Our Lady of Guadalupe. I love the framing flowers.

On Tuesday, I didn’t have a chance to take my walk so Brian told me I could go take an evening walk. I went to the beach and caught this picture of the sun setting. It was hard not to just take off my walking shoes and wade in the water instead.

Earlier this week I was coming home from Costco and the sun was setting over Seaside beach (about 15 minutes north of us.) I pulled over to the beach parking lot and snapped this photo. I didn’t use a filter to alter it. This is how it came out. I love it.

After a long and hard day of playing, nothing makes John-Paul happier than getting cozy in his bed with a book. The other day I was looking for him (because it was too quiet) and I found him in our bed “reading” his daddy’s book. I told Brian that maybe he would finally get a bookworm that just wanted to sit and read on the couch with his dad. He said, “Yeah, good luck with that,” as he ran to stop Matthew from jumping off the kitchen table.

Matthew loves to feed himself but it also means that we are constantly saying, “Take small bites, Matty!

I was looking through some old photos and came across this one of Bella at 3 months old. How is it that a decade has passed by so quickly?!
