{living in the moment....december}

i promise to really do a better job of assembling these pics in the coming months.  again this month i took the time to take the pictures and think about what i was shooting and then just kind of threw them together last minute.  boo.

i had such huge expectations for this post. i haven't even included all the pictures that i wanted to. i might just come back and add and change the post. but maybe not. lol. i love this challenge that my friend {jude} put together.  i can't wait to make a book at the end of the year of these posts.  i feel very privileged to be in this circle of very talented women. 

please go take a look at the very talented {irene's} living in the moment post.

{happy birthday my love}

please join me in wishing my beautiful love a very happy birthday.  :)

happy birthday lisa!  thank you so much for sharing your life with me.  you are an incredible partner, mother and friend.  you complete us.  i hope you have a wonderful year and that all your wishes come true.  

here are some favorite pics of you and of us. in no particular order...and there's probably more than a few. ;)  i'll grab you some tea and of course i'll have my coffee.

you have the best smile ever.  seriously, it makes my heart melt.



this was your first birthday we celebrated.  we were in boston with your friends.  it was perfect.  you were very very drunk.  i was not.  :)


there you are looking all cute and stuff.  also, best starbucks we've ever been in so far.  even better than the biltmore i think.

our first new hampshire trip.  ski weekend!


you hate this cause it looks like you're choking me.  i love it cause it was the beginning of us...




damn we're cute.  i caught the bouquet, remember?!


you were very very drunk here too.  lol.  i only added two pics of you when you were drunk and then pointed out to the world that you were drunk so i'll tell everyone right now that usually, i'm the drunk one.  ;)


one of the many reasons i love you is that you look at me like that.


mmmmmmmmmmmmm tea.  lol.


our very first disney trip!  we went to the kona cafe this day.  my all time favorite restaurant.


there's that damn hammock.  ;)


you have this as your profile pic right now.  i love it.


have i ever told you that you have the best eyes ever?  they completely melt me.




you and goofy get along smashingly.  shocker.


this might be my all time favorite photo of us and it's all because of you and that look again.




we're engaged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


i treasure this blurry awkward photo taken by that nice stranger couple.  you asked.  i said yes.  :)




i know i've told you but you are the best mom.  seriously.  our kids are so incredibly lucky to have you.





this was one of those times that you didn't want to take a picture but you did anyways for me.  i appreciate it.  ;)

you totally rock.  that is all.


omg s'mores in the driveway?  if i didn't love you before.....





this picture is just totally awesome in every way.  there are no need for words.

you love with all of your being and that is a very special quality to have.







and omg, you do the dishes!!!!!!  win!  seriously though, i appreciate it.  so much.







bailey did good here.  i love this one of us too.

oh, that's a nice picture of lisa when she was little.  lmao!!!  i can see it though....




awkward family photo!!!!!

i loved when you brought me out to western ma to see your school.  that was a great trip.  i had a lot of fun.



i always love the photos you take!












remember what i was saying about best mom ever?  yeah, that....


you are just so much fun to be around...










i loved that you coached ian's team.  that was very special to me as i'm sure it was to you.  i hope it's not the last time.


disney!  you are the biggest disney geek and i love it beyond words.




how many of these shots do you think we'll have in this lifetime?  lol.




we went back to our spot this year.  our special spot when you asked me to be your wife.










there are those eyes again.  full of love.








we sent our babies off to eight grade, second grade, kindergarten and preschool this year.  you made it all more bearable for me.




we look happy don't we?  the camera doesn't lie.  i am the happiest i have ever been in my life and that's because of you.  you're my lid.  my soul mate.  my wife.  i hope i can make you a quarter as happy as you make me.  we're pretty lucky to have found each other and to have taken those leaps into the unknown to be together.  it all started with three little words.  and i couldn't be happier that i said them to you.



thank you lisa christine d'acci.  thank you for opening your heart to me and for loving me that way you do.  thank you for being such a great mother and for taking such good care of us.  thank you for being you.
