Goodbye Connecticut

Hello Salt Lake City

Christmas Cards from Connecticut

I planned on taking a family picture sometime on this trip (for Christmas cards) but hadn't gotten one since the 3 other family members don't like to cooperate for pictures. But the last Sunday we were in Connecticut we got home from church and we oh so quickly snapped some pictures on the side of my sister's garage. Such a cute spot. And we got one! Here are the other pictures we snapped.

I love this picture because you see how much we don't look alike! Not even a little!

Tea and Scones

There is this adorable little tea house called The Drawing Room right around the corner from my sisters house. Amanda, Dad and I went for breakfast and it was everything we hoped it would be.

Homemade Granola

Our Favorite

Ginger Scones

Amazing Lemon Ginger Tea

Fall Photo Shoot Part 3

I really wanted to capture fall in our pictures so my friend suggested this orchard. I almost said no because I've seen lots of family pictures done here. And I love them but just wanted something unique. But she convinced me to try it and it really was a lovely spot for pictures.

My favorite.

Love the deer in the background.

Fall Photo Shoot Part 2

I drove past this yellow wall and loved it.

My friend Lora was happy to take a bunch of our fall family pictures here.

I also included some cute candid shots she snapped.

Julius is 2 years old and I'm 9 months pregnant.

Fall Photo Shoot Part 1

While I'm putting up old pictures...my friend also wanted to take some pregnant pictures of me.
(We were also doing family pictures.)

I was very hesitant to take pictures of just me. But she did a great job and I'm glad I have some pictures now.

Here are a few.
