    the miracle baby {eoin}

    My best friend from University of Miami, Robin, had baby Eoin (pronounced Owen) on the day she started her 25th week of her pregnancy with him. It was so scary and the outcome was so very unsure. But after 2 days shy of 4 months in the NICU up at Yale, it gives me SUCH pleasure to show all of you his pictures today (a nice birthday present for me and something positive on this otherwise very sad day).

    He is doing so wonderfully, all of his tests are coming back totally great! He is truly a miracle. He’s on some supplemental oxygen but the very lowest setting and it’s not as life support or anything, but just to help him out a little and to keep him from working hard at breathing so he can use that energy to grow and eat. Oh, and smile!

    Robin told me last night that he is now tipping the scales at 7.5lbs (he was just 2lbs when he was born in April).

    web54

    He’s totally interactive and looks right at you when you talk to him. I’m thrilled that he likes his ‘blankie’ from Aunt Beth as Aunt Robin bought Timmy his blankie. Its now a tradition.

    Robin couldn’t be more in love or happier that Eoin is home and doing great.

    And before anyone says anything about Joe not being in the picutes, he was out doing errands and got back like 2 minutes before I left. Next time for daddy! Oh, and if Joe was there, we probably couldn’t have used the apple hat that Robin wanted.

    Joe and Robin, thank you SO much for letting me visit (I’ll be staying away for a while now that my walking petri dishes are back in school cause I don’t want to bring any of those germs to Eoin). Can’t wait to see him again and watch him grow and get stronger.

    Hands had to be by her face at all times. And if they didn’t start out that way, you can bet they ended up there.

    Love all the blondies.

    Travelled out to Fire Island for this fabulous shoot. And I know Mom is waiting for me to say that this was my first and last Fire Island shoot due to the long trip, break in shooting, and walking hiking all over Kismet in the sand. But, I would love to do it again! It was so nice there and we got some awesome stuff.

    The ferry schedule wasn’t exactly condusive to the times I wanted to be there for the best lighting for the beach shoot, so when I arrived we snapped a bunch in their house where the light was juuuussst right. Then since it was way too early for a beach shoot, I went and had a really nice lunch all by myself (and with the Kindle) and met back up with the family in enough time to get the rest of the shoot done.

    How much of a cutie pie is this little guy. His mom and dad couldn’t possibly adore him more. Well, maybe if he slept thru the night!!

    bsquared 2009 holiday card collection

    It’s back to school today and the official start of the fall season (well, at least to me. Back to school = Fall). So, I’ve already started my ‘holiday season’ shoots in full force and figured now was as good a time as any to get the holiday card templates up on the blog.

    You may view all the card information, including closer views of the cards, changes that can be made to the cards, ordering info, and pricing here: 2009 holiday card collection. This is a permanent page on the bsquared blog and can also be found by clicking on the bsquared info link on the top of the blog, and follow the drop down menu to the cards link.

    Here’s a peek at all the collections. There are quite a few this year, something for everyone:

    32nd annual beyrer family fishing trip

    It’s not really a fishing trip anymore, but after years of it being one, it’s still called that. Now its a baseball game and bbq down at Uncle Dick and Aunt Cathy’s house in Pt. Lookout. The house that I love in the town I hope to someday own a house. Mayberry on the Beach.

    I think this is probably the last personal post for me for a while. Well into busy season already and have lots of client sessions to blog. Although there will have to be a back to school one I think being that school starts in 1 more day. Yay and blech all at the same time.
