Quinn went through Santa Boot Camp these last few weeks in an attempt to undo her PTSD from meeting Santa last year. We can't say we cured her, that's yet to be determined, but we have succeeded in getting her to love Christmas!

45/52: we spent last weekend in vermont. traveling with a two-year-old on a long road trip is not without its challenges. we learned a lot, but smiled a lot, too.

46/52: we came back this week and revisited our happiness. it was great to see that smile again.

I'm going to say that this was the best beach weekend of the entire summer. Outstanding weather, low tide lending perfect little tide pools for toddler play, and extra special time spent together with family, friends, neighbors, and strangers. Smiles were had, naps were pushed back, and life was lived.

More images from the best day this week...

34/52

two years old as of yesterday... two years of the most incredible love i've ever experienced. a love that makes me sick in the best way. a love that causes my heart to explode into pieces a minimum of one hundred times a day. a love that finally helps me understand why i am on this earth.

Today, Quinn requested she hold Maeve in the hammock. Who am I to deny her?

Maeve McDonough Khichi. Born at 3:08 p.m. on July 28, 2014. Nine pounds and two ounces of deliciousness. It's safe to say Quinn & Maeve are already besties.

Thought this week would have been Quinn with her new sibling, but that will have to wait one more week. Currently nine days late. That's not fun. Quinn, however, she finds fun everywhere she goes.

The romper is just too much. Sewn by my friend, Lauren, for her shop, Curly Hair Conspiracy. Check her stuff out on Instagram @curlyhairconspiracy, and you might recognize a familiar face. 

Some of the outtakes:

This is it...(I think)....our final week as Neel, Megan, and Quinn. Our final week as parents of one child. 39 weeks along and ready to venture into new territory. This baby girl is our life - and she is now going to be a big sister. No more just Quinn and me. But she will always be number one.
