Uber sweet.

I just have to share this:

One of my coworkers had a beautiful baby girl last month.  Their newborn shots are amazing, especially the ones featuring Daddy.  Doesn't it just make your heart melt?

As the photographer said on her blog, someday Baby Lucy will look back on these photos and know just how loved she is.

Way Better than a Love Fern

The Fiance and I decided to give each other a wedding gift a little early.  When we bought our house last year, we planned to plant a tree in the front yard when we got married.  As it turns out, September is not tree-planting season, so we did it this weekend instead.

The Fiance bought me a crimson maple.  As it turns out, my Daddy-O also bought my Mama a crimson maple to celebrate her first Mother's Day.  An accidental coincidence, but still one that makes me happeeeeee.

So The Fiance and I planted a tree today.  And by The Fiance and I, I mean The Fiance and my Daddy-O. Super manly and important male bonding happened.




Wedding Tree: check! 

So here's our house now, a year after we moved in:

And here's what we expect it to look like in 20 years or so:

Will you and your fiance be getting wedding gifts for each other?  Will you commemorate the occasion in a special way?
