Albuquerque


We were able to visit Albuquerque a couple weekends ago. This was my first time going back since our move in January. We made the trip back to visit our dear friend's new baby girl, Emery. She is SOOO beautiful! I had to steal some pictures from her blog for you all to enjoy! Loved meeting her, and seeing our "Albuquerque Family"!
We also had the pleasure of revisiting our first home. It was uh...interesting! I thought for sure I would want to pack up and move right back to our starter home, until I realized that we lived in the freaking ghetto. Why did we not see the signs when their was a drive by shooting across the street, or the woman who came to my door in the middle of the night to tell me her boyfriend tried to kill her. We were blinded by the sanctuary we created on the inside...trying to forget the chaos on the outside. So to all our friends and family who came to visit, and never suggested that we get the heck out of that neighborhood...feel lucky that we are still alive!Meagan and Liz pre-children! Not sure why I thought it was okay for my tummy to be showing.
This is Emery. Isn't she perfect!
Thanks for a great visit guys!

Hey Liz! Yeah, we call him Owen but try to stay as anonymous as possible online so the freaks don't steal our info or something. So online he's Li'l Mil.

By the way, your new place looks amazing!! And isn't it sad how fast our little boys are growing up??? It gets more and more fun but some days I really miss the days when he was immobile and incommunicado :)
