i had so much fun taking pictures of these 5 little beauties...

trip to the airport

we spent a wonderful 4 days in san diego this past weekend.
the last trip we made down south was for christmas.
needless to say, we were in need of a little san diego rejuvination.

i was so grateful for a few extra hands to help with the girls.
it was so much fun to dust my camera back off and take a few pictures, capture some precious moments.

the highlight of the first day was our trip to pick up grandpa.
the girls LOVE the airport.

weekend randomness

i am having a hard time finding the chance to blog these days...
actually finding the chance to do anything other than all things mommy.
i attempt to capture those precious moments of the girls throughout the day,
however, they often times have other plans, plans that do not involve picture taking. 

riley is doing really good. thriving really. 
she loves to nurse every two hours during the day still, sometimes more frequently. 
her fussy time always seems to hit right around 5pm like clock work, every night. 
i am hoping it's a phase and one that will not last too long. 

this last weekend we were able to spend a little time with my sister-in-law and her family. 
it was nice to have lots of people around, one's i could have adult conversations with.

here are a few moments captured throughout their visit...

a little fishy




we have a little fish on our hands.
ella is amazing me every week with her progress in swimming.
she went from a starfish..skipped right over seashore (level 2) and became a clownfish.
i was very hesistant when riley was born to keep her in lessons.
i wasn't too sure i would be able to keep up with her schedule and a newborn baby.
she was LOVing it and i figured, let's just go for it. we will make it work, baby and all.

so happy to report she is now able to swim over 15 ft unassisted with her face in the water.
they are working on "rainbow arms" aka the freestyle and she is catching on quickly.
i am so proud of you miss ella...here's to becoming a spotted seal by the end of the month!!
