Photo Shoot

Our precious daughter had her first photo shoot at four days old. Here are the wonderful pictures that my friend Brigett took on Norah Belle. 

Enjoy!

Birthdays, Beaches and Blue Skies

We headed to the beach for my birthday present from Brian. Spent one night overlooking the ocean. God granted us with some pretty nice weather, especially for November! 

Trying to help Norah out since the sunshine was soooo bright. She didn't really like wearing the sunglasses though. 

Brian's new hobby whenever we go to the beach is to rent a skimboard and go at the waves! Brr, But the wet suit keeps him warm, or so he says.

He also just likes to play in the waves. I do too, but I only like it when the water is much warmer.

Norah just waking up after our little walk. She almost always falls asleep in the Ergo carrier.

We enjoyed our short stay and will go again. Onwards to the holidays!

Our Yearly Pumpkin Carving

Traditions. We have carved pumpkins for as long as I can remember. I remember stepping in an Atlantic Giant pumpkin when I was probably in 1st grade or so. Well, we have continued this particular tradition and I am happy about it. A few days before Halloween we (my sister and her kids) and Brian, Norah and I all met at my mom's house for our annual pumpkin carving.
