It wasn't until I turned on the game today that I realized how much I missed footbal season. Sitting here watching the Patriots tromp all over the NY Jets (21 - 7 in the 3rd as I type this)....OH Wait!! it's 27-7....I am reminded of how much I love football.
GO PATRIOTS!!!

With RJ's first week of school down, now it's Maddy's turn to have her first day of school.
She's attending a 3-day preschool a few houses up the street from us. She was so excited to go - she asked me every 10 minutes from 8:30 until 12:30 when we finally went!!! I'm glad she likes it so much.
Not to hijack her post, but RJ is loving school now, especially the new specialty classes he gets to go to - Art, Gym and Music.
Back to Maddy...here are a few choice images from her first day. Note: Another one of RJ's "smiles":
I have to share what went into this last image because it is just so cute and so indicative of the kids' personalities. Maddy wouldn't look at me so I could take her picture. What you can't see in the frame is all the other kids and teachers going into her school, so she was very preoccupied. So RJ decided to help and stepped right in front of me to try to get her to look in my direction. Of course, his shoulder is the blurry blob you see in the lower right corner, but I had to leave it in...he's just so sweet. Aren't they the BEST??!

It's now MY turn to wish a wonderfully happy birthday to my "big" little sister. Last month she saw fit to post up some images of me for my birthday, which, in case you didn't see it,
here it is.
I haven't had the chance to give her a call yet, but I will. And I certainly wish I could be there with her for her birthday. This one is extra special for her (isn't it??!). I do hope I can see you real soon. But in the meantime, as promised, here are some photos of her when she was little (actually, I picked out ones from the only time in our lives when I was actually taller than her!!!)
I love you!!! Happy HAPPY Birthday!

Last night the win by the Red Sox and loss by the Yankees helped the Red Sox clinch the AL East!!!! Playoffs here we come! Check out this picture, taken from redsox.com. The team went into the locker room to celebrate, but then took the champagne back out to the field and showered the crowd - how cool!!!!
Full photo credit goes to Elise Amendola/AP.
In a related, but silly story, I'm in a nail biter contest against my husband in the Fantasy baseball league we are in. We both made it to the playoffs and the score has been back and forth for the whole time. Right now I believe we are tied, although he has many Red Sox players who did well last night, so we'll see. I think I can win it, though!!!!
Well, I'm off to go get ready for the wedding we are photographing this afternoon. What a gorgeous day for it!

I always wish I had the time/money/energy to give to thousands of very worthy causes. I'm the kind of person who always wants to do more, but never finds the time or means to. I'm also the kind of person who cries everytime I see the Jimmy Fund ads before movies - you know the one with the construction workers who wrote the kids' names on the steel cross beams? Yeah, I cry EVERY time. So instead of just sitting by this year wishing I would do more, I decided to become a bit active in one cause that hits near and dear to my heart: breast cancer. Today I am taking part in a local walk to support a woman who is currently going through chemotherapy. I (of course!) will bring my camera and hope to post some images up tonight or tomorrow.
In addition, I'm running a promotion for the entire month of October. I will donate 20% of all deposits received in October directly to the
Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. I would really like to get a great donation together to send over. When October is over, I will proudly announce how much I was able to raise for this very worthy cause.
