My Kid is a Natural...

Lately, Conor and Caden have been SO into pictures - whether it's admiring their baby pictures and asking who is who; or wanting to immediately see pics after I take them to now wanting to take pictures themselves. I gave them an older Canon camera that we used to have in maybe, college....or just after. Remember that? Remember bringing cameras out to a bar or to a concert? 

Well the boys love using it - and some of them are actually pretty good!! Check it out!

I love this silhouette of Cal at Dunkin Donuts in Charlestown.


And this picture of Conor taking a picture of Caden (with the Pats iced coffees) is really cool too.


Then comes my favorite - a little back story. The boys have been watching a show on Netflix called Veggie Tales. It is about a bunch of vegetables that have different personalities. In the show, there is a tomato. So you can hopefully see where I am going with this...

They started a photo shoot with this tiny grape tomato that they named "baby tomato". It is unreal that they did this so well - they even gave the "baby" different backdrops like a newborn baby. They did this without any direction or information from me - this is 100% on their own. I love it. (And yes Anne, that is the blanket you made for Conor and Caden!! And Mackey - your blanket, too!)













After I got sick of tomato photos, I told him to take pics of other people and other things - this is what he came up with, I am going to call it "a day in the life of Caden Francis":

Here, we were Facetiming with Lindsey and Chrissy - and Caden wanted to take a picture of them lol.



Then we quickly moved on to pumpkins and all things fall!



I asked him again if he could take some pictures of people - so Caden took this picture of Daddy.


Then Caden took a quick turn in front of the camera. ;) 


Caden quickly traded back and took a few pics of me and Jim.


They are obsessed with these balls they got at Kendra's first birthday party - thanks, Lis!! (where did you get them!?)


A beautiful candid of me and Cal pal lol.


Oh the lovely tomato made it back in...


Papa!




And here's a hockey update!!  They are getting so much better! Uncle Joe even made it for a practice. Thanks, Joe!







All for now!
xo,

  Here is Cal’s journal :) Saturday Feb 18 We packed our big van and drove to NEW YORK CITY.  It was a long drive. We got to play the switch for a little bit, and we also rested. We got Subway turkey sandwiches on the way to New York. We stopped at a rest stop to go pee. It was crowded. Then continued driving to New York. We got to the hotel in new york and our room was not ready. We walked to central park and climbed rocks and took pictures of birds. We saw some big horses that had carriages on them for people to have a ride around the park. We went to the central park zoo but it was closed. We then found mom and dads friend Lauren and we got pizza together. Dad helped her get a taxi home. We went to bed in the hotel and saw lots of lights and buildings. Sunday Feb 19 We went back to Central Park to feed the birds and eat bagels. We had so much fun feeding the birds.  I love Mom.  I love Dad.  I love Conor and Caden so much.  I love me.  I love everyone in the world. We saw people ice

 Here is Mr Caden Francis! Saturday Feb 18 We rented a new car and packed it up on Saturday morning.  We then drove to New York.  It took almost 4 hours! We did a little bit of television, then we rested with our blankets and pillows and then we ate Subway sandwiches.  When we got to NY, we went to Central Park! There were so many birds there. We took a lot of pictures of birds at the New york park (the birds were fat). It was SO FUNNY! We then saw Dad’s friend Lauren and got pizza with her. We watched some youtube videos while we were at dinner. The pizza was so yummy.(My Favorite Bird in the world.) Sunday Feb 19  On Sunday morning we woke up in NY city. We found a place that sold bagels!!! We each ordered a bag and walked back to Central Park. We were sad when we found out the bird sanctuary was closed until 11 o'clock. We were sad but we still saw some more birds and tried to give them our crumbs. We then got in our car and started to drive to Washington DC It took about 4 h

Me and Jim have some hard news to share. We originally did not think we were going to post something so personal - but while going through this experience, I feel it’s important to share our story and hopefully help other people going through this same emotional roller coaster. It’s sad, it’s frustrating, it’s scary, and quite frankly it is ROUGH.   Here is our story - We surprisingly found out we were expecting over the Fourth of July, our favorite holiday and our favorite week with our favorite people. Naturally, it felt exciting because it was an awesome time. Nonetheless, we were shocked and terrified because our youngest is five. Quite the age gap when you have three kids in 26 months. Fast forward: On Friday, September 24, 2021, when I was 16 weeks pregnant, we found out we were having our fourth boy. We were excited and not at all surprised haha. We knew it was another boy by my symptoms and how I felt.  September 24 is my moms birthday, and September 23 is my dads birthday. Tha
