shopping...

For those that have recently looked at a calendar, thanksgiving is less than two weeks away which makes Christmas right around the corner. I really like to do my Christmas shopping early but I have had a little bit of a hard time being a fairly new mom with an infant to tote in and out of the car and stores, so I have had so much fun doing some shopping on line. So as a new mom, figuring out so many things, I wanted to share these sites that I have come across that have such great stuff and the recipient is sure to love their gift, great for purchases and for getting really fun ideas...

If there is a web site that you do really well for gifts on, I would love to have the link...

midwest, here he comes...

Kit left at 5am this morning for a speaking engagement in Cincinnati and Indianapolis...I miss him already. You would think that I would have learned to put my big girl panties on and suck it up, but I just miss him when he travels. Ryder does too, I can tell...

We miss you Kit Rae and we can't wait to see you when you get back!

date day...

Kit and I have been wanting to incorporate more dates into our routine, whether that is weekly or monthly. It has been a little hard with work schedules and this time of year's business.

So it was such an amazing surprise when my parents offered to come out yesterday to surprise us with a date day. Kit and I went to our favorite sushi place in downtown Fullerton, Chomp.

Then we walked around downtown and got a fun coffee, and did some Christmas shopping...

It was so fun to be together and to really talk and connect.

I always love spending time with my Kit...

Mom and Dad~

Thank you so much for making our date day possible. It was so fun and so appreciated! We love how much Ryder lights up when he sees you and it was so special to know that he was with you both.

We couldn't love you more and we are so glad that Ryder has you for his Mia and Papa.

Sharing the love...

Our good friend Byron, from Chicago, sent us this Cubs outfit for Ryder and of course, that led to a photo shoot.

Thank you Byron for thinking of us...

We might have a Cubs fan on our hands...

(Maybe the Cubs will be Ryder's favorite National League team and the Angels will be his favorite American League team... Hey, anything can happen.)

Happy Birthday Dad!

We couldn't love you more and we are so thankful you are in our lives. We hope that you have a wonderful day being celebrated!

I love this time of year!

I love browsing the internet when little man is down for his nap and I can't help but LOVE all the stuff associated with this time of year. Everything is so warm and welcoming. This seems to be the time of year for having people over and sharing meals together and all of that good stuff. It just makes me so happy. Plus isn't this time of year all about being with the people that you love (even if you are surrounded by those people all year long, this time of year is so special to me because it's a season that seems to high light it.)

Here are some funs photos that I found in todays browsing time...

I just love this time of year!
