Andrew

I took these photos a few months ago, but hadn't finished the series till tonight. I thought it was fitting to post a wee homage to my wonderful son as he is about to embark on a tremendous journey and we are all so proud of him.
Love you kiddo!
Good luck and safe journey... Mom xoxo

Happy Mother's Day

I am truly the luckiest gal in the world - a wonderful supportive mum and a great kid. Mother's Day for us, was supper cooked by my amazing kid... ham tetrazzini... yum, yum! Then mum, Andrew and I got to hang out and watch a movie last night ("The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" - great movie and story line... i.e. life lesson stuff - but very, very weird ending... man to baby?? i don't get that... but I digress). Today was a photo session at a gorgeous old building in my town. Beautiful architecture and of course one of my favourite subjects - "my family". Tonight a little quiet time with the fur babies in my life - all vying for attention at the same time...lol. Truly, they are just grateful I don't have the camera in hand... wee Frankie mewing constantly for attention... too cute! Here are a few photos from the day ~ enjoy!

p.s. more pictures to come in this album... :-)

Family...

This past Saturday, April 25th, my son Andrew turned 20! My oh my, how time flies. I remember him as an impish young man with a grin and dimples to that would make you smile. Not much has changed - he's grown now (over 6ft tall!), but still has that great smile and is a beautiful human being - I am so proud of this young man.

For his birthday - we took his sister, her husband, their little one (his niece) and his dad for a photo shoot. A day spent in the company of family - heaven!






I love the smile on her face




I can't take credit for this photo - Manny became the photographer so I could get a few shots of my son and I on his birthday. I remember the days when he used to rest his head on my shoulders... sigh... enjoy those early days... they don't last long...
