getting ready

24 04 2009

opening day is tomorrow so this little leaguer (t-ball) will be walking in his first parade to the field where they’ll celebrate the beginning of the season. the coach dropped off his uniform tonight. we knew all the teams had professional team caps and had heard the yankees were already taken. we were relieved when we found out tonight that his cap didn’t have a red “B” on it. we also think uncle daniel will appreciate this one! ;)

first communion beauty peek

20 04 2009

ok, so once again, i find myself behind on the blogging front. i try to make it a weekly priority, but as i’m taking on more sessions and still home each day with the 2 little ones, it’s often a pipe dream. i’m not going to sweat it because i know in time, it’ll happen. for now, i’m just enjoying meeting so many new people and loving every minute of sessions with beautiful models like logan who is a natural … an absolute natural!

i knew we’d be shooting outside at some point and i was thrilled when logan chose these awesome black, leather boots to wear outside the church. what a little fashionista! more on the boots later.

an egg-celent idea!

11 04 2009

i was trying to figure out how we would go about coloring easter eggs today and not having color splotches on everything, how we could avoid the frustrated screams from a toddler who wants to drink the colored vinegar water, and still involve both kids. well, brendan was so anxious to color eggs that he suggested we go ahead and do it before kyra woke up from her nap. you know, my boy is smart! yeah, i had a little guilt … but i got over it. :)

spring break ‘09

10 04 2009

brendan’s off from school this week so the kids and i headed up north to visit the folks for a few days. pete took the train to meet us and we spent the last few days at the six flags great escape lodge in lake george. we went last year and brendan had a blast but kyra couldn’t walk yet. this year, she got to enjoy it as well as the rest of us!

granny brought the kids milk and cookies one night, and tweety stopped in for a visit the other. brendan had no idea who granny was, but still enjoyed it. kyra’s scared of all the characters and hides. lol!

everyone was a little let down when we got home today. but spirits picked up when we had a surprise visit from ang who is visiting his folks for easter from florida! it wasn’t a long visit but he’ll be back in a few weeks for his niece’s first communion.

tomorrow we’ll color easter eggs … stay tuned! :)
