Maiden Voyage

 

Beckham with his cousin Grace (5 yrs. old), headed out to sea...

(with several adults spotting of course... in knee deep water... for those of you who already think I'm a crazy Mom :-)

Headshots

I'm occasionally asked to send a "headshot" of myself to a publication or conference or church. My favorite response was from an editor - who will remain nameless - who proceeded to gently reject shot after shot I sent them, letting me know - again, gently - that they were not quite "cool" enough. I eventually broke through with a photo that passed muster, thanks to my husband's raw camera talent.

So, as I was looking through photos tonight from this past week I couldn't help but laugh at some of these "headshots" of Beckham. If anyone needs to book him for a speaking engagement - here are a couple good options. He could give a rather thorough overview of the ABC's, including A-Z, as well as as 1-10 in his two native tongues. From 11 onward, its a bit patchy... he starts equating eleven with elephant and so forth. But he really nails it by 18. Even slips it in on the way to 10 sometimes.
