We spent Thanksgiving on the beautiful island of Kauai. We cerebrated both Thanksgiving and Grandpa and Grandma Browns 60th wedding anniversary. It is not often that you hear of couples making it to such a huge milestone. They are still so much in love and so cute together. They are an inspiration to both Myles and I.

It was both Myles and my first trip to Hawaii and we really enjoyed it. This will be our last kid free vacation for a long time. We boogie boarded, we kayaked, and we snorkeled. Myles could spend 12 straight hours snorkeling and not get bored with it.

Myles gets credit for the composition on this last shot. I set the exposure and he took this picture.

Yes its another silhouette – but look at the sunset! This was taken at the "Queen’s Bath" in Princeville.  I promise that I will post  more photos of myself (that are not silhouettes) soon. Myles is becoming a lot better photographer. 

I have a lot of catching up to do so check back soon for some more updates. I have a lot more photos from Hawaii as well as a lot of client sessions to finish.

remember back when you had no responsibilities and you could just cut lose and enjoy the moment.
I think these two girls just sum up that feeling.

I think this month must be death by cute month.
here is another adorable little one – we first met Jacob 3 months ago when he was just an itty-bitty newborn. Time flies!

I am just bragging a little bit – this may not seem like a
big deal but it made me feel good. I have been getting recipes from
allrecipies.com for years but I have never submitted anything. Well last month
I got up the nerve and added my chipotle chili recipe. And guess what people
have really liked it – it has gotten 4 and 5 stars, and someone even made it
and took a picture of it.

Here is the recipe if you are interested in trying it. I
usually put it together in the evening before bed and then stick it in the
crock pot in the morning to cook all day while we are at work. For some reason
the 8 hours of cooking really makes the flavors come out. You can add more or
less chipotle peppers to taste.

I see you!
