Yesterday was a great day out. Temps were right, not too much sun, and the weather has been very spring like the last few days which is a stark contrast to the week before when it was terrible. Anyway, we decided yesterday was a Kami day! So we went outside in the driveway for a little bit with his favorite new toy, his red flyer tricycle, and later that day we went to the park.
He *loves* being outside... which I guess has a lot to do with his Montesorri school and the big playground they have in their backyard. Anyway, here are some snapshots of the little dude playing around.
He also left his Frog laying around... which rarely happens!
Tonight, I got a phone call I would've rather not received from a good friend.
Found out my good friend (and a wedding client) Kevin Webber passed away suddenly last night. Words can't describe how I feel right now. For the first hour after finding out I couldn't breathe, not to mention the tears, then the memories... all good. I wish there was something I could say to make his beautiful wife Nicole feel better.
He was a great friend, great person, and a great overall human being. He'll truly be missed.
I love it. Kami is growing and doing/saying things that sometimes i wonder if a (almost) 2 year old should be doing.
For example, knowing how to operate a laptop... mine to be exact. His kid one isn't good enough for him and has to play w/ the real thing.
and another, he counts to 10 in three different languages... with assistance, of course. And being the camera shy (crazy, isn't it?) person he is, I've only caught him counting to "PIIIIIIIVE" once. I'll catch him doing the other 2 languages soon, you can bet on that! But for now, he's the video of him counting to "PIIIIIIVE".
Lately, Candice of En Vogue Events has been sending some brides my way and I wanted to do something to thank her. So I suggested a photo session w/ her and her 2 little ones, which I know she loves! She agreed.
So yesterday, I met her in Galveston to take some pics. It was cold, it was windy, and it was rainy. We were out there for a total of 20 minutes and had to call it quits. Maybe soon we'll get together again and take a little bit longer and get some better pictures.
Meanwhile, here are a few from yesterday. Let me (and her) know what you guys think!
Rae and Jeff did a great job putting a wedding together in only 11 weeks! It seems like yesterday I was meeting with Rae about photography. Between that time and now, the venue changed once and we ended up at the beautiful Ouise's Table.
I have to say, for such a shortly planned wedding, it was very thought out and well planned out. Loved the church, Second Baptist Church - where Thao and I had our engagement pictures done oh so long ago - and the reception was awesome!
Thanks again to Rae and Jeff for giving me the opportunity to be a part of their special day.
This world is truly small... and I mean smaaaaaaall. Allow me to elaborate.
Layla found my fan page on Facebook a month or so ago. While looking through my list of fans, I saw her name and pictures. She had a very familiar look and last name... so I sent her a long shot email. Turns out her sister was my Orthodontist when Thao and I lived in Phoenix, Arizona! PHOENIX... I live in HOUSTON!
So today, after a lengthy email thread we finally met. She has a striking resemblance to her sister! It was great to meet her, and Laith. It was also fun to take their pictures at the beautiful Discovery Green Park in downtown Houston.
Our good friends Ali and Sara just had their little boy, Parsa. I had the chance to meet the little guy today and snap some pics of him. He's sooooo tiny and cute... reminds me of when Kami was born. Almost makes me want another baby... ALMOST!
So we took Kami, along with Tatum and Kollin to the Pumpkin patch by the Grisel residence last week. The kids had a great time and I managed to squeeze in a few snaps before it got too dark and we had to go back home!
Kami kept throwing pumpkins around and saying "bawl", and Kollin was just having a great time. Check out the big man's beenie... skull and bones. I guess thats how he rolls. lol
