Mothers Day 2012


Mothers Day Tea

 My last preschool Mothers Day Tea.  
I confess I was a bit sad....this marks the end of an era.
We are so grateful for Wooddale Preschool and
 the imprint of that experience on each of our boys.  

Spring Weekend at the Cabin!

 Dinner at A&W
 Movie Time!
        
            Our family was planning on going to the cabin the first weekend of May.  
Ama & Agong sold their house (woohoo!!!!) so Lawrence ended up staying back to help out at the house.  We invited Grandma and Grandpa to join us.  
Emily & Erica were in Chicago, so we invited Eden & Megan to come along as well.  
All 8 of us crammed into the van and had a great adventure.  
The kids LOVED playing in the water and collecting rocks.
Can't wait to get up to the cabin again this summer!!!

Childhood Wonder

I captured this shot of Jordan as he came home from the bus.  
Love the wonderment in childhood.  
Reminds me to stop and "smell the flowers" (or in this case blow the dandelions).
Love this kid.

Agong's 75th Birthday Party









We celebrated Agong's birthday at Friendship Village.  
He was surrounded by old friends and his entire family (minus Addison).
A beautiful tribute to a remarkable man. 

Floor Hockey



 Micah had a blast playing on his first floor hockey team.
He was proud to have something for just him.  :-)

Mom's Birthday

We celebrated Mom's 65th birthday last month.  What a shame that this is the only photo I captured of our fun evening together!  We (all the kids, grandkids, Aunt, Lillian & Uncle David) surprised Mom by taking her out to dinner at Mai Village.  It was a very special evening, filled with tributes, memories, and words of gratitude for her amazing life and legacy.  We love you, Mom!  You don't look (or act) a day over 50.  :-)

Lunchtime Notes


 My sweet Jordan....insists on me writing a note in his lunchbox everyday.  
And insists I put the pen in as well....so he can write me a note back.
