The Sweet Life

The boys are out in full force these days!

First today was sweet Miguel. I’ve had the awesome opportunity to witness this little guy’s many milestones, from hearing his first cry to watching him pull up in his crib for the first time…and watching him run around the park this morning meant more to me than I can express. It is such an honor to photograph every single one of our families. Being asked to witness a child’s first year of life is an even bigger honor, and one that I don’t take lightly.

Which is why I’m so tickled that not only is Miguel going to be a big brother in the Fall, but my camera and I have been invited back into the delivery room.

Again…such an honor.

So today we played, and ran (and fell), and climbed, and showed off all of our soon-to-be big brother moves. And as Miguel’s mommy said (as we gasped for breath after chasing little man through the grass) “How will we manage to photograph TWO of these little people?”.

I laughed and suggest duct tape, and a round of martinis. I’m just sayin’…

After Miguel and his family of 3.5 I met with Jacob and Ian (I know…MORE BOYS!). And these two have a serious problem when it comes to listening to authority. Take a look…

This is me: “I don’t want ANY laughing! NO laughing boys! I mean it!!! NO LAUGHING!!!”

And their reaction:

(it works every time)

The boys also brought their out of town grandparents along, and we snapped a few with the guests of honor and then did a little ‘boys only’ portion.

We had an absolute ball, and ended up in the water at the end of our park session. There was some serious, competitive splashing going on.

And then the boys turned the waterworks on ME! (payback!)

Thanks everyone for such a fun start to the weekend! I couldn’t have asked for better weather, better timing, OR better boys to play with today.

Much love!
