NYC day (fao schwarz)
Second stop on the city tour was a visit to FAO. The big boys had been there once before when they were little, but I don’t think they remembered. I told them all that it was a “looking only” trip, no buying involved. And they actually went along with it.
Good thing too, cause I couldn’t have afforded anything in there anyway. Like the $27,000.00 Lego Batman.
Love the Lego Harry Potter characters.
And the Big Piano- always fun!
Tommorrow…more of the NYC trip. Stay tuned.

the gazillion bubble show
On Saturday I decided to take all the boys into the city for a fun day of playing tourist. After seeing the commercial for the bubble show on TV a gazillion times, I bought some tickets for us to go see it. We combined it all into one day.
I was so brave…not only did I drive into NYC (with no accidental side trips to NJ), I took all 3 boys in by MYSELF. John wasn’t feeling up to it (and I don’t think he was into a gazillion bubbles, nor any other number of bubbles to be honest) and had to work. Well, I did it and it was all good. I can definitely do that again.
The show was really cute and the boys (and I) really enjoyed it. The bubble guy had some crazy background like Vietnamese, Yugoslavian married an Italian girl and lives in Switzerland. Guess you would have to live in neutral territory with that many cultures involved. The things he did with the bubbles were all so cool. And yes, there really were a gazillion of them. At least.
Pictures from the rest of the day’s adventures coming up this week.
After the whole day in the city (we left at 9:30am and didn’t get home til after 5pm) I shot the Dancing with the Teachers /RVC Education Foundation Gala til 11:30 that night. And somehow I even made it out of my pj’s today. Eventually.

the walk family
This family was gifted with a bsquared session and they decided to call it in just in time for their cutie pie daughter’s first birthday. They live just a few blocks from me but we had never met before. Glad we did now.
They are all so nice and accommodating- even the dog was nice! I do have to say that if we ever get a dog, this breed is high on the list. Such personality and a big love too.
Can you even stand the baby blues on her? You can just tell how very much she is loved.
They have a great sunporch in the front of the house with tons of light streaming in. Unfortunately it was freezing the day of the shoot so we could only stay out there for a little while. But I did get some good ones (and froze my tush on the slate floor) before we headed back inside.
So nice meeting you Walk family! Hope to see you around the neighborhood. Oh, and see- no coverup needed on the scratch!

done with this
From our most recent snow storm. The view from my front door. Something I would be happy not seeing again until December.
So completely OVER winter.
Heading into Manhattan today with the boys to see The Gazillion Bubble Show and do something else fun (still undecided what at this point- maybe a carriage ride or a trip to FAO Schwarz or a run into Central Park). Should be fun and exhausting. I’m just hoping it all runs smoothly since there are no other adults coming along. And I’m also hoping there are no further accidental detours to New Jersey.
Then tonight I’m shooting at the Education Foundation Gala where the “Dancing with the Teachers” will be showing their stuff.
A nice, quiet day planned for Sunday. Gonna need it, I think. Have a nice weekend!

the argo family christening
I should really preface the title by saying the 3rd christening. Unfortunately, I was away during the actual christening, but mom asked me to come take pictures when I got back. The newest baby (I shot her older sister’s christening last year at this time) was dressed back up in all her lovliness, along with the rest of this gorgeous family. Seriously, so good looking, right?
I do adore photographing these girls. They are so fantastic and photogenic and just fun. The middle one is a HAM and was so upset when her turn was over that I just had to keep going. Really, fine by me. And the older one is just so gorgeous and has a personality to match. She used to be so shy of me but now I think she really likes it when I come to take pictures. (can you blame her?- she gets to jump on the bed and other off limits things when I’m there).
And the baby? Just yum!
