FOURTH WITH FRIENDS

I promised my brother that I'd update last week...and I didn't. So sorry Uncle Wheat Thin! Better late than never, I hope.

It's become a tradition for us to spend the 4th of July with our good friends Elliot and Samantha. And this year we were happy to also spend it with their sweet daughter Leonora. We had a weekend full of barbecuing, beer and wine sampling, and hiking at Garland Regional Park in Carmel Valley (and I somehow managed to only take photos of the hiking trip).

It was great to see them and we so wish they lived closer!

Noah with his buds Leonora and Samantha. We miss you guys! Come visit again soon!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas!! We celebrated yesterday and, as usual, the boys were spoiled rotten. Thanks family!

It was such a fun day, but a little bitter-sweet because it is likely our last Michigan holiday celebration. Once we move, I'm boycotting Michigan during the winter :-)

This year Isaiah is obsessed with all things Jake:

And Noah can't get enough of Curious George and The Smurfs (in fact he has declared that his middle name is now Smurf - Noah Smurf, if you please).

 Check out this Christmas dress - what a cutie!

 Oh how we'll miss these beautiful people!

Again, Merry Christmas!!!

Love, 

Melissa
