Emma is growing!

So, with our anniversary on Wednesday, and the huge blessing of Tyler being off from work with us...and the fact that this week is it (sad face), and he goes back to the grind on Tuesday, Mr Tyler decided to take Emma and I to Napa for a few days!

here she is in a new little outfit we dressed her in

...and a close up ;)

Emma and I at one of my new favorite places - the Ceja tasting room downtown Napa. Seriously, if you're ever in that area, it's a must stop place!

and last night, little Emma being held by Tia Diana at Tio Chico's bday party :)

She is just so much fun :) Her eyebrows are starting to get a little brown (they'd been blond up to this point), her eyes are dark yet clear blue, she's starting to smile more and just being more observant of noises and people. This am during our 5 o'clock feeding, she was super smiley and even giggled a bit...she actually didn't fall back asleep after the 8 o'clock feeding, so it was fun to just have her be around with us watching everything, yet not being fussy or anything :)

I have found myself calling her little nick-names: Emma-Lou and Emma Lou-Lou. Tyler and I have also both been calling her baby :)

I know everyone continues to say that times goes by so quickly and to enjoy her thoroughly...this morning, after realizing how much she's grown since the first time I held her, I wanted to just hire someone to take care of the house stuff for a year so I can just sit, observe and be with Emma during this year...ok, ok, I should be satisfied enough with the fact that I am currently not working ;) I know!

...Back I go to try to organize what we have in her room, and figure out what else we need to either add to our registry (so we can get the lovely discount) or buy to make her room complete! Hope y'all are having a great weekend!!

OH - and here's a sneak peak of the photo shoot we had yesterday with Megan!

...don't be surprised if we use one like this for the birth announcements that will be going out soon! :)

It's our anniversary

I cannot believe it's that time of year again! Where has the time gone?! Well, I guess we can all see where this last year has gone :)

3 years ago, Tyler and I were off to the Bahamas for our wedding and fab honeymoon. We wish we could go back there every year to relive it all (OK, we're OK with just going back for the all inclusive amenities and the amazing beach!).

As we are out celebrating this anniversary with our little Emma, we leave you with a little slide show of our wedding pics.

We had such a whirlwind courtship and engagement (to most standards)...but when God makes a plan, we should certainly not get in His way, right?! :) We are so grateful to have had Him directing our relationship from the get-go, praying each step that we took, working on marriage aspects in our relationship just a month after we 'officially' started dating (going through the 'Saving your marriage before it starts' book by the Parrotts)...Thanks to all for prayers, encouragement and advice given to shape our relationship over the past 3 + years. Your continued support, encouragement and most importantly prayers, as we continue on our journey are so appreciated (and needed, of course!). Thank you to all reading this, for being a part of our lives!
