growing...

Forgive me for the immodest ones...I figure not many people read this and these are pictures of my growing baby more than of me! We love her so much already. 
She moves A LOT!
 Michael played The Beach Boys, Elvis, Johnny Cash and Josh Groban for her the other night. 
 She squirmed quite a bit to the low tones:)

a rainy day in San Diego

If ever the need should arise or I am somehow persuaded by my husband that we need to move somewhere there will be snow I have one condition: 
Must have these furry monster boots! 
They are crazy AND I love them.

Disneyland!!!

The happiest place on earth! Can't you just feel the joy radiating from Michael?         Oh, how I love his face in this picture!                 I LOVED watching this go down! It was one of the greatest moments of the day.I was so happy and grateful for my family coaxing him into this...  This moment may have actually been more thrilling for me than the actual ride...:) 
The rest of our day consisted of so much more that I did not capture! Gorillas and thunderstorms in Rainforest Cafe
 It's a Small World (just me and my mama;)
 Peter Pan
 Soarin' Over California (Michael holding on tight:)
 Pirates of the Caribbean
 Pinocchio
 feeling like the Sleeping Beauty castle has definitely gotten smaller!
 Sophia constantly looking at my belly
 Eli hugs (some of the greatest around!)
 funny little Stanley comments (I miss those.)
sock shopping?! ;) 
Naples pizza
World of Color show!

  My extremely generous parents invited Michael and I (and our little growing creature;) to join the family in Disneyland. It was a long day for mama but I loved every moment of it.  




We loved it SO much we decided to go back for our one year anniversary!
It was just lovely. 
We hardly got any pictures.  We just tried to soak everything in as it happened. 
I love my Michael Joe.
I thought I loved him when I was 13...does not even compare to how I feel now;)
