The Lion King

We took Ati to see The Lion King at the Pantages Theatre this past weekend along with Nana Pat & Auntie Deanna and we had an amazing time!

We saw the matinee show and had a nice lunch across the street at Delphine before it started and everything was excellent.

I don't know what was more entertaining - the show itself or seeing Ati's excitement and reaction to everything. It truly was one of the best shows we've seen - the music, the set, the costumes, everything! We feel incredibly blessed to have shared this special moment with our girl!

Christmas Cuties

Opening gifts from Santa

It was an exhausting couple of days, but this is what it is about - spending time with the ones we love and watching these kids enjoy the spirit of Christmas.

Here are some quick videos of the kids opening their gifts on Christmas morning from Santa.

Happy birthday Jesus

Here is a video of Ati's class singing at her Christmas program.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

Other pictures of Atiana

Along with playing around with my new camera, I also am getting some practice in editing my photos.
Here are some additional shots of Ati that I got while out photographing a family.

World Prematurity Day

This past weekend, March of Dimes celebrated World Prematurity Day. I was asked to take pics of a close friend's family and was able to snap a few shots of Atiana with Isaac, a fellow preemie friend of ours who has been featured a couple of times on our blog. Isaac was born at 27 weeks and weighed 1 lb. 15 oz.

Like, Ati, he also has a baby brother who was born full-term. Ati and Isaac got to hang out and have a little fun on Sunday. It made me very happy to see these two so grown up and running around!

We are blessed!

Halloween

Happy November everyone!

It's been a busy week, as usual, but here are pictures from Halloween - Ati's school parade and trick-or-treating. Enjoy!

USC vs. Utah

This past Saturday we took the kids to probably their last game of this season. Homecoming and USC-UCLA are the last two home games. Can't believe football season is more than halfway done!

We got there a little early, but didn't tailgate. Instead, we walked around, met up with Traveler and enjoyed the shade as much as we could before going into the game.

The kids had a great time, as usual, and let me take a few pics of them while they snacked and people watched. Oh Xavier - he makes the funniest faces!
