lookout for some new Eoin pictures again soon.

jourdan’s bat mitzvah
I was so excited to photography my first bat mitzvah, and Jourdan’s day certainly didn’t disappoint! And let me say that there is no way that I was this poised and lovely at 13. Isn’t she awesome?!
A little review before the actual ceremony. 
The whole lovely family. 
A little love from both sets of grandparents. 
Grandma was honored in Jourdan’s speech and I think she was a little moved!
The wine is never as good as you think it’s going to be. 
Getting showered (or pummeled) with sweetness. 
Making the grand entrance to the party. 
Congratulations Jourdan! You did such a wonderful job and I know you had a great time at your party. Thanks for being easy for the pictures!! -

no email??? how 1980’s.
For whatever reason, optimum online hasn’t been working since 2pm yesterday and is still not as of 11am today. So if you are trying to email me or waiting for an email response from me, who knows when that’ll be. So sorry! If you need to contact me immediately, please give me a call on my cell 516-581-1626.
I have new pictures to post, but it’s the 5th grade graduation and I need to send a group email notification out to all the parents (which isn’t happening until optimum gets their butts in gear) so as soon as I’m back to being able to email, I’ll get those pictures posted.

boston trip
A friend and client of mine booked an extended family photoshoot up at her summer house in Rhode Island, which was great all on it’s own. But John decided that we should make a weekend out of it and go to Boston for a few days before the shoot. Good decision, JohnnyB. Well, except for maybe the baseball part of it.
So, going in order:
1. John pointed out my two least favorite things together in one place. Baseball and newspapers.
2. Love the old and new right next to eachother.
3. carousel rides by boston harbor
4. taking a break along a pier.
5. patrick on the duck boat
6. sunset over the green monstah
7. mommy and timmy at the redsox game
8. on the duck tour
9. pier on rhode island
10. the ‘real’ twins
11. jack
12. boys at redsox (we sat on the bud porch which was pretty great, but it was still baseball)
13. us at fenway
14. patrick and his mad dance moves
15. timmy was a total crack up wild man at the game yelling “YEAH” at the top of his lungs and dancing. Kept all of us entertained.
Love this one!
We started calling him FlatHatPat after this. I loathe the flat hat. 
Our duck boat commander- Capt. DuckTape
All the boys had a chance to drive the boat on the Charles river. It was too squishy for me to get up there with the camera, so this was the best I got. 
Timmy getting high-5’s and pats on the back from fellow duck boat passengers after driving. 
Love this one too. All my favorite boys enjoying their favorite pasttime. Came out so good considering it was with the little point n shoot. Didn’t feel like hauling the big guns to the park. Besides, I had to carry the kindle so I could read during the game!
