Jeff's Birthday!

We celebrate Jeff's 39th birthday with a little surprise party at Carney Park following the Labor Day golf game. I ordered pizza and beer and brought a couple cakes. Looking back at the photos, I"m surprised we didn't set off the fire alarm! Ha!!

Photo Shoot with Renee

For those of you living in Naples, Renee Williams is an amazing photographer! She does monthly themed shoots, but also private sessions. We just had our first family photo shoot - and maternity shots. Though I think I look fat, it will be nice to have some Belly Bella shots in the future. She took a ton of photos and we picked our favorites for her to edit. More shots are available on her website at www.myphotosbyrenee.com - see the Barris Maternity #2.

Here are some that we liked the best - though it's always hard to tell if color or black and white is better.

Love, all 4 of us

PS - these were taken when I was at 36 weeks

We Moved to Base Housing

August 23-24 we moved to base housing. The decision involved a lot of factors, but in the end we opted for simplifying our lives Monday thru Friday in the hopes that we were be more energized to take weekend trips. Living on base is great - there are at least 20 playgrounds here - Morgan is in heaven and is coming up with names for each one. We've got neighbor friends, shopping here, babysitters, the gym with lots of classes, and lots going on - BBQ's, pick-up soccer/frisbee games, running groups... The hospital is here too, plus buses between the 2 bases which is nice since we have one car.

Here are some pictures of our new set-up.

Love us
