toddler & teens...

...that's what my weekend consisted of...well that and a healthy dose of family and friends =) ... never a bad thing! First we're going to start of with the toddler. OH. MY. GOSH. Seriously. How can any child be so cute??? I took this little guy's photos when he was just 4 months old and now he's almost 2! How is that even possible??? And those eyes...don't even get me started. They are just ridiculous. So to start things off, here is little {F}...ugh...melts my heart...

meet Bean...

...and part 2...the teens. One in particular...my brother. I flew up to NY to photograph one of my brother's basketball games. He is the captain on the high school freshman basketball team.  He's good. He's REALLY good. Actually, the whole team did really well...but I obviously have a soft spot for my brother. It's hard because we're 24 years apart and for his whole life I have basically been Lucas' mom (my son...a year and a half younger than him). But now that he's getting older we're starting to connect and I have to say I'm LOVING it. Okay, he might think it's annoying, but I find it fantastic. The poor kid has 4 older sisters who love to terrorize him. Now that he's over 6 feet tall he's starting to be able to take us on...a little anyway =) As much as I like to give him a hard time, the truth is that I really admire him. He has a drive and dedication to basketball like nothing I've ever seen. And not only that, he's an A student! I know, kind of aggravating to the rest of us! Watch out...this boy wonder is going places. I keep telling him that I'd better get tickets to the Final Four when he plays in it. As much as it pains him to hear it, I truly love my brother...he's just a great guy.

 my handsome bro...(yes, he WILL hurt me for that...)
