Tio Julio!

Back from doing an amazing job shooting the Olympics in Rio, we had a short but awesome visit with the great Julio Cortez. We got in some beach time, and he brought some really fabulous shirts for the girls (Sophie's says "Future Olympic Athlete"!!!). #PracticingForFatherhood??

Last day of summer

We sent summer out with a bang -snorkeling/exploring/beaching/sand-castling at Blowing Rocks Preserve in Hobe Sound and then dinner on the water in Jupiter. Absolute bliss!

First day of third grade!

These beauties... my loves
Third-graders!
Pay the toll. One magic trick to get past Officer M please.
New year = new teacher!

Sophia (virtually) meets her diving idol

Sophia made a card congratulating Kassidy Cook on making the 2016 Olympic diving team. It says: 
"Dear Kassidy, 
Congratulations! You did it, you made it. All the hard work payed off. Now you are going to the Olympics. You are my idol. 
Sophia Cavaretta, age 8 
Pine Crest Diving Team 
Fort Lauderdale, FL" 
Unbelievably, a good friend who is in Rio, was able to get it to his colleague and even more unbelievably, she was able to personally deliver it to Kassidy Cook who then offered to pose for a photo with it!!!

And then Sophia's head completely exploded...
What a class act, Kassidy Cook. We'll be watching for you in Rio. Go USA Diving!
