6 for saturday

1. Feeling absolutely SO totally overwhelmed lately and realizing that there are not nearly enough hours in the day to get even half of what needs to get done, done. And going to that bad place where you can’t even figure out where to start as there is just so much to do. Need to breathe.

2. Realized that since I’ve been so busy that I haven’t really taken any pictures of the boys where there wasn’t an event. Just taken out the camera and started snapping away at home. So I did. We got a 15 minute break in the rain so went outside to take a few.

3. About 20 minutes after taking these, Timmy took a header down the ramp at my parent’s apartment building while running at full speed and hitting a patch of sand at the bottom. He scraped his nose and lip really good and was all scabbed up for a while. But these were favorites all taken with the 135mm L lens. Yum.

4. If it keeps raining, I’m going to really seriously and totally lose my mind. And I’m not even kidding. So glad we put in a brand new inground sprinkler system (that has not turned on once since installation 3 weeks ago) and paid for the beach and country clubs for the summer. What summer, I ask you??

5. The boys made it to the playoffs (to the 3rd round) for Little Leauge this year and I was so happy that I actually made one game that I could watch! I left Timmy with my parents and got to see Jack pitch and both of them hit singles. There are tons of pictures below to make up for all the games I missed this year! Unfortunately, they lost but they played really well (and bummed I missed the game where Jack pitched 3 innings, 2 of which were no-hitters!) and they left pretty happy with what they accomplished this year. They will also be playing on a travel team this summer as well as doing a 2 week baseball camp and playing in the Summer SandLot games too. It’s all baseball, all the time here. Funny, but you know how I loathe baseball normally? I actually like watching them play!

6. All of my shoots today except for one rescheduled. I had one family reschedule cause the baby has one rainbow colored black eye, and the other family was going to be an extended family shoot where everyone was coming in from DC and Atlanta. The DC contingent made it, but due to the crappy weather (of course) the Atlanta family flew out, made it to N. Carolina where they circled til they ran out of fuel and landed right back in Atlanta instead of LaGuardia. Heading up to Conneticut to visit Robin and drop off a crib to her and then over 2 towns to a shoot for a highschool friend and her family.

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend and that it dosen’t rain. Again.
