Fried.
Just feeling a little fried today. I know there are still a few of you out there waiting for your pictures, and I am working on them. I am aiming to have them all up and posted by the end of the weekend. I hope.
Things around here have been totally nuts. I purposely took this week off from shoots to try and catch up and catch my breath. So far, that’s not been happening. The Turn guys called and asked if I would shoot them while they were in the recording studio (more on that another day soon), and you know how I just love them- so I couldn’t say no. And I’m so glad I didn’t. Awesome pictures to follow soon (such a tease, I know). Today was out of control. It was Visitors Day at the big boys school and Timmy had PT and OT today so I was running all over the place trying to be with everyone at once. I still need a clone. Grandma was a total savior today- running interference and taking the big boys out to lunch. Again, more on that later with pictures, of course.
And since a post is worthless without pictures, here are two from yesterday. My niece (aka photographic protege) needed some help with a photography class project so we headed over to the park for a few shots. She took the hanging one of Timmy (in his new old school Star Wars tshirt -love!!) and quickly snapped the other of the boys.

some handsomeness
Finally getting around to posting some pictures of the boys from two weeks ago. You’ll be seeing us getting LOTS of use out of the new blazers and shirts over the next few weeks…Mothers Day brunch at the club on Sunday and then grandma & grandpa’s wedding the following Sunday. Already getting our money’s worth.
It was a good thing I took these pictures when I did, cause very soon after, they were all COVERED in tomato sauce! I must make it to the dry cleaners before Sunday!
Above, Jack looking all presidential. Below, giving the hairy eyeball. Ahhh, just like daddy.

the mol communion
Here’s another "you may remember" family, from way back when. This family is another one of my very first clients- I did a shoot for them with tons of Coach stuff (bags, umbrellas, hats, etc) as their dad works for Coach. Three little blonde haired cuties, these kids. They are just so gorgeous! The oldest made her First Communion last weekend and the party was down at their beach club. While the day was pretty chilly and quite grey, we managed to get a bunch of great shots- especially of the kids down at the beach.
Don’t ya just love the very color coordinated family? And speaking of color coordinated, check out the picture of the mom and her good friends. They said they didn’t even plan it…I’m not convinced! It was just all too perfect!
And my all time most favorite shot from the whole day…talk about perfection! I think all that’s missing is a little halo around her head!

mommy & me night
Tonight, Timmy’s class had a mommy & me night where we went to his classroom and played for an hour (please overlook the chocolate teddy grahams in his teeth- he had a snack in the car on the way over). We had a blast! It was so nice being in his classroom and seeing him in his element; playing with his friends and seeing which toys he liked the most. We played a bunch of playdough, 
he made a picture frame (surprisingly, he was wearing a pirate hat in the picture his teachers took!), he made a whole feast in the kitchen (yes, daddy, the kitchen!!), 
and grilled up a burger on the grill. 
They also did a few rounds of musical chairs (so cute!), ring around the rosy, and some hand songs.
Of course, on the way out the "old married couple" had to run on the ramp (which they are really not supposed to do). When I told them to give eachother some love, Timmy did it for a second and was ready to split. But his wife held on tight!

the boys & the turn
So ever since I started working with the band, the big boys have been on me about taking them to see them play. Now that they are playing mostly clubs (no more colleges for now), I can’t exactly bring them to a bar. So I asked the guys if they would mind if I brought the boys to a practice. Thankfully (and really, they are all so nice) they said yes so we went over tonight quick. We earplugged up, and good thing too cause it was LOUD with all that equipment in that little room and only got in about 15 minutes before we had to go. I had to make it for scrapbook class. They really dug it (even though we only got to hear one full song plus Lance & Pat jamming a bit beforehand) although they don’t look it in the pictures. Even with the earplugs I think they were surprised just how loud it really was. So they look bored, but they were just trying to cover their ears even more. They were a bit dissapointed that there was no singing (just instruments) at the practice, but they were impressed. In fact, John told me that the whole way home in the car and for about an hour after Jack was just going on and on about the whole thing. After a while Patrick had had enough and said "okay, we get it. you reeeeeeally liked the band." Well, I do too.
