new old pictures

Just came across these today. I think I must’ve been saving them for a specific purpose but I now have no idea what that purpose may have been. But I love them and am glad I’m posting them now. From our October 2010 trip out east. In a no trespassing area of the docks. But really, I was actually supposed to pass up this wall? C’mon.

I’d just like to add how proud I am of my boys. Especially the big ones this past week. They are working so hard at everything- baseball (practices with their trainer), drums (in the all-district band concert and NYSSMA), school (waiting on those progress reports but I have no doubt they’ll be awesome), Jack’s starting a band with his friends for the middle school talent show,  and getting ready for St. Baldricks (getting their heads shaved this Saturday while raising money for kids with cancer). It’s not too late to donate if you are interested. You can find them here: Jack’s page & here: Patrick’s page. They have surpassed their goal, but they continue to accept donations thru Saturday. They are good boys.

In related news, I was contacted by St. Baldricks and asked to volunteer to photograph as much of the event as I can for them. They’ll use my pictures for advertising, on their blog, website, etc. They found me online and liked what they saw I guess, so now I’m in. So if you are there and getting shaved or shaving look for me with my camera and smile!

And in other news, we will be renovating our upstairs bathroom (the boys bathroom) next month. Lots of before and after pictures to come soon so be on the lookout for those. I was able to pick out everything this morning from fixtures, to towel rods, to tub, vanity and toilet, medicine cabinets, and tile for the tub, floor and accents. Bam. Done. (If only the rest of the construction process was that fast and easy, right!?)

One last thing- if you a blog stalker in the Milwaukee, St. Paul or Chicago areas and you are interested in a photoshoot with me this August, please email me at bethbeyrer@yahoo.com to set something up. Maybe I can avoid all of the baseball games and just take pictures!? I can hope.
