    royals baseball vs. north bellmore

    This game was actually a few weeks ago, but only got to edit the pictures recently. Besides, I didn’t take a whole lot of pictures that day- probably due to the fact that I was dying from allergies & benadryl. Here’s what there are.

    Anthony is not only a great kid, but fast. Like lightning fast. This may possibly be my favorite baseball action picture to date. And he was safe. And I started breathing again. The boys will be playing again this sunday and I’ll be there with my camera. Time for new pictures.

    Finally took the camera to a game and got a few cute shots.

    Patrick and Jack have been helping out at most of Timmy’s games- coaching 1st and 3rd. Timmy’s friend Sean after making a great catch!Timmy’s BFF Jack. Down on the pitch.They’ve since graduated from the tee and are now doing coach pitch, so I’ll have to bring the camera again another day for more pictures.

    10 for tuesday

    Been a looooooong time since I did one of these- let’s see if I can make it to 10!

    1. A few weeks ago, John & I went to Timmy’s school for visitors day. The program was adorable- loved the singing and the whole weather theme. Was so pleasantly surprised that Timmy sang and smiled the whole time! (he’s not much for singing in public).

    2. We made sure that we got a shot of John & Tommy stuffed into the little first grade desks. Denice and I used to talk about this when the big kids were babies- so funny cause our kids have been together in classes all these years and I think this is the second or third shot of Tommy & John in the little desks…

    3. Read a new book recently- Heaven is Here by Stephanie Nielsen. Totally different than my ‘normal’ reads, but it was great and very inspiring. Which I think was the point. I read Stephanie’s blog all the time so I was looking forward to reading her book about her recovery and life. Definitely recommend it!

    4. The boys, John and the Healy men went to opening day for the Mets at Citi Field a little while back. They are all SO happy that baseball is back. I, on the other hand….

    5. If we normally run into eachother in real life, I apologize in advance for the next few weeks. My spring allergies are in full swing and the only thing that works is benadryl. So I’m b*tchy and on about a 5 second delay all day. A lovely combination.

    6. The boys are really enjoying their iphones and Timmy loves his Kindle Fire. Their favorite games right now are Stack the Countries and Stack the States. I love them too, and there are a ton of countries out there that I really know nothing about. Like Pakiscandinavia.

    7. The weather here has been so nice, we hit the beach for a little bit the other day. Cannot wait until that’s EVERY day!! I finally finished cleaning out the garage from the giant purge of the winter and donated the rest of the items to the St. Mary’s Outreach Center down in Long Beach. They were so nice and very appreciative, and it was a good thing for the boys to see. Since we were just down the block from the beach, it was definitely time for a visit.

    8. Saw this cool wedding seating chart a while back in Garden City and snapped an iphone picture. I wish I had something like this at my wedding- so pretty!

    9. In a giant bubble war with my dad. He always beats me. I think his high score is 19,500+. So frustrating!!

    10. Lots more Organic Bloom frames, window frames and a few families coming up on the blog soon. (ok this last one is kinda cheating but I’m all out of ideas). Shooting a newborn today- a big, chunky one who weighed in at 9lbs, 4oz at birth. And waiting on a birth session (I hope!) any day now…

    rvc royals baseball- game one

    and game two I suppose as they play double headers each Sunday. Baseball season started and is already in full swing. John is coach the big boys Little League team and their travel team (the royals) and he’s managing Timmy’s Little League team. He’s a little busy. And it’s all baseball, all the time around here for the next few months.

    So I got to sneak onto the field and into the dugout for some pictures. And to avoid the freezing, pouring rain during the second of the 2 games. Baseball in the rain? How psyched was I? (yeah, said I…never!!!)

    New hats for the team, thanks for the awesome handiwork Ronni at SST Embroidery!!All of the coaches watching closely.



    How Timmy spends the game.Thats Timmy under the blanket on the right. Just a foot is sticking out.Someone(s) was misbehaving in the dugout, they got the evil staredown from Coach Healy.And the whole crew (except Mike who was away for vacation), after winning the first game & tying the second. A great start to the season!! Will keep photographing thru the season whenever I’m not working on game days and trying to get photos of everyone doing their thing. Can’t wait for them to go to Cooperstown this summer!Oh, and my favorite part of the day was an overheard quote from a mom explaining why her son has a broken leg- “The math team has no business playing football”.

    rvc royals

    This year the boys are playing on a NJBL (national junior baseball league) travel team and loving every minute. So yes, that means that they are playing on two baseball teams and one football team. We’re a little busy!

    After a rough start to the season, they’ve been winning some games and getting to be much more of a team. Even the losses in the beginning weren’t so terrible score wise, but winning is always so much more fun, right? After the parents asked me at the last game if the pictures from the game the week before didn’t come out good, I figured it was (past) time to get them edited and posted. So here are some from their games vs. Lynbrook & vs. Franklin Square.

    Celebrating their first win against Lynbrook.And the game against Franklin Square:

    And celebrating another win!We’ll be traveling to Cooperstown next summer for the boys to play up there. Very exciting for them!! And I’ll be there with my camera for sure.

    I’m off to Central Park today for a full day of sessions. Lots more client’s sessions coming to the blog this week…stay tuned!
