Julie Day - 27 Weeks

First Sweet Potatoes for Our Sweet Pea.

Stewart Family Reunion 2012

We just returned from the annual Stewart Family Reunion.  It is at least twice as fun as it sounds, and, in fact, we had so much fun at this year's reunion that we forgot to pull out our camera to document the excitement.  We did make a video for cousin Ty, who sadly was too sick to attend this year.

Thanks, mom, for another great reunion.  Thanks, Uncle Buck, for letting us stay in your amazing cabin in Beaver, Utah.  It's hard to beat Beaver, Utah, but we're still looking forward to next year's reunion here, mostly because we'll be all together and eating Tessa's amazing desserts again!

Julie Day - 6 Months

For some reason, this makes things feel so...

...official.

We're increasingly happy with our decision, but it was admittedly difficult to make this change.

Julie Day - 25 Weeks

Suzy bought this cute little dress in 2006 when we were living in Lyon, France.  She was so excited to dress her little girl in it, and even though we kept having boys, the little blue dress hung in our closet awaiting a little girl to bring it to life.  Suzy got her precious daughter, Julie got her pretty French dress, and the guy behind the camera couldn't believe how lucky he was to have such lovely, amazing ladies in his life.

I took this photo of Gunsight Bay well after sunset one evening as I was walking Julie up and down the beach trying to get her to sleep.  I used a 30 second exposure, which makes everything look brighter than it was and combines all of the waves for a glossy effect on the water.  And eventually I even got Julie to sleep.
