It's a bird, it's a plane...it's Anthony!

Here is my baby, flying through the air (ok, so it's a little dramatic, but he did so good!) Today at the end of swimming class they got to jump off the diving boards. We'll see if he'll go off the big one tomorrow. So once again, excuse the crappy, grainy pics....

Swimming Lessons

Living at the Ocean...I have always wanted Anthony to get swimming lessons, but either lack of money or time prevented it before now..... but a couple of months ago, Papa Jimmy brought these lessons to my attention. They have them for 2 weeks in the summer...you go every day for an hour over at UNCW. Papa treated and I've been taking him - they started yesterday. Anthony has 3 other 5 year old boys in his "class"....and his teacher/coaches name is Brian..he's a red head (kinda funny). Yesterday they started out in the "regular" pool with everyone else and by the end, they had moved up to the big pool - my baby swam in 15 feet deep water!! Without any floaties or anything...but the teacher was of course nearby. Today there were only 3 kids and 2 coaches, so they were in the water almost the entire time...so now Anthony is resting...he's got to be tired! Anyways..here's a few pics from today...they are HORRIBLE quality wise, but they will be fine for his scrapbook. The lighting was awful and I was up in the spectator seats..lol.

Also, I know I have been a very bad blogger lately (on this blog), but business has been booming - it has been insane. I am so unbelievably blessed with the amount of sessions I've been hired to do, weddings, potential weddings, etc. I have been working 65-70 hour weeks and I love my job, but I haven't had a lot of time for personal stuff (i.e. this blog)...so the swimming lessons have forced me to at least sit still for an hour and watch my little man....

It's that time of year again....

My favorite time to go to the beach is when it's warm all day and then in the late evening (about an hour before sunset)...the beach gets fairly quiet and the wind blows in your hair...you hear the waves..it's just gorgeous. Tonight was one of those nights. I actually had a photo shoot with Brian's cousin and his family - "Baby" Donnie (they call him that because he is the baby of all the Donnies in the family). It's an ironic nickname when you see how tall he is. So here are a few pics from tonight....Anthony and his cousin Joey had fun playing in the water (after the shoot)...and then one of Brian and Donnie - Brian looks so small!

In a day or two, check my KMP blog to see a sneak peek from their session.

Happy Birthday Jenny!!!!

I just wanted to say Happy Birthday to my wonderful sister in law Jenny!

We love you! Have a great day!

One less tooth...

We are one less tooth around this household....Anthony lost (pulled) his first tooth on Saturday night....it was a pretty big deal! It was bitter sweet of course because it means my baby is growing up! Edwin's are just starting to come in and Anthony is losing his...geez..time flies by quick...

The tooth fairy came and left him 5 bucks! (That's all the tooth fairy had in cash...lol)

Of course...here are a couple of pics...

What a stud!

Look at my handsome boy....how did he get so big?!?
