We've been in Phoenix all week taking a much-needed last vacation before the new baby arrives and I have pictures to share with you.


We went to the Desert Botanical Gardens for their Día de los Muertos festivities. Dude. It's still quite hot here.

We didn't pack Alliclaus' Halloween costume because it took up too much room in the suitcase and because trick-or-treating is my own personal Hell, so instead she wore her Halloween outfit yesterday. We'll get some pictures of her in her costume soon.

We also had our family pictures done by the beautiful and talented Rebecca. You can check some of them out here. (Who knew it was so difficult to get a 19-month old to sit on her parents' laps?)
Tomorrow: Pirate Porn?
Awww she is so sweet, your family pictures are awesome.
How have you been feeling?

She is such a cutie and I just love her little curls. I wish my little girl had that gorgeous hair!
