Marathon Monday

I just wanted to post a few pictures from the Boston Marathon today before I get on my flight to California.  I'm so excited to go home!

We joined Erin's family to cheer her on at the half way mark.  Good job E!

Just past the halfway mark in Wellesley.

The cheering squad.

Off to California I go!

I could get used to this...

I had a four day weekend this weekend and I must say, I could really get used to having more of them!  My house is clean, I went shopping,  I bought groceries,  the laundry is done, the house is organized,  I got to see my sister, my camera is full of new pictures, I was able to have brunch with my husband on Sunday (this never happens), and I have a new flower arrangement on the coffee table.

I went to the market and picked up some flowers in an attempt to make my own flower arrangement.  Usually, when I buy them already made I pick half of the leaves off and pull out some of the other little flowers, so I decided to do it myself since I had a lot of extra time today.  I was so overwhelmed at the market and stood in front of the flowers for about 15 minutes, and when I felt like people were looking at me wondering why I kept scanning over everything without picking any out, I just grabbed.  I ended up buying pink hydrangeas and cream roses.

The finished product.  I'm not sure if I have a future in flower arranging, but I had fun trying.

German Blues

Ok, I don't know what they're feeding them in Germany, but seriously, how do you get eyes like this?!  I couldn't stop taking close up portrait shots of these girls because they are so beautiful and their eyes are crazy!  Anyways, like I said in an earlier post, I went with these two into Boston to help them capture moments of their time here in America.  A and S came here from Germany to work and go to school. They're both leaving at the end of summer and taking back with them great friendships and many memories.

We started the day off at the Riverside T Station and from there we headed into Boston and stopped at Copley. 

I'm not sure what it is about this picture, but it's my favorite.  I think its something about her face.  It has this amazing vintage look to it,  I think.

A and S are obsessed with Startbucks and I can't resist it either so we stopped for a little pick me up and then headed to the most beautiful church with amazing old wooden doors that I loved.

From Copley we went to the Boston Common and finished the day up in the North End.

Thanks for all of the fun girls!

J and R's little surprise

I did a shoot with these boys for their Mom's birthday.  We went to a little bell tower in Wellesley, MA, and they had so much fun running around and exploring.  It was so sweet how J and R wanted to do something nice for their mom.  I hope she enjoys these pictures!

Happy Birthday.
