NYC The Met's Rooftop Garden

This was my favorite shot from my latest trip to NYC. Can you tell what's going on?

2013 Review in September

So after 4 months of crunch time at my work, I finally have a chance to breathe. Of course, I spend the time editing photos and writing a blog; I suppose it's therapeutic. I have so much to catch up on, it's a trip. I enjoyed being so productive, but now that the 12-hour work days are over, the adrenaline is dying down and my body is in a bit of shock. Anyway, I suppose there will be several blogs over the next week or two, but here is a general overview of some highlights over the last 8 months (with the exception of my brother's wedding, which deserves a post in itself)!

My father-in-law, niece and nephew with 3-week-old Chet:

Chet's first playdate with a friend's baby, Addie. I think they like eachother...

Renee has come a couple times throughout the summer!

And a couple Getty visits as well... wine and snacks, art and gardens.

Lots of fun with Danny B

And a spring break visit from our inlaws. 

It was so special to see Audrey and Lukas' first time at the beach!

Last but not least, Chet's first plane ride to the bay area included a beautiful visit to Santa Cruz. 

What a gorgeous day!

Adventures in Instagram: San Francisco

We took a flight to San Francisco to visit with my sister before I returned to work:

Never complete without a picture of the Golden Gate:

We went to Santa Cruz and up the coast to Pescadero, stopping at the Swanton Berry Farm Shop:

Goat farm with baby goats and goat cheese tastings!

Introduced the little one to his great grandmothers:

And got to see my Uncle's beautiful home:

 Back to work, and missing this little guy's face!

Idyllwild, part 2

 

Idyllwild, CA

 Sam and I celebrated 7 years of marriage by escaping to Idyllwild for our anniversary. 

And at 7 months pregnant, I was still able to go on a couple easy hikes. 

It was a beautiful, relaxing weekend together.
