This afternoon I headed out to New Town for the third time this week…yes…3 times. It’s a good thing I love that place, ha! I’ve always said I would never ever move that far out of St. Louis (and I still don’t think I would) but that is the ONE place I would consider moving to. Seaside (which New Town was modeled after) is very near and dear to my heart and I love any taste I can get of it! I’ve heard mixed reviews from people about it. Some people say it’s too “Stepford Wives” like, some say it’s just creepy, some say it’s weird, etc…..I just ignore them and tell myself that they’ve never experienced Seaside (at least the way Seaside was about 8 years ago), so that’s why they don’t understand :-)
I went out on Tuesday to scout out some picture spots & drop off some prints. While I was out there Allison asked me if I would want to watch Jack on Friday night because her work had gotten her and Terry tickets to the Cards game. So I headed out there yesterday evening and then went back out this afternoon to get some pictures of Jack (shown here & here ) and his cousin Jeffery. Based off of how much Jack was smiling at me last night, I knew his shoot today would be awesome. Both boys were, of course, absolute cuties and did FANTASTIC. Jeffery was awesome and even held Jack for us. Even though he was told he would get ice cream and candy out of the deal…I still think he would have done it even if he wouldn’t have been bribed. The pictures turned out great and they are going to be used for Mother’s Day gifts for their Grandma’s :-) (Grandma Leslie- you need to just act surprised when you get your gift! That’s right- I know you’re checking the blog every 15 mins to see Jack’s pictures, ha!)
I originally opened up shoots to anyone, but we didn’t really have any takers because it was last-minute and everyone was worried about the weather. It was supposed to be cloudy and rainy all day……….that ended up not being the case. It was sunny and gorgeous the whole time I was out there! We even got some ice cream (thank you Terry!!) to cap of the afternoon and it was delicious.
Thanks for being so good boys and enjoy your sneak peek!

Ok- so all the Early Grandbabies don’t want to come out and meet us. They’re really messing up all my plans and they’re about ready to get an ear full from their Aunt Liss. Oh just kidding :-)
Amanda will be induced this Wednesday if she doesn’t go before then. YAYYYYYY!!! I CAN NOT believe we are going to have twins in our family. I don’t think it will hit any of us (including their mommy and daddy, haha) till they are actually here. Sara….well, Sara hasn’t progressed much in the past week or so….and she’s not thrilled about it ;-) There for awhile we all thought Sara was going to go before Amanda because she was already at a three and having contractions and Amanda was at a one.
Well then all the babies just decided to stop moving along and just hang out.
Everyone’s plans are SOOOOOO up in the air and as it gets closer….I have no idea what I’m going to do. I really thought they would be here by now. Listen to my parents schedule (or attempt at a schedule):
Tonight- Get Molly ready for her 1st prom (awwww, little Molly is going to prom…tear) and then host a dinner for her and her friends outside by the pool with the threat of rain. Oh…I should also note that they will do all this while remaining totally calm, happy as clams & not a whisper of complaining. Seriously, I don’t know how they do it. Tomorrow- Drive to St. Louis with Ali & the kids for Bella’s last minute Bday party Tomorrow night- Drive back to Kirksville so dad can work on Monday Monday- dad will work and mom will packMonday night or Tuesday morning- Drive back to St. Louis Tuesday afternoon- Hang out with Sassy Pants (bella) on her actual Birthday and maybe take her out for a Birthday Lunch. Tuesday evening- Fly to Dallas Wednesday- Amanda gets induced (holy crap…..so excited!!!!)
Beyond Wednesday no one knows what’s going to happen. Both of them could even have their babies before Wednesday. I have SEVEN shoots in Kirksville this Wednesday- Saturday (the weekend everyone will probably go to Dallas) and then I will be bringing Molly back to St. Louis with me on either Saturday night or Sunday morning so that she can fly out to Dallas on her birthday (Monday) and be with my parents. Then I would like to go to Dallas sometime during that week to see the babies…but then again I’m flying out there on the 20th to spend the week with them and help….so do I drive or fly that week or do I wait until the 20th?? I want to go both times (because seriously…they’ll be 2 weeks old by the time I get to them if I wait till the 20th) but does it make a whole lot of sense for me to do that?? Plus, we don’t even know if they will be able to come home right away. I also need to time it right so that I can get their newborn pictures done before they get to wiggly. I’m also supposed to be going to KC for shoots the weekend of the 14th…but now I don’t even know if I can do that. Then I also want to be in St. Louis when baby Sedlak gets here and I also need to plan out it’s newborn pictures.
THEN BAM!!! We are half way through June and no one knows what the hell happened to May and all of a sudden we have 4 new grandbabies :-) hahahha. (P.S.- Baby Baylor and Briley are CRACKING me up. You have to go read Andy & Autumn’s blog).
Don’t even get me started on June. It’s going to be the biggest blur in my life. Who am I kidding????? I’m going to wake up around Christmas and wonder where the heck my summer went. oh I love it :-)
Seriously, it’s not even worth planning because we all know nothing is going to go as planned. But that’s what makes life so much fun :-)
Southwest Airlines is going to make a small fortune off the Early family this month. That’s another thing, planning the trips to and from the babies. Do you drive, fly, carpool, etc?? who rides with who??? do you meet half way?? how many car seats are going to be in the car??? do we have room???
oh man………. Did I wear you out? ;-)
Carol says
yes but I LOVE IT…….Keep us posted on these new babies, I can’t believe it is happening already as well, but what is going to happen is Sara is going to have her baby about the time they leave.
Jen says
Whew – I need a nap.
Kathy says
Lissy – take a d-e-e-p breath….now remember…God is in control…
now don’t you feel better?
Allison Tonsing says
I love love love them!! As always you did an amazing job capturing the moment! My favorite is of the boys with their heads back to back. These are going to make wonderful Mother’s Day presents for the grandmas. Thanks again Lis!
Jen Meyer says
Can you send me your e-mail? Mine is jemeyer@kirksville.k12.mo.us. I wanted to ask you about the kind of picture to send. Thanks!
Mauricio Maize says
There are definitely a number of details like that to take into consideration. That may be a great point to carry up. I provide the ideas above as normal inspiration but clearly there are questions just like the one you carry up the place an important factor will likely be working in trustworthy good faith. I don?t know if greatest practices have emerged around things like that, but I’m certain that your job is clearly recognized as a good game. Both boys and girls feel the affect of only a second’s pleasure, for the remainder of their lives.
