a mini-session for the “rote” family
I had a mini session for Holiday cards yesterday afternoon for the "rote" family. A three year old and a 4 month old= challenging! They were great though, but the little one definitely did not like the snowsuit (it was pretty cold out) so we braved the weather and switched to a small jacket instead. The big one was a great help in holding the baby, but he is a big baby and got heavy pretty quick so I had to work fast. Grandma was there and jumped in a few shots too, but was otherwise my helper- getting the kids to smile with her singing. Worked like a charm most of the time. Hope you like them, A and can find something to use for your card.

the nev family
This morning’s shoot was for my new, good friend and her family. Her little boy is one of Timmy’s BFF’s. The two of them have started wrestling non-stop at all of their activities together. In that good, fun boy way. The boys are together 3 days a week now, and seem to love every minute of it. We even have a playdate tommorrow.
We finally got it together and the weather cooperated (for the most part as it was pretty cold!) so we got the shoot done. The foliage couldn’t have been any better. And how much does she look like Reece Witherspoon!?

I want french fries!
Just a cute little story for today.
Every night when I ask the big boys what they want for lunch the next day so I can get a jump on it and make it the night before, I hear 3 voices calling up from the basement or from in the den….
Jack: turkey and cheese (or ham and cheese, or bologna and cheese)
Patrick: turkey and salami (or turkey, salami and provolone)
Timmy: I want french fries!!
When we went to the country club all summer, he always got fries with lunch. So I guess now he thinks he can always ask for them. Well, he can always ask, he just usually dosen’t get it. It’s just too cute hearing that little voice.
Gearing up for a busy, busy photoshoot weekend (weather permitting). Two shoots tommorrow, 4 on Saturday, and 2 on Sunday. We may end up juggling some of the Saturday ones over to Sunday if the weather still looks bad. Be on the lookout for lots of new pictures coming as fast as I can process them.

and finally…shoot #4 “the fas family”
This is my oldest and dearest friend, I. We have been BFF’s since we were eight years old. She asked me to take some pictures of her and her kids. We don’t hang out enough. There is just no time. So it was a nice little playdate for us, even if it was short. Some of my favorites:

Joe of all trades
Uncle Joe…plumber by profession, dentist by action? (Not to mention- lifeguard, fireman, surfer, chef, decorator, musician, godfather, dad, husband and hula dancer). Over the summer, you might remember Uncle Joe pulled Jack’s really loose front tooth before school started. Well, Patrick’s front tooth was (finally!!) loose and bugging him a bunch, so I called Uncle Joe this morning and asked him if it was still hanging on by this afternoon, if he would stop by and yank it. He said he would and Patrick came home from school with his tooth still in. So, Uncle Joe (dentist) ran by and yanked it out. It took some doing as it wasn’t as loose as Jack’s (and made a kinda sickening pop noise on it’s way out) but it did come out. After a few short tears and some blood, we had a happy, toothless boy. Luckily, the boys had 2 friends over after school today, so he couldn’t simmer in self pity. He went right back to playing after a little coaxing.
Now they really are twins again. They have the same gaping hole in their faces, in the same spot. Can’t wait to see who gets their new tooth first. And, please God, let them come in straight!!
