Lora once again perfectly captured our family for our 2025 Christmas card! I’m especially obsessed with all the shots of Grant – you can really see his personality! And we are even more excited to share that our family is growing: Baby Boy Smith #2 is due to arrive in May 2026!
Grant Santa & Mrs. Claus Photo
Grant (after being sick and missing both picture day and makeup picture day) finally posed for this adorable photo baking with Santa and Mrs. Claus at daycare. Thank you to Blush & Vine Photography for this sweet memory, definitely going to frame and set out at Christmases to come!

Winnie’s First Birthday!
Last weekend we celebrated my nephew Winston’s 1st birthday with a very fitting Winnie the Pooh themed party! Sophie made the most adorable beehive cake and Winnie loved his smash cake, too. Happy birthday, Winston! We love you!
Antibes, France
On July 4th we had to say goodbye to Provence and headed to the coast. The last night of our trip was spent at the Royal Antibes Hotel overlooking the water. We spent the day enjoying the beach and had dinner at the hotel’s restaurant Royal Beach. Walking through old town was a highlight and our after dinner ice cream was the perfect finale to our time in France. I’m so grateful for this special trip with our family and that Dale and I were able to make these memories with Grant.
Saint-Rémy-de-Provence
This morning we visited the beautiful market in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. I bought a turquoise bracelet from a local gallery and have regrets about not purchasing a few table cloths. We also took some time for family photos along the driveway of our Airbnb. I’m so grateful we were able to bring Grant along on this trip – especially alongside cousin Winnie!
Senanque Abbey
After our morning market trip to Gordes we headed to the nearby Senanque Abbey. The lavender was blooming and while the abbey itself was closed, we wandered amongst the shady blooms.
