Puddles!

To save Karch and Tessa from boredom these past few rainy days, I have been walking with them in search for puddles. Although my glasses have been needing their own windshield wipers from the rain we've been walking in, Karch and Tessa could not care less and enjoyed jumping in puddles. Here are Karchy and Tessa after the morning rain stomping on this mini puddle.

3D Experience

Ray and I took all three kids to the movies this past Friday to watch Shrek 4 in 3D. Although Maryn (thankfully) slept through the whole movie, Karch and Tessa loved the whole 3D movie experience. As Karch said, "that was so cool!"

Can't wait until June 18th to take the kids again to see Woody and Buzz on the big screen!

Working from home...

...gotta love it!

Happy Mother's Day

From Karchy

Karchy brought this home from school today. It's his first school-made Mother's Day. I know it will probably be the first of many, but this one is special. Why?

Karchy reminded me that it is the little things that matter to him. The little card attached to this bunch of carnations said this:

Who knew that part of our daily routine meant so much to him?!

I love my son.

Strike a Pose

We had a wonderful opportunity to have yet another photo session with Melvin yesterday. These pictures are just a few of the many shots he took of Maryn and the rest of our family. Maryn was so amazing at striking poses for the camera, but it was definitely a challenge trying to get all the kids picture-ready simultaneously. Nonetheless, Melvin was so patient with the demands of his playful clients, and he was able to do such an awesome job!

Maryn's Monthday

Our baby is one month day.
What a blessing!
