Our California Girl

Our platinum blonde, sun-loving California girl

Beautiful blue eyes; deep in thought


Just a few of her many adorable expressions


Mommy, daddy and Elise got to visit with our friends Mattu and Sunny last month! They were in town visiting, from London, and we were so happy to get a chance to catch up on the past year. Mattu took some beautiful candid photos, which I just have to share. She really captured the playful spirit of our darling little nearly two-year-old girl. Elise has the cutest and often silliest little expressions. This is one of my favorite things about toddlers; you never have to question their emotions because they proudly display each one - often in the most dramatic of ways.  She started out playing shy and coy, but after a half hour, she was playing hide-and-go-seek, and by the end of the day had made best of friends with Mattu and Sunny; so much so that she did not want to say goodbye!

This one is just so cute; her smile always wins us over

Daddy and Elise - these two are never far apart :)

More fun expressions - pensive, joyous, playful and coy
