Every year I do a photo shoot with my kids on their birthday (or around it) … since Anthony just turned 10 (insane, I know!!) it was his turn to get in front of the camera.  We decided to do a sports themed shoot since baseball has been such a huge part of his year.  It was hot and very bright outside, I guess I could have picked a better time then 2:30 in the day … but it was the only time to fit it in so I went with it.  Anthony delivered exactly what I wanted, some serious, some silly and some sweet.  Here is just a small sampling from his birthday shoot.               Anyone that knows Anthony, knows how sweet and gentle he is.  He is always happy to entertain a baby, toddler or his 4 year old sister, he is gracious and considerate and loves to have fun.   Anthony has been a blessing since the moment he came into this world, Joe and I can’t even describe in words what a gift he is, we can only be thankful every day that we have him in our life!

    I LOVE all of those pictures, they capture Anthony perfectly! I don’t know Anthony well but every time I’ve been around him he has been JUST as you described, he is a sweet boy Shannon.

    What a sweet tribute, in both words and photographs, of your son. Though he may get older and squeemish with sweet sentiments, he will love reading this later.
