A New Fave

Merritt rode a tiger on the carousel at the mall the other day and LOVED it-- brave girl! While Eric and I were both fighting off the dizziness and nausea, Mer was unfazed.

1st Day of School!

Such a big girl-- this fall, Merritt is enrolled in two half-days a week at a little school program up the street from us and today was her first day. A little rocky for both of us, I must say, but my girlfriends assure me we'll be pros in no time!

Indy Girls' Weekend

While Eric and Mer enjoyed a fun-filled father/daughter weekend (Children's Museum, the park, Home Depot- oh my!), I jetted to Indianapolis to spend time with some very dear college girlfriends. We were having too much fun all weekend to take many pictures, but did manage to snap one after stuffing ourselves on sushi.

Newport '09 Cont'd

Just returned from the annual family pilgrimage to Newport Beach and had a fantastic time. Gorgeous weather, huge 30-40 person dinners on the patio every night and two beautiful babies who couldn't get enough of the beach-- a perfect vacay!
