Moving Date Set

So we are set to move into the Marina house on... August 15th!

It's been a long time in the making but it was absolutely worth the wait. The amount of work that Yoko and my In-laws put into the house is astounding. What a transformation! I feel honored to be able to live there now :) Everything is cleaned up, replaced, painted, redone... it's gorgeous! I can't wait to post some after video for you all to see and compare to the one before.

I am really excited about giving Penelope something she hasn't had before - her very own room! I think we'll all be resting more comfortably after that. I'll finally have room for all the clothes this girl has too! My word, she has tub after tub of outfits! A closet will make things so much easier.

We have also made an addition to our little family.. no, we're not having a baby! We're getting a roomie :) Alicia will be moving into the house with us. She needs a better place to stay than the one she's got and I want to be able to afford all the fun things Lily has coming up like Preschool and dance classes. So it's the perfect solution for us. Plus she really is a part of our family so it won't be a hard transition to make. Lily will be so excited the first time Sheesha isn't gone when she wakes up in the morning! :)

I'll keep you all posted and get some pictures up as soon as I can.

Lily's 3rd Birthday

On Wednesday July 7th we celebrated our little Lily turning 3 years old! Yes, 3! It's hard to believe that she's gotten so grown up in such a short amount of time.

We took a trip up to San Jose to spend the day at Happy Hollow Park and Zoo, a place Shaun spent a lot of time when he was a kid. It's been completely remodeled so he didn't recognize any of it! Lily loved it, just about everything was designed for her age group so it was a wide open playing field.

The weekend after her birthday we had a party at our house with all of her loved ones. Unfortunately the kids were both battling a bit of a stomach bug so spirits were a little low and we had to ask all of her little friends to stay away, but we were very glad to have those that came. It was a Ni Hao Kai Lan theme and Lily loved it! She got spoiled rotten of course :)

Happy Birthday, Lily Raine!

Stacey Perry Photoshoot

I was lucky enough to have the best photographer in Monterey County agree to take pictures of the girls for our annual July photographs. This was also the first time we got pictures taken of the girls together. Stacey did an amazing job and I am so so so in love with her work!!

Enjoy! If you have a favorite please let me know, I'm having trouble choosing :)
