"Anjanelle"

Back in March I shared some images with you of my friends Stephanie and Bromley. She was the one with the big belly that wasn't full of beer. It was actually full of Anjanelle. Simone and I were recently invited to dinner at home of Stephanie's parents. If you don't already know, let me tell you something about eating dinner in an Italian home. Prepare yourself, don't eat for a day or two in advance. I'm convinced that there is a restaurant attached to their home that I can't see. The food comes in stages, and it keeps coming, and coming, and coming and coming, just like that crazy bunny in the battery commercial. No matter how many times I experience it, I just can't believe it. It wouldn't be so bad if the food didn't taste good, but everything is awesome.
I won't tell you what was on the menu because I'm starting to get hungry, so I'll just introduce you to Anjanelle aka "Chunka" (a nickname this poor baby was given by Stephanie and Simone)

Hunger, gas, sleepy, I'm not sure which.

Grandpa to the rescue!

EVERYONE SAY "HELLO AQUARI"

My new neighbor Aquari decided to drop in, or, "drop out" a week ahead of schedule. Dede and Jamar's bundle blessed us with his presence on the 21 st, coming in at 7 lb, 3 oz and 20", after keeping his mother busy for about 10 hours. The photos below were taken on his first full day.

He's a really cute kid.

Sierra Steals the Show

When my friend Leon asked me to take photos of his family, I had no idea his daughter Sierra would be such a natural in front of the camera. But after a few minutes it became very clear to me that Kim (mom), had something to do with that. The shoot took place in Ft. Greene Park, and considering it was the middle of December, it was a great day.

Sierra knew exactly when to pose for the camera, (when she felt like it). She knew it was all about her. We had a great time. If you want to see more, check out the slideshow.
