Brandon's Time Off

We were blessed to have Brandon home for five weeks after Lucy was born. Due to an easier labor and quick recovery, we were able to make the most of his time off. Brandon and I hate crowds and decided to visit all the places we love, minus the crowds and, often, the price since many places are free during the week. We had such a wonderful time bonding as a new family of four and enjoying all the activities within reach, living in So. Cal. Here's a glimpse into our time together.

There was quite a bit more that wasn't even captured on camera but, as you can see, we packed a lot in and had a great time. We are sad that Brandon returned to work but we are so thankful for the hard worker and wonderful provider that he is for our family.
