Thankful for so much!

We are so thankful that we had little Raya in our lives this Thanksgiving.

We woke up early and did a 3 mile walk. It helped mentally to know I burned a few extra calories that morning. I had done this race a few years back, although last time I ran it. I'm just still cautious about running with Raya in the stroller and jostling her all around. We all enjoyed the nice brisk walk before filling up our bellies.

After being able to catch up with my family on Facetime which helps make holidays away from home a little easier. We had a lovely dinner at Tim's moms house. Raya is getting bigger (still a peanut) by the day and even got to try a real turkey dinner of her own, the kind in the jar of course ;) Which combined sweet potatoes, turkey and gravy. She enjoyed it as she does most foods.

It was a beautiful day spent with family eating and drinking and remembering what we are all thankful for.

Happy Anniversary to us

Tuesday marked our 3 year anniversary!!

Tim made arrangements for a babysitter and surprised me with dinner at the US Grant and a movie :)

It was a delicious dinner, we shared a beet salad, I had Sea Bass and Tim had. Yummy crusted salmon. Our friend that works at the hotel arranged for the beautiful dessert which was a surprise. Don't you just love surprises?!?

Following dinner we went to see This is 40...cute movie but LONG for a comedy. Since Raya STILL is not sleeping through the night we were pretty tired but we had to take  advantage of a night out and it was a perfect way to celebrate our anniversary!

Cheers to many many more years ahead!

XO

Dropping the crib

It was only a year ago that we were assembling the crib over Christmas weekend... Well we have just dropped the crib to the lowest level ( sniff sniff) since our little sweet pea loves to climb. Lets just hope she starts sleeping through the night before she uses the rail as a gymnastic bar :)

I know I've said it numerous times but I truly can't believe how fast this year had gone. We've loved every minute and are excited for all the days, weeks and years ahead!
