Reese is 3 Months!!!

Reese is 3 months already! She is smiling, finding her hands and feet and learning to lift her head. She has a physical therapist that comes once a week to help her with her low muscle tone. The therapist is amazed at the quick response from Reese! She says that each week she sees a HUGE difference in what she is able to do - we are so thankful! She is still very weak (you have to hold her like a newborn) but she is improving quickly. These are her 3 month pictures that we took, one shows her trying to lift her head during tummy time :)

All smiles :)

Concentrating very hard!

Summer Fun!

We've had a busy few weeks with lots of visitors and loving every minute of it! The girls are doing so well and getting so big. Reese has been able to meet some special people for the first time like her Great Grandma Nelle, Aunt Leslie, Uncle Randy, Aunt Lynne, Uncle Bruce and my best friend Heidi and her family. Papa and YaYa came out for a visit again and we ventured out to the Santa Monica Pier-so fun!!! Molly and Reese in their new tutus from Aunt Heidi!

Beautiful girl!

That's a face :)

Great Grandma Nelle with Reese! We had so much fun having her stay with us.

Molly cried when Grandma Nelle left-she had so much fun with her!

The Family

Molly got to play at the arcade and won some tickets that we turned in for a plastic lizard - wow a lizard, really :)

Papa took Molly on the historic carousel that's at the Santa Monica Pier - waiting to get on it and picking their horse.

So cute!

Our 6th Anniversary!!

John and I celebrated our 6th Anniversary on Saturday! Last year John had planned a surprise getaway, but we were unable to go because of my step dad passing away, so they gave us a credit. We used it this year! We went to Summerland (Santa Barbara area) and stayed at the Inn on Summerhill - a bed and breakfast. It was amazing - overlooking the ocean! We had such a wonderful time and were so thankful for the relaxation (even though it was short lived :). Here are some pictures from our trip.

Dropped the kids off at my mom's and we're off!

The view from our balcony at our room!

Ready to go to dinner - we asked the front desk if there was any place small and romantic and he told us about this little restaurant called Pene e Vino in Montecito. Authentic Italian food with a great atmosphere - we loved it!

Love :)

The Inn at night - so cute! We sat right out there on the porch earlier in the day during the wine hour.

You have to take a lot of these kind of pictures when it's just the two of you :)

Hangin' in Santa Barbara before we head back home.

We stopped at the Rincon in Ventura on our way home. Pulled over, took a nap in the car and then sat out on the rocks enjoying the view! Then back to reality.

Reese's 2 Month Picture!!

Our little baby is already two months old! She has been very busy growing, smiling (that picture is to come) and rolling over (from her back to one side)! She is such a sweetie and we are so enjoying her.

4th of July in San Francisco!

For 4th of July weekend we decided to head up North to visit John's family so they could all meet Reese and we took our neighbors with us! We spent the day in The City on Friday, hung out at the pool on Saturday and BBQed in the evening, and went into The City on the ferry on Sunday. It was a relaxing time with lots of fun memories! We took a lot of pictures and I tried to cut it down a bit, but still ended up with quite a lot - enjoy!

The Shaw kids at our first pit stop - all smiles!

Momma Shaw (Bree) extra smiley!! She was ready for this trip!

Sara and Molly at our first stop on Friday - The Golden Gate Bridge! Johnny was the tour guide.

Molly in front of Coit Tower! There's a statue to the left and when we were walking up she says, "look mommy, Jesus!" - Mommy, "um, no hunny that's just a big man"

This is a reenactment of the first time Johnny and I hugged! XOXOXO
"Do you have any ? ? ? " We're starting them young - we always played cards on vacation when we were kids :)
