Today my baby turns 3 years old. He is the craziest and funniest little dude I know. He is he life of the party and Mr. Adventure. How we have not been to the emegency room yet, is beyond me. I love you little man, I hope you have a wonderful birthday!
I have been looking into some great new products to include with my product line. I have some great samples that I am dying to show off, but first I am going to show you you this great image folio, a modern way to put your images on display. This folio is not only great for my clients, but they would make great gifts for new grandparents or the parents of the bride and groom. Image folios include a custom photographic cover and are complete with two image panels on the inside left and right. I saw this and I had to whip up a sample for my studio, my Clinton being the featured model of course.
The Surprise Family is FINALLY proud to introduce Clinton Francis Surprise. He was born August 22, 2010 at 1:17pm. He was by far my biggest baby, weighing in at 7 pounds, 9 ounces compared to my 5 lbs 7 ozs and 6 lbs 5 oz babies, but he also cooked the longest. Both of my boys were born early, so when Clinton was born after his due date, I was beginning to believe we was just never coming out. We are at home adjusting to a life of 5. The boys are loving their new brother, Kieran can’t seem to give him enough kisses. I am enjoying a little bit of peace time with my family, now I just need to figure out a whole new routine. The thought of a trip with 3 kids by myself right now freaks me out.
The story behind the name: Clinton has been one of my husband’s favorites for a long time now but was bypassed when Kieran was born. For the past month, we were down to 2 names but couldn’t decide. We figured we would wait to see baby and pick the name that suited him best, Clinton it was. Francis was one of the most wonderful people to be apart of my life, my grandfather. We lost him 4 years ago to cancer and he has been very much missed since. All of my boys carry the name of a special person in our family we have lost. It is our way of keeping their memory alive and letting them know how important they were to us.
I want to thank everyone who has sent their well wishes, they are really appreciated! I also want to thank the Doctors and Nurses at Vassar Brothers Medical Center for taking great care of us, especially our baby.

And still no baby. I originally took the month of August off thinking that like my last 2 children, I would have had this baby early, in the beginning of August, and start back to work mid September. Well, my due date has come and gone and still no baby yet. I guess he just likes where he is. I want thank you all who have emailed me for information, for being patient with me in regards to returning phone calls and emails. The last 3 weeks have been physically tough on me and I have more bad days than good.
I will be back in contact with all brides in September to make plans to meet up regarding your weddings next year and I will resume client meetings in September as well. I also want to thank you for all the well wishes via email and Facebook, they truly mean a lot to me.
Hopefully we will be welcoming a new bundle of joy into our family VERY VERY soon!
From my family to yours, we hope you all had a great Easter weekend.
