Sunshine

We went to the park on Saturday to enjoy the beautiful sunshine.  Lately Michael and I have been missing our warm and sunny hometowns, so this sunshine has been good for both of us.

Eli loves hanging out with his daddy.

Family Photo Shoot

While we were in Arizona for Thanksgiving we were able to have our good friend and talented photographer Libby Jones take our family pictures.  She did an amazing job!  My first thought while I was looking through the photos was, "How am I going to choose the ones I want to frame?"  Over a week later I still can't decide.  I love every photo.

Here is a sampling.  

{I don't know if sampling is the best word because lets be honest...there's a lot!}

These next two could be my favorites.  I don't have many pictures of me and E.  

And just because I love his serious face so much

Libby did a great job with Eli.  He was teething and hadn't been sleeping well so he wasn't in the greatest mood.  I love how she captured how he truly is.  She didn't worry too much about getting a perfect smile.  I love that because now I can remember forever just how he is at this stage, so smiley {picture 1}, goofy {picture 2} and sometimes so serious {last picture}

Happy Birthday To...

Michael!

Even though Michael's birthday was on Monday, we used the whole weekend to celebrate! 

Friday

Date.  Dinner @ La Jolla Groves. Lemon cake. Window shopping for Christmas.

Saturday

Relaxing day followed by another night out, this time to the football game.  It was cold!  But great!

Monday

Brick Oven Pizza.  German chocolate cake.  Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream.  Friends 

Three

It's been THREE years today...

and I couldn't bee any happier or more in love.

I'm so grateful for the wonderful man Michael is and for how well he takes care of me and Elijah.

I love you babe.  I'm glad your mine forever!
