Packing our Bags
Since I'm 36 weeks now, and my babies usually come at 38 weeks, we decided that for this Monday's Family Home Evening we would pack our bags!
The kids are thrilled because they'll be staying with their cousins; I'm thrilled for my mini-vacation and meet & greet!

With everything thrown in the living room, Owen took a liking to my deodorant and began to "apply" it!
Samuel's Mom: Happy Mother's Day!
My mother-in-law is a really special lady. I am fortunate that such a wonderful woman, who is so caring, loving, and generous, raised my husband. He truly is a product of a loving family, who taught him standards and principles that are the foundation for our family today.
Everyone pitched in for a lovely brunch at Mimi's Cafe, Chocolate-dipped Strawberries, and a Super-Rich Chocolate Cake!
Happy Mother's Day!

My Mother's Day
I love Mother's Day!
I'm always allowed to sleep in as late as I want, and when I make my grand entrance it's to a breakfast menu of my choice.
This year, I selected:
Roasted Asparagus with Parmesan cheese
&
Scrambled Eggs
Ham & Cheese Croissants
Chocolate Muffins
Orange Juice

This year, Samuel could only find a 6-pack of assorted muffins (poppy-seed, blue-berry, & chocolate), and of course, everyone's favorite is the chocolate. Because it was my special day, I was alotted one whole muffin to myself. However before I could take my second half, Iris scooped it up and licked it!
Where did she learn such a thing?

A Sweet Reward!
The girls have been participating in a reading program in school, and one of the prizes they earned was a delicious one:
A Free Baskin Robbins Ice Cream Scoop!
Needless to say, the whole family was excited to see them collect their surprise!
Why?
Because we get ice cream too!
And mom was happy because they even had some healthier ice cream options too called "Bright Choices"! Owen made it even healthier by eating half my ice cream!
Thanks Owen!

Imagination
I love that my children have one another! Yes they fight, but they also love to play with one another. Sometimes I hear them rooting around in the bedroom, and then, amid squeals of delight, they'll come running to show me what they've been up to! It's always a happy surprise, because you never know what they're going to come up with next!
Playing "mommy & baby".
Waterbabies
An Elmer Easter
Samuel and I love living close to both of our families, so getting together for the holidays is always a welcome scramble!
Samuel's arms are full with his newest niece and nephew! Parents of twins, triplets, and more, we don't know how you do it!
It's hard to believe this holiday's come and gone!
Next year we'll have a 10-month old!
