7 for Sunday

Sorry, know it’s been a few days since my last blog post…been a little busy. Here’s what’s been going on in my little world:

1. John’s Uncle Jim (aka UJ)passed away late Thursday night. He was a really nice guy and although he was mentally disabled, he was always present and happy at all our family functions. And he will be missed. The wake is today (Macken’s 2-4, 7-9pm) and the funeral tomorrow (St. Agnes, 1pm). It will be a couple of tough days for John and his family so please keep them in your thoughts.

2. We had a crazy, crazy storm here last weekend and the damage it caused was pretty bad. Lots of uprooted trees, downed power lines, other wind damage. I didn’t take any pictures immediate after the storm, but went out later in the week to take a shot of my favorite exploding sidewalk. This is like 4ft high. At least.

3. Spring is really coming. The weather this weekend more than made up for the storm last weekend. It was actually HOT out today. Can’t wait till summer, especially the pool and the beach club.

4. Made some new posters for The Turn (one with the new logo). You should head out to see them.

5. The big boys got their (extremely amazing) report cards this week.

Patrick’s said “Patrick continues to show outstanding academic progress”

and Jack’s “Jack is an asset to the class”. (by the way, how straight are Jack’s teeth already?? It’s only been 1 month and one week between this post when he first got his braces, and now. Oh, and I predicted the Mets colors pretty accurately, huh?)

I’m a proud mommy! And can continue to hope for some good academic scholarships to college…

6. And this one? Too cute for color TV. He has his school seder for Passover this week. I have to make 2 dozen hard boiled eggs. Guess it’ll be good practice for Easter.

7. I got a new phone this weekend (thanks, John!) Got the Blackberry Storm 2. I am now an official crack head and think I have it figured out.

And some new profile pictures (thanks Elizabeth) for Facebook and the blog. Couldn’t decide between color and black and white, so I did both.

I’ll be back this week with a baby shoot, a little kids mini session, and a surprise 60th birthday party. Working on editing all of those for your viewing pleasure.
