Gotta Love PAINT!!

2006-08-26T03:34:00.000-07:00

This has been a trying week for me as a mother.... Leo had his tonsils and adnoids removed on Wednesday and it took us all for a loop!!

PAINT makes it all better. Here are some pics of Leo and Joey making a big mess!!!

I think Leo was heading to the door at this point! We all had 3 or 4 misquito bites and a head full of sweat..... at almost 8 in the evening!

2006-08-08T22:04:00.000-07:00

Joey strolling down the street!

2006-08-08T22:03:00.000-07:00

I just like this one for some reason.

2006-08-08T22:02:00.000-07:00

A typical look from Joey.

2006-08-08T22:01:00.000-07:00

More dancing

2006-08-08T22:00:00.000-07:00

Joey was being his usual happy entertaining self here... the ride-on toy to his right plays music when you push it's nose. He decided to dance to the melody.

2006-08-08T21:59:00.000-07:00

I think this one is funny... I hope I was asking him a question, because otherwise he looks dumbfounded here?!?!

2006-08-08T21:56:00.000-07:00

Leo is always sticking out his tongue to complete a task. He is about to jump of the couch here and found it necessary to stick his tongue out to help him off!

A little change...

2006-08-08T20:46:00.000-07:00

Well, I have decided at the request of friends and family to make the "Bonifacio Blog" strictly family related. I will be posting all of my photography work on my photography blog.

www.bonifaciophotography.blogspot.com

I think this will make things more simple for both clients and family/friends. I know alot of you just check the "Bonifacio Blog" to find out what is going on with the familia, so I am going to try and make a point of keeping everyone updated on what is going on around our " neck of the woods" so to speak!!

I have been extremely busy with photography lately, that is the reason my family post have not been up-to-date. I have decided to only take on 2 photosessions a week in order to keep my family a priority. Recently, I have been pulling almost all-nighters ( if that is such a thing, does 3 a.m. count as an all-nighter?) to keep up with the work. I can't start on my photography work until after the kids are in bed, so that doesn't allow for much time considering Leo wants to stay awake until 10:30 everynight.

On another note...

Hasn't the weather been brutal lately? I attempted to take the kids outside yesterday evening to get some fresh air, but ended up coming in after about 45 minutes because of the stinking HEAT!! I have taken some recent snap shot of the kids and will be posting those over the next couple of days.

One other thing for those interested....

Recently a desire has been placed in my heart to get completely out of debt and start building wealth for my family. I had heard about a wonderful program called Financial Peace University through a good family friend Jeff Bird. He and his wife participated in taking the course and have been living their financial life by Dave Ramsey's teachings. Well, I went over to photograph there baby boy Brooks on Saturday and decided to borrow the audio CD's that are related to the course. I can't stop listening to the CD's!! This is the most important, financial life changing information I have heard in a looooong time. I am so tired of being a slave to the lender! God so kindly reconfirmed this desire he put in my heart as well. Keep in mind that I had just borrowed the CD's from Jeff & Kristy on Saturday..... on Sunday morning I find out that the Financial Peace University is being offered through my church starting on Sept 6th. This is really going to be a turning point in my life!! Thanks for the recommendation Jeff!

For those still reading.... Thanks!

Check back soon for some pics of the kiddos!

Also, you might notice that I changed my blog text to match my logo text. Opinions appreciated....

Hello!!

I finally made is back from Disney with the boys!!! We had a great time visiting Mickey and the gang!! Unfortunately... Leo was terrified of the characters... The only one he warmed up to happened to be Eyore.... I think he probably felt sorry for him when looking into his sad eyes. As some of you know, Leo is my tender hearted one! Joey was scared at first, but eventually was hugging and kissing on them! I will be posting some of my favorite shots from the trip... keep and eye out for the pics!

Also, I am in Chicago attending my best friends wedding. I will be posting some photos from the celebration as soon as I get a chance!! I am having a fantastic time with everyone!!! The rehearshal dinner was tonight and I think there were more people at the rehearsal dinner that I had at my entire wedding!! Tomorrow is going to be so much fun!!

My mom will have the boys for the weekend, along with their sitter Melanie!! I thank God for the both of them, otherwise, I would be one crazy lady!!!

Check back soon for some pics!

Long time no post .....

Sorry I haven't posted much lately, but I've had alot of things going on in my life.

Here are some links to recent sessions I've completed.

Charlie
Brandon and Amanda
Janice's Bachelorette Party
Mia
Brooks Bird

I will be traveling to Disney with the boys next week and hope to capture alot of nice pics on that trip. Be looking for post once I return.

I feel so overwhelmed right now and don't know why..... I have a "to do" list that is two pages long and all I keep doing is adding to it and never crossing anything off.

I am looking forward to my friend Janice's wedding in a couple of weeks. It is going to be at the Sofitel in downtown Chicago. It is going to be BEAUTIFUL!! I visted she and Andrew a couple of weeks ago to help celebrate the bachelorette party and I have to say, Janice looks the prettiest I've ever seen her. She and Andrew make a wonderful couple. They are always laughing!!!

I will try to keep up with my blog more often... Sorry to those loyal few(MaMa Bird) that haven't seen much posted lately!!
