A couple little moments that put a huge smile on my face.

Sean doing swim lessons with Avery.



Returning home to Avery wearing pigtails (Sean did 'em) in the backpack while Sean was vacuuming.


#1 Daddy and Husband!!!!

Happy Father's Day to the best Dad ever!!

We started the morning off with coffee in the backyard while Daddy opened his gifts.




Auntie Jill and Uncle Mike started the best Father's Day tradition. The family is invited to their charming little cottage in Laguna Beach. The afternoon is spent at Victoria Beach down the street and the evening is spent in the backyard eating yummy appetizers, melt-in-your mouth smoked ribs and chicken, refreshing salad, crisp, juicy watermelon and decadent desserts!

Playing Catchup...

Here are some snapshots of what we've been up to in the last month-

A quick little weekend in Vegas for a friend's wedding....

Date Night at the Rooftop Lounge in Laguna. Thanks Auntie Jill for making it possible!


Someone would rather be standing than sitting....

Picnicking in Santa Monica

Since it was such a beautiful day when we were in Santa Monica, we decided to get sandwiches from our favorite place, Bay Cities Deli, and have a little picnic on the bluffs. We thought it would be a great moment to capture on camera. The only problem was when Sean set the 10-second delay, Avery would lose interest in the blinking light and look back at her toy.


So, he set the 2-second delay, and this is what happened....



Which self-timer setting would you choose?

"A win-win"

405+1 smart guy changing a tire in the carpool lane+4 cars slamming on their brakes (not fast enough) =

Sibling rivalry has already begun....
