Aaaaand here are some captured memories of our sweet monchhichi over the past several months... My oh my how time does fly when you are having fun! And forgive me, I've spent hours (literally) on uploading these photos, and I do not have the energy to now organize them to be in sequential order. Ha.
Christmas parade in La Jolla with friends
Liam and Wyatt... BFFs
Grandma and Grampy spoiled us three with a winter holiday in Maui. Oh my, what fun we had! Liam fell in love with the water. Didn't fall too far from the tree, that boy.
Ummmm.... HA!
Love the tummy rolls
You say what?!
Whale watching!
Liam enjoyed the whales from inside the boat

Happy 30th birthday to my best friend. How blessed Liam and I are to be yours.
