Eric and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary! We didn’t want to do anything crazy. We just wanted to spend the day appreciating all the little and big things that we have done together over the past 5 years. This year we are especially grateful for our daughter, the cutest, most smiley, gleeful little girl in the world. We woke up feeling very nostalgic. So we jumped in the car and headed up to West Park Winery for a little picnic on the hilltop where we got married. It was blazing hot, much like our wedding day. We both tried so hard to pretend that this was uber romantic and such an amazing moment. Which it was. But there was no hiding the feeling that you walked into a sauna with a snow suit on. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful day to take a drive with the AC on full blast and recap our wedding highlights. We also spent the day watching Marlie TV – which basically means we sat on the floor watching her every move for hours, never getting bored of her entertainment. She’s a hoot – clapping, waving, saying dada, screeching at the highest octave possible, and she does the wounded soldier crawl now too. Marlie’s about 7.5 months in these shots, loving every minute of life, and making our world super special.
