Our New Normal

/

Life changed when we added our bundle of joy to our family! Reece has made our family so much more special. But life changed for sure a weekend outing has become mostly morning family walks with the dog to get coffee and talk to strangers about Reece's hair or Ravioli, I would say its about 50/50 baby or dog! haha. 

Today we went for an early morning walk in Solana Beach on Cedars Avenue. But first both Gina and I woke up Reece and the smiles she gives us in the morning show us the joy a new day brings her. She sees our faces and lights up to start a day full of family fun.

So cute! Gina and I can't help ourselves in thinking how blessed we are to have such a sweet baby.  She is so stinking cute, so much hair, its truly an amazing indescribable feeling. 

It was a cold morning so we all got bundled up and went for coffee at lofty coffee. 

Yummy Reece wants coffee!!!

Reece was so cute in her bunny. The whole crew Ravioli included went for a walk, we were early as all the shops were closed so we walked and found a nice bench to sit on. A nurse approached us and said, "well look at your perfect family I just had to stop and say that." She said "baby, wife, husband and this dog on this beautiful day." And she was right we are so lucky to all have each other. Lucky to have a healthy beautiful baby girl like Reece, lucky to have a beautiful well behaved dog like Ravioli, and most of all lucky to have each other, teammates from day one. We then went to Gina's favorite store Solo where we ran into celebrity chef Richard Blaze we seem to always run into him yet we never really say hi and we think he recognizes us from how many times we have been to his restaurants.

Another older lady stopped us to comment on our beautiful dog and all the hair on baby Reece's head we love it and welcome the conversation with strangers even if it's focused on our hairy children 🤣. Oh yeah and we also stopped for Ravioli at Mutropolis for some free treats, he is always a hit there. We then stopped for sandwiches at Board and Brew on the way home and enjoyed the rest of the day as a family at home together being thankful for each other and our new normal.
