On Saturday morning our friend Bethany called us and told us there was a B.O.B. stroller at the REI used gear sale. Robert decided to jump in the car and go check it out before it disappeared. It was soiled as expected but Robert was able to pick it up for $130! That beats the nearly $400 price tag it usually costs new. Also, the infant car seat adapter came with it which normally costs about $60 and sold separately. 

When Robert brought the stroller home he disassembled the canvas and washed it up in the washer and it came out looking completely clean! We then took it down to Hermosa and enjoyed the sunset and a nice walk on the strand. We really like how the stroller handles.

A B.O.B. for Baby Bob!

Right now at Costco, the Canvas prints are $10 off with a coupon. Robert and I love this photo of us in Maui and thought it would make a really nice canvas print. Originally the horizon was crooked so I leveled it using Picasa. I like the colors in this photo.

Maternity Photos

September 10, 2011

27 Weeks

My dear friend Bethany Greiner took these maternity photos of us and did such a wonderful job. 

She is very talented at capturing just the right poses and lighting! 

These were taken at Redondo Beach Wilderness Park.

 

During my pregnancy we decided that we should move from our one bedroom apartment to an apartment with some more space. It took us a while to find a place that fit the criteria we were looking for. 

We feel very blessed to have found a two bedroom stand-alone house with a backyard and washer and dryer hook-ups in Redondo Beach. We also feel amazingly blessed by the friendships we have here and all the amazing people that helped us move.

We would like to shout out to all those who helped us move!

Thank you...

Smith Family Move Day October 22, 2011

I have decided to finally contribute to our family blog especially since there are so many things to reflect on and share. Most of what I will be blogging will be brief recaps of past events. Having a baby has made me realize that things change and time moves so quickly. So I thought I would try to capture some past moments of our lives.

Here are the photos we captured during my pregnancy.
