Winter Getaway

For me, there's nothing better than a getaway to June Lake. It's become a winter-time tradition for my husband's family and ours. We even have our favorite places to go to: Breakfast at the Great Basin Bakery, Obsidian Dome hike near June Lake, and spa time at the Double Eagle Resort and Spa.

It was also baby Daniel's first encounter with snow! Grandma Leite bought him this little astronaut suit that was so thick he could barely move. So cute...

We were also celebrating our second anniversary. Time flies and our family has definitely grown! Here's our dysfunctional family portrait. =]

Baby Daniel

It was a close call for about 2 1/2 months but I finally feel like I have a handle on things. Labor was...well... laborious. You know how women are always saying that it will be the hardest thing you ever do and you never believe them? Well, you should listen to them.

All I have to say about my labor experience is that everything went in the opposite direction I wanted it to except for the result. The result was so amazing it actually makes you crazy enough to consider doing it all again (emphasis on CONSIDER).

Now that I'm starting to feel like my old self again, it's time to pick up right where I left off. It's definitely great to have a new subject to photograph!

Hope you enjoyed the pictures of little Daniel.

Happy Holidays!
