5 for Friday
1. First, let me apologize for the lack of blogginess lately. It’s definitely not busy season around here shoot-wise and while I do still have some stuff to edit and post, it’s not like how it is in April-December. So just hang in there with me thru the slow season where there may or may not be new blog posts everyday until I’m posting so much you get sick of me. Again.
2. Spent the entire day up at the middle school yesterday for the boys Open School Day. I was so happy that they actually wanted me there (we’ll see what happens with that next year) and it was interesting following them around for the day to all their classes. I skipped out on lunch though. And a few thoughts on the day:
-I didn’t bring the camera cause I figured it would embarrass them. I really, really wanted to bring it but I didn’t.
-I’m so glad that the school part of my life is over. So glad.
-I kept asking them when the “nap period” was. That was so exhausting. Holy crap.
-It was totally the Jack (& Liam, pictured below) Show in Social Studies. Wow, I mean I knew he was smart, especially in that subject but it was ridiculous just how smart and what he knew.
-we ended the day with a sushi dinner with their buddy Liam. So glad they are making such nice friends this year in middle school.
3. Welcomed my newest nephew yesterday! Quinn Richard was born to Gail & Joe yesterday at 8:50am. 8lbs, 7oz. 20 inches long. So he makes the 8th cousin/grandchild. And the 8th boy. No girls for the Beyrer clan. I will be taking some pictures of him really soon as will post them to the blog, but in the meantime here’s a cell picture from Joe.
4. I could seriously vomit from all the snow. And the cold. Hate all of it. And now I have what feels like razor blades in my throat, ear pain and swollen glands. Off to the doctor later this morning. Good times. The next trip to Florida can’t come soon enough. It’s quite possible that I will not make it thru this winter.
5. What my life looks like right now, and another reason for the non-daily blogging. Quickbooks. Getting info off of the big imac and putting it all in the macbook pro. This whole business end of business is SO not for me. I’d much rather be taking pretty pictures and editing. Not spending the days entering receipts, reconciling bank statements, etc. I’ve never had a head for this end of things. And I hate it. A lot. A big, huge thank you to my friend Gina who drove in the crappy weather all the way out here to help me learn Quickbooks and answer my asinine questions. Repeatedly.
Hope you all have a great weekend!

Jets, Jets, Jets!
This is what my den looked like during the game. John actually was excited. Can’t you tell?
This weekend’s game should be interesting, we’ll have a house divided. John likes both the Jets and the Steelers, Patrick is also between the two, Timmy is totally Steelers and Jack is totally Jets. And I’ll be out wedding dress shopping with my cousin Jen. I’m so excited for that!!! -
the burberry princess birthday
If you follow the blog, you will definitely remember this little burberry princess from many past shoots. And although there was no burberry this shoot, there was plenty of princess!! Katie turned 4 and celebrated in style!
They had the party at the Reebok club, which as fate would have it, is right next door to the Burberry store. 
Mom made the cake and cupcakes. So cute!!
Grandmas.
And if it wasn’t enough to have a zillion little princesses around for the party, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty came too. 
And did makeup, games and dancing. 
Happy Birthday, Katie!!! -
family recap 2010
Got the idea from the fabulous Tara Whitney and figured I would make my own. Hope you enjoy it. Wow, a year goes really fast, huh?

7 for Sunday
Sorry about the lack of blog post yesterday- I needed a day off.
1. I’m convinced I have an eating disorder. Reverse anorexia. I think I’m skinnier than I actually am. Discuss.
2. The 80’s party is coming along quite nicely and we have a bunch of people already signed up to come. I’d love to see everyone there, so please try to come if you can.
3. The world is a very small place. When I was trolling around anysoldier.com and reading some of the stuff the soldiers were asking for I came across one Marine’s page from the Phillipines (that’s where he’s stationed) thanking some of the people who sent his unit stuff. One of them was the oral surgeon who did my jaw surgery back in 1990. Who is now a lawyer. Out of the thousands of soldiers on that site, what are the odds of me finding my old oral surgeon. It’s a crazy small place.
4. That anysoldier.com site is addicting. But not really a bad place to be. So my packages for the troops got mailed out to Afghanistan on Friday and I am hoping that they make it there safe and that the Marines who receive it like everything we sent. The best part? The Marines I sent the packages to are Combat Camera!! It was meant to be that I found them and mailed the stuff to them. Photographic fate. I am really hoping that they write back to us and send some pictures. If they do and they say it’s okay, I’ll post them here. I did a little research on Combat Camera- they do carry weapons and work side by side with the other Marines on the front lines, but most of their shooting is done with the cameras, not the weapons. They said if you see them put down the camera and pick up the weapon, you know you’re in trouble. Wow, I thought it was hard photographing toddlers. I won’t complain anymore!!
5. It’s open school day this week at the middle school, where parents are supposed to walk around with their kids the whole day. Its times like these when I really need a clone.
6. It was Timmy’s Star of the Week week a few weeks ago (before christmas. And is that enough use of ‘week’ in one sentence, do you think?). Here’s some pictures from his day.
7. It’s now 3:43am on Saturday night/Sunday morning. Guess I should be getting to bed. Shooting a christening today and have 2 parties to edit besides that this weekend and Monday. Busy, busy. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. Happy Sunday everyone and let’s go Jets!
