Half Moon Bay

We spent our anniversary weekend in Half Moon Bay. It was a beautiful weekend on the coast - Hunter got his first pumpkin, we had an oceanfront room, ate lots of yummy food, and squeezed in a wine tasting!

Happy 5th Anniversary

Happy 5th Anniversary to my wonderful husband, Robert! 
It's hard to believe we were only 22 and 25 when we got married - now 
we are old and gray..just kidding! Here are some stats on us over the last five years.

 

1825 - days since we got married 

260 - weeks since we got married

4 - moves around the bay area

3 - years lived in SF

3 - international trips
1 - puppy
1 - baby boy
 ...and countless times I've reminded myself how lucky I am to have you as my husband. I couldn't be luckier!

Love you, Shellbell; can't wait for the next five!
PS: the traditional 5th year wedding gift is themed "wood" - stay tuned for what we chose

PC Gets Married!

Bug had his first cross country trip for PC's wedding last weekend. I was really nervous about flying with him because I was afraid he would cry the whole time on the flight. Out of the four flights, he ended up crying on one (the first). I would consider that a success! 

The wedding was great - it's always fun to see your friends get married and as the best man, Robert delivered a tearful and moving toast. Well done! 

We are so happy that PC and his wife Emilie were able to meet Hunter. PC is Hunter's godfather, so it was most definitely a meaningful trip. 

5am flight - omg

We were lucky enough to spend the first night in Battle Creek with Uncle Adam!

Piano Man

He is loving his new play mat! 
Every day I am noticing he "talks" more and engages with us more. It's fun to watch him learn and see him progress!

Wakin' Up is Hard to Do

Father Junipero's Confessor

Our friend Nick published a book called Father Junipero's Confessor and was hosting a book reading at a local bookstore last week. Grandma and Grandpa came up to have dinner with us and watch Hunter while we attended the event - so nice! It was fun to not only attend a book reading for the first time, but to attend a book reading by an author who is one of our friends. What an accomplishment!

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for watching the kids and giving us a date night!

Two Months!

1 Month versus 2 Months

Loves:

-Sucking on his hands

-Eating

-Swinging

-His carseat

-Diaper changes

Stats:

- ~13-14lbs

- ~23ish inches long

Hunter is starting to sleep in longer stretches of time, which has been nice for us. We transitioned him from the pack n' play in our room to his crib when he was six weeks old. The transition was easy and I think we are all sleeping better. Can't wait for the night he sleeps through without waking up!

He started smiling a couple weeks ago, but continues to be stingy with them! He is likely to smile during a diaper change or after eating. Such a boy. 

We love our little Hunter and get to take him on his first airplane ride to Michigan this weekend - wish us luck!
