I know I've been slacking on my Throwback posts but I promise to make them up to y'all.
Here's an oldie but goodie:
This was taken, I believe Labor Day weekend 2011. We went up to Santa Barbara for the day and came home. Come to think of it, we need to do that more often. I was about 6 weeks pregnant with Ethan in this pic. I don't know
