Brunette & a bathed baby

Fun Fall hair! Since having Kaia, I've been shedding hair all over the house like crazy. It's gross actually. It's in everything, everywhere. Brian told me to chop it all off-- at least shoulder length, but I looooove my long hair, so I cut 3 inches off yesterday and added tons of dark to the blonde. Pretty drastic, but we'll see if I can get used to it, because it looks awesome!



My friend Lindsay from Vermont bought Kaia the cutest pink robe with matching booties. What a little super model!

***FIRST HALLOWEEN***

Kaia's first Halloween was last night. She was an adorable, little pink butterfly. We trick-or-treated with Brian's siblings and their kids. The weather was perfect and it made me miss my childhood, going door to door with family & friends.
p.s.-- Kaia is cutting her first teeth already! Two on the bottom.

Our little pumpkin posing in a pumpkin patch. Isn't she the cutest?!


Okay...this one is HILARIOUS! We asked Brian's mom's niece (who has Alzeimer's and was kinda out of it last night) to take a "family" Halloween picture of all of us. There were 10 of us in this picture...and this was the end result:


My simple bunny costume. I had to wear something!!!!


Mamma bunny & baby butterfly loves.

....all worn out from trick-or-treating (she actually was asleep the whole time we took her around).

We ended our Halloween at the movies watching SAW 6 with Brian's sister Jen & hubby Curt and cousin Cindy & hubby Adam. Sooooooo gory!

Little Miss Magic.

Brian's close family friend Lan took some fabulous pictures during Kaia's baby blessing party. My most favorite shot of Little Miss Magic...is below:

~Blessings for Kaia~

Yesterday, we had our 5 month old little girl (finally!) blessed. Brian's uncle Son gave an awesome blessing. We enjoyed a HUGE luncheon at Brians' parents home after. We missed you all, Family! xoxoxo

Our happy little girl...


Daddy and Kaia Bug!


Mommy and blessed Kaia!


Kaia's blessing dress-- so dainty and pretty.

BOSTON OR BUST!!!

Awwww~ my little Sox fan!!!! Kaia had a blast in Boston and was such a good baby. Everyone enjoyed her presence.

Cheers to the bride & groom~

(Parents of the groom)-- Thank you Anh & Jerry for an awesome trip to Massachusetts!

If you think I promptly took off my flip flops, ran around in the sand and then laid down on the beach (even though it was quite chilly), you'd be right.

Adam, Brian and Huy = Trouble Makers.

I <3 you, Connors Beach House! Could live here forever.



The day after the wedding was spent generously at Griffith's dad Jerry's brother's ritzy beach house, seriously right...ON THE BEACH...in Newbury, Mass. I felt like I was a Kennedy in a Pottery Barn magazine. Simply stunning-- and such a breath of fresh air...to relax and unwind after the whirlwind trip.

The cousins-- dazzling: Ashley, Trang, Nancy, Cindy~*

All the single ladies...now put'cha hands up! (Okay-- not really. The only single girl here is cousin Trang.)



Anyone who knows me knows I get all fancy-schmancy. HOT fake eyelashes! :)

Ready to celebrate...



The blissfully happy couple~ Griffith & Ashley!


Our trip to Boston was for the purpose of celebrating in Brian's cousin Griffith's wedding to his beautiful bride Ashley. They were married Sep. 25th in a *beautiful* ceremony aboard this ship-- The Spirit of Boston on Boston Harbor. SO MUCH FUN!

Will Hunting. Or Not.

We felt "wicked smaaaaaaaht" walking around "Hahhhhvahhhd Square." I love you, Boston.

At Quincy Market with my baby girl~

My sleepy little New Englander...


We started off our lovely Boston trip in Manchester, NH visiting my sister Tanner, her family and my parents. My mom Diane has short hair growing back as she's been battling Lymphoma this past year. They were delighted to meet baby Kaia for the first time!
