home team happenings

Been so busy with clients sessions (which is a good thing) that I haven’t had a second to post anything that’s been going on around here. And as always, theres lots of stuff to report…

1. Jack and Patrick have spent the last two weeks at baseball camp- every morning for four hours. And they LOVED it! They worked really hard and got some great instruction in all areas. Patrick really did some great hitting this week (lots of singles, a few doubles and triples too!) and Jack finally got to pitch (he even struck a few players out).

The coaches put them on different teams (why???) and they had their first faceoff- Jack pitching and Patrick at bat. It was interesting- very hard to figure out how to cheer!

John stopped by the game between court and appointments and hung out with Timmy a little too.

2. I got a pedicure and went with a hot pink. I have never gotten a real color on my toes before- usually just a very pale pink. Shocking, I know. But I still keep doing doubletakes thinking my toes are bleeding. Other than that, I really like it.

3. Got into a car accident on Thursday. All my fault. Backing out of the driveway. Totally backed into a huge Yukon or Suburban. We are all fine. Funny part is that I know (sorta) the woman who’s car I backed into- we see eachother around town all the time. She was so nice about it. There was hardly any damage to her car (just one small black scuff) but my whole tailgate is caved in. Scary thing is that I couldn’t have been going more than 5 mph upon impact and the tailgate is seriously crushed. I had stopped at the driveway apron to make sure there weren’t any cars or kids coming and then it looked clear, so I went. Apparently it wasn’t so clear afterall. The tailgate opens and closes fine, theres no huge gaps and the lights work, so other than being ugly, there’s no rush in getting it fixed. Just another thing…

4. Still two shoots to be edited from last weekend. Two shoots this Saturday (one of which is in Staten Island) and one Sunday in NYC. I recounted and as of now I have booked and/or completed 105 shoots in 2008. Out of control!!!

5. Heading to the town fireworks Saturday night with the usual fireworks crew (Ivy and her bunch now including her fiance, Steve, my parents, Ivy’s parents) so be on the lookout for some new shots soon. Including the ring!!!

6. Got the NY State 3rd grade test results in this week as well. Patrick did awesome and got a 3 out of 4 in language arts, and 4/4 in Math. Jack…what to say about Jack- other than perfect! He got a perfect freakin score on both language arts and math. 780 out of 780 in lang arts, and 770 out of 770 in math! Can you believe it??  My second thought after how very proud of both of them we are was….holy sh*t!- how are we going to pay for Boston College (which seems to be the college of choice at the moment) when they do this well on their SAT’s? Better start booking lots more shoots!

7. working on the new pricing for next year with some new packages and new add ons as well. Exciting! And even more exciting… my fabulous parents are buying me a (way) early birthday present on Sunday. Pictures on that soon too. Can you guess what it might be?
