Summer 2014 Recap

Our first summer with Tatum has been super fun, but also super exhausting.  The first 3 months of TK's life has consisted of a lot of crying...and a lot of crying.  :) I'm really, really thankful for baby swings, vacuums, and the Ergo baby carrier.  We have spent a lot of our days going for walks, meeting daddy downtown for lunch, getting together with our friends Noelle and baby Hero, and riding in the car is always a favorite, too...except when we have to stop at those darn red lights!!! 

 Thankfully, by the time July rolled around and Tatum turned 3 months, I feel like we have turned a page and it's as if we have a new baby!  I think these past 3 months have made me now appreciate my days so much more.  I remember thinking is it ever going to get easier?  My sweet sister-in-law, Tara, is always so reassuring and makes me feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel.  I don't mean to sound like I am complaining, I just want to make sure I write it (or type it) down because I think it's all part of our little family's story.   

A day at the beach with friends.

Our nightly routine was: daddy came home from work, take turns eating dinner and then a stroll around the neighborhood.  Zac & I found that if we wanted to be able to have a conversation & keep TK happy, the best thing would be to walk and talk. 

Celebrated our 4 year anniversary at a little Mexican restaurant near our old neighborhood!  Don't we look a little tired?? Ha! It's because we were. :) We laughed, because it was just a year ago from that time when we were celebrating our 3 year anniversary with a fancy dinner followed by a trip to NYC.  This year, we were just happy we could sit down and have a meal together! Wouldn't change it for the world though, having Tatum made it extra special.
