Michael and Cecelia: Do They Come Any Cuter?

I love my job!

I had the best time last Thursday hanging out with Michael and his little sister Cecelia. They are the children of an old friend from my childhood, Irene. I've know her since she was in kindergarten! Her children are not only beautiful but they have such sweet personalities.

When I arrived, Irene greeted me in the front hall and asked me where I'd like to get started. The light in that space was perfect, so we spent a good chunk of our time in the foyer playing and shooting.

Michael is a natural. I think he could be the next Gap model. Am I right or what?





























Cecelia is on the move! It was a challenge to get a shot of her that wasn't blurry since she was always coming or going! Just look at that face. Those big, beautiful eyes!























We headed outside for a bit to grab some shots with the leaves.





We tried to get the two kids together but they were so not interested! If one stayed put, the other took off! But I really like this shot of Cecelia climbing on her big brother.



We wore Cecelia out! She actually fell asleep with her head on Michael's hip. No kidding!



How cute is that?











I had the best time hanging with you and your sweeties, Irene! I loved looking through the photo albums with Michael. He is such a doll. Just like his Mommy.

What Matters Most...

I had the long overdue opportunity to spend some quality time with my boy this past week. The poor little guy has barely seen me for the past 8 weeks as I have been slammed at work and with weekend events since August.

It was not as much time as I would have wanted since I had to leave him for the weekend to host a shower and bachelorette party in Boston. But the time we had was pure fun and love and laughs. Not only is he the Cutest Boy I know (yes, I know, I am biased) but he is also a remarkably kind, funny and inquisitive little man and it is so amazing to watch him grow and learn.

I was also pleased to be able to get some nice shots of Finn with my Dad. This is on my list of 101 things I plan to accomplish in the next 1001 days. My parents have been watching Finn for 3+ days a week since he was 3 months old and the relationship he has with my father is truly incredible. He worships Grampa and Finn is the light of my dad's life. They are the best of friends. It makes me so happy and proud to see them together.







Finn latest favorite: Hide and Seek. He was sooo proud of this awesome "hiding" spot. You can barely see him, right?



Sweetness:



Finn loves looking at maps and wanted to help Grampa find the best route to the beach.










Finn wears Grampa's glasses. (Is it just me or does he look like Simon from Alvin and the Chipmunks?)



























Life is good:









This is what life is all about:
