For starters, we don't complain about snow or cold or wet in front of the kids. No. Cuz for my little ones this is their first or second experience of snow and whatever I say about winter is what winter will BE for them. Forever. First impressions stick the strongest. So at 8:30 a.m. during the shlepping and heaving into the car for school, while I may be thinking that the snowsuits and wet boots and fingers getting tangled up in gloves and toddlers that don't want to wear hats and I lost my de-icing pick AGAIn is making this SO much harder - we DON'T say any of that.
We talk about how pretty the street looks in white, and isn't the snow just like a blanket covering up all the cars and trees, yes, just like they're sleeping? And isn't it fun to splash in puddles with our boots and look- our feet aren't even getting wet - and yes, we could even do it thirty times and then bring all the wet slush into the car...
And licking snow? Isn't that just the best, it tastes just like water, except ...colder. Right. And we can keep licking it and never run out cuz its just - everywhere.
And snow days... no school! A day at home with Mommy. A lot of Mommy. What a treat!
So to sum up, I'm working on my "positive outlook". And when that fails, I just remind myself that pretty much before you know it, it'll be so hot that I'll be fantasizing about snow as I race from a sweltering minivan into a hot house and dive for the air conditioning...
But the good news is... snow and ice did NOT keep you guys away from the studio. Plenty of adorable children and babies visited me this month and we just had a grand time with everybody...
Here's a small recap:
Adorable twins Yitzi and Michoel came in for their upsherin pictures this month.
These twins don't look alike, but they're clearly best friends.
Michoel was cooperative, eager to pose, and gave me some gorgeous shots.
Yitzi was mischievous and funny... I had to race around to keep up with him, but nothing beats that smile.
I gave the boys a little break to play, and "accidentally" got this great shot.
This is the wall collection we designed... Mazal Tov Minzers! You should have a lot of nachas from these adorable twins!
This yummy redhead recently celebrated his first birthday.
Here he shows off his block-building skills.
We did a Designer Shot too... I just love the green against his red hair.
Now that little Moishy is all grown up with big boy hair, the Hechts returned for a family portrait.
Here's Mendy... the big brother.
Miri... the oldest. Lucky girl, she actually gets to keep that long blonde hair!
And finally little Moishy.
[This is his "before" shot, to remind you. Mazal Tov Hechts!]
I'm so lucky. I get to spend my evenings with the cutest babies... This is 3 month old Ariel.
Big boy, he holds his head up nicely already...
I know, you're going to be furious about this when you get older, but you're so delicious now... (and you can't really stop us...)
These two really stole my heart this month. Between the incredible wardrobe and gorgeous faces, they made my job a cinch...
This is my stunning new backdrop from Designer (Black and White) is this is just about my new favorite photograph EVER. Look at the expression on the boy's face... all heart.
Big sis Rachelli was a real star... cooperating through a few wardrobe changes and a million different poses...
Dovid is just a yum... And I got that dimple for you, Mom..
Here's a few more...
This is the wall collection we put together. I chose a 24x36 for the center, with long 12x18s in the corners, and neat 12x12 squares in the other corners.
That's all for now folks. Thanks so much for reading. All the best and stay WARM.
