come back to me

norah

there are people in my life that helped me survive. sarah jane is one of those people. she was my "other" for the time I spent in the city. when I look at these photos of her newly formed family I can't help remembering all the late night conversations had where we shared the wonder at ever finding husbands or having children....would it ever happen? how? HOW? seeing her happiness is like an open ending to so many years of questions. I know her happiness will only grow.

I need more photos of this baby. her lips are seriously the cutest around.

love you bowen family.

this family represents all things NY to me. Norris is an amazing broadway performer, Jen is one of the most classy women I know...and still maintains a wicked sense of humor...and their first, beautiful, happy, charming, adorable, delectable little girl makes NY even more of a heaven on earth. how fitting that they live there. oh, and if anyone in the NY area is in the market for a chocolate fountain they can hook you up.

It was so great catching up and getting to stare at your child for a couple of hours. she is one of the most enjoyable babies I have ever been around. xxoo.

stolen from nikki's fabulous blog here.

babies, babies, babies!! how can I get one of those?

it all started in harlem..

...with dating, falling, marrying, baby making and now parenting. one of my first memories with nikki was sitting in the "full moon" talking about life one 4th of july weekend (the same weekend matt and heath started canoodling). I knew she was smart, ambitious, genuine and somebody you could trust. cameron was the one who made witty films, had witty side remarks and was the man we compared all other men too, knowing he was the perfect example of a "good guy" (seriously one if the nicest people I have ever known). this is one couple I loved before they were a couple but after moving from NY I find myself feeling closer and closer to them as they include me in their life. I loved being there on their wedding day. I loved being there to hold and kiss their first born. I feel blessed to have them as friends.

I am excited for many more moments with your family. missing little john already.

xxoo-

camp is over. I came home and took a nap for 3 hrs and then proceeded to sleep from 9pm that night till 9am the next morning. I think I was tired.

yesterday I was happy to be home but still in a girls camp haze...missing their hugs and conversation. missing the spirit they had. missing all the great leaders I worked with. we did it! and now I think I will rest for the next few months.

I have a one track mind which involves catching up with posting past events. once I am caught up, more girls camp...

in the future

I will post more of...

the kelly family

madeline & mom

nellie & kent

lisa & dave

I am off to girls camp till saturday. I feel like a horrible bad person for neglecting my blog and so many deserving people from seeing their photos. Believe me when I say it will be a welcome change to catch up on work when I am back saturday. Who knew I could miss photoshop?

until then...

don't mind if I do.
