Jessica, 37 Weeks

My sister-in-law, Jessica, is beautiful. Somehow even more so at 37 weeks pregnant. I was so honored when she asked me to take maternity photos of her. Unfortunately the rain forced us inside for photos. Fortunately, Eavan's room is very cute.

I'm excited to meet you soon Baby Hoffman!

Our Chelan-niversary

Michael and I spent our first anniversary in Lake Chelan. We spent the weekend driving around, swimming, eating, waiting 20 minutes, then swimming again.  The lake was surprisingly warm (as long as you didn't go in too far), and there were apple trees as far as the eyes could see. It's beautiful there.

We had so much fun we forgot to take any pictures of us. But here's some of the beauty we enjoyed all weekend:

It was a wonderful weekend away and celebration of our first year of marriage. I sure love being your wife, Mr. Monroe.

Eavan's Third Birthday

My neice, Eavan, turned three at the end of August.  Nate and Jess threw her a wonderful party at a park near their house, complete with a lot of purple (her favorite color), lollipops (her favorite candy), family and friends.

Happy birthday sweet girl! And by sweet, I mostly mean energetic, funny, and a little mischievous.
