Baptism Babe

Our little William turned five months! With all these doctors visits and wrangling a threenager, the time really does fly by.

Gigi & Pop Pop

by the Sea

We got invited to a friend's birthday celebration the other day at Carmel beach. We were so excited because it's a rare thing that we get invited to a Henry friendly event. Henry loves going to the beach & had never been to Carmel, so it was going to be a new adventure for him. He LOVED it.

Hello, Honey.

Are you seeing what I'm seeing right now? Look at that ridiculously perfect little sun-kissed cherub nugget of gold munching away. Don't you just want to squeeze those cheeks and smother him with hugs and kisses? I do. All the time. ALL. THE. TIME.
