pictures

I've finally conquered my procrastination habit and scheduled Lyla's 6 month/family photoshoot 2 months in advance (I know, be proud). Now to continue that trend I'm in the process of searching for outfits for her and I that would be cute in the pictures. If you have any ideas I would greatly appreciate your feedback. Hopefully her pictures will be done in time to send out greeting cards for Christmas (another first)!

Here are just a couple of ideas for my reference:

3 years?

It's hard for me to believe but yesterday Matt and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary.  It's scary to think that time does actually fly by that fast.  Last year (while I was pregnant mind you) we partied it up in Vegas and this year (now that I'm not pregnant)  we kept it low key.  Could it be that parenthood took a toll on our spontaneity?  Nevertheless, it's always great finding those few hours of quality time to spend together.  I love you Matt and hope the next three years don't go by as fast!!!!

love. these. faces.

What a whirlwind trip!  We arrived Friday night and left Sunday morning, but Matt and I (and hopefully one day Lyla) just love the beach so we thought it was worth it.  This was Ly's first beach trip and she wasn't too impressed.  The brightness of the sun, the movement of the waves, and the HOT temps were just too much for her.  Thank goodness we had Grandma to take care of her while we enjoyed the water. 

2 months, 3 months, 4 months
