I’ve got lots to share today, so here goes:

1. I know I have quite a few clients, prom attendees & their parents, graduates, etc waiting for their photos. I’ve been up until at least 2am pretty much every night and am working as hard as I can to get your pictures out to you. Summertime is always a little slower on the editing process as I don’t have the whole school day to myself to work, everything has to get done at night. So, just to keep you all updated, here is the order in which your pictures should be appearing on the blog. One post per day and figure a few days in there for personal posts while I edit the client shoots. Order is subject to change as well, but it’s a general outline.

Erin’s 40th

Alexis’s Bat Mitzvah

Hewitt Graduation

Elizabeth’s prom

Adam’s graduation

The Kelly Family

The Tepper Family

The Griffin Family

The DeMilt Family

Adam’s prom

2. It seems impossible that there can possibly be the sheer volume of laundry we have in this house. I’m doing at least a load a day (more like 2-3) and there is always more to do. The worst part? The freakin socks. The multiply, then divide and do some square root thing that I couldn’t calculate and ends up being 3 socks in a pair. I give up.

3. At the beach yesterday, it was a mini Ms. Jackson’s class reunion. (credit to Mary T. for the photo- thanks Mary!!) Luke (not pictured- he was in the ocean), Timmy, Mateo, Ali & Kristen. They were so glad to see eachother even though they’ve only been apart since Friday. It’ll be a great summer at the beach!!

Also pictured, Patrick with his huge sandcastle he built with Robert last weekend. They built another one today but I was rushing to make it to Adam’s on time and couldn’t take a picture.

4. John’s nasty leg and belly rash are back with a vengence. All the doctors he’s seen are saying it isn’t cellulitis again (thank god) but they don’t know what the hell it is. So they took two samples to biopsy to try to figure it out. He’s an itchy mess and I wish they could just fix it once and for all.

5. Had a date with Timmy to SushiYa and we had a great time. He chowed down on the yellowtail (it’s his favorite) and the beef teriaki (with no sauce and no sesame seeds) and rice with soy sauce. And I also spotted this awesome van in the parking lot. The name on it was Dharma Deliveries. Omg, I miss LOST.

6. Some recent flower shots. Some with the big girl camera, some with the iphone. Just cause they’re pretty. Still have to take some shots of my hydrangeas in the backyard (blue ones).

7. My friend Valerie started a blog about mom’s and their business ventures and she was nice enough to interview me for it! You can find it here: momunition

8. Spent the day Sunday at the beach with my great friend Celeste and her girls. They moved down to Georgia a few years back and the girls spend most of the summer up here with their grandparents. We all had such a great time and it was so good seeing the girls and my boys getting along so well, so quickly. They haven’t seen eachother in forever (at least 3 years) and after 10 minutes of weirdness, it was all good. They’ve known eachother since they were 3 months old and we met at Gymboree. I do love long time friends.

(ok, just ignore the fact that I’m way blurry).

9. Just so happy it’s summer! I made an executive decision a few weeks back that we weren’t doing anything this summer. No more schedules, no more waking up early with an alarm clock. Now, this has the potential to go really well or really, really badly. I’m hoping for a relaxing, fun summer with lots of last minute plans with friends, lots and lots of beach days and pool days. So far, so good. Except for some attitudes, rolling eyes and yelling (the yelling part is me) we’re doing really well. And even though it’s only been since Friday that school’s been over, Timmy has already asked when Ms. Jackson and Ms. McClain are coming over to visit him.

10. Just wanted to thank everyone who left a comment, emailed me, called me, facebooked me or told me in person on the great feedback on the birth shoot. I was already contacted by 2 expectant moms and I’m hoping we can work it out for another bunch of birth sessions!

Happy summer to everyone!! Stay tuned to the blog- lots more pictures to come!!
