We came back from our Southern California trip and the next day I went straight to work (see below). I get these cute photos sent to me throughout the day (see the photo below of the wife with the girl). It makes my week much more bearable – even if I have to be on the phone most of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a not-so-flattering photo of me and the girl making a super cute smile. The wife caught this as I was looking at the doppler radar to see if we would get any rain on our way up to the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is a really pretty park – these photos we captured do not do justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was too exciting for Arabella as she passed out before we even left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a while now the wife has wanted to eat at Rainforest Cafe. We made it finally come true! It is a fun experience and almost feels like one of those exotic movies you would see in a movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The monsoon is in full effect. Below are a few photos we captured while chasing storms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The car is finally repaired – we had an issue though where they put the car name on incorrectly. They had to order another one and we are waiting for that to be fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jake still LOVES being around Arabella – can you tell?! If she moves, he will move to wherever she is. Even when he looks like he is sleeping, he is paying attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At work when I take my lunch break it takes me 5 minutes to eat. I spend the other 25 minutes watching TV and typically Cash Cab is on. Sometimes it makes things go by quickly, other times not so much. Also – it bothers me if they don’t finish the people and their turn before I go back. It’s the small things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

just Pray<\/p>\n\n\n\n
