Family Pictures

We finally found some time to go get our family pictures taken. A great family friend of ours Sue Keith, who works out of Salem, took them and did a great job. If you are interested in having her take your photos her website address is www.suekeith.com

Saying goodbye to Aimee

So our wonderful nanny Aimee's last day was friday, she decided to move home to Texas and be with her family as her sister is expecting her first child. I think I cried the for 48 hours when she first told me. Aimee has been essential in our adjustment to me going back to work. She was a huge part of our family and I will forever be grateful to her for taking such great care of my babies. She was the first person outside of our family to ever watch the kids and with all my stress and anxiety she made the transition much easier. We will miss you so much Aimee!!!

Aimee's last day, it was only fitting that these pictures summarize her time with the kids, Gia grumpy and Luca without pants on!
