Prayers for Emmit & family...

Yesterday, we received sad news that the mother of Melia's classmate passed away on Tuesday. We want to express our sincere sympathy during this difficult time & want you to know that our prayers are with you all. 

Big hugs for you, Emmit!...Melia's brave friend.

Spring Break 2009

Last week was Melia's Spring Break & she had a ball! She spent time with Daniela, her daddy & bubbas and then we drove down to San Diego on Wed night. Of course, we stayed with my mom & Anna. Thurs we spent the beautiful afternoon in La Jolla. Walked along the water, looked at some sea lions & drank some smoothies at a local coffee shop called The Living Room. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed our conversations together. Just sitting in the front of the coffee shop, people-watching & bonding with my baby at sunset. Does it get any better than that? After that, we met up with a girlfriend of mine from junior high school - Michele Ota. I had such a great time trying to catch up on things with her. Can't wait to meet her family...next time. Friday we visited Shamu on yet another beautiful day. I love that place, but it could've been warmer since we got soaked on some rides. And then Sat, we hung out at the zoo. Anyone who knows me, knows the zoo is my absolute FAVORITE!!! There were quite a bit of babies animals to see...it must be Spring Time! We had a great visit & can't believe how fast it went by. Enjoy some photos of our trip...

HAPPY EASTER 2009

We hope you all had a blessed Easter! We spent the first half of the day at Kaiser. She just hasn't been feeling well all week & starting Friday, I think it all just rolled up into today. Last night she was burning up & had an earache - that ALWAYS freaks me out! As you can see here, after a soothing bath, she quickly started coming back to me. Lucky girl had several Easter Egg Hunts today. I'm so glad she's doing better. 

We had a great couple of days with grandma/great-grandma 

& my mom and Anna. Of course, we watched the Masters  which was pretty exciting. We stopped by Gary's on the way home, but they weren't home. Now, I'm preparing the crust for my Spring Quiche. We're having a Spring Brunch tomorrow at work & I'm so looking forward to it. 

Have a wonderful Monday!

GOOD FRIDAY

Today is Good Friday & it commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus. I will be spending it at work & won't be quite fasting; however, I think a nice salmon filet is in my near future. How will you be spending Good Friday & Easter? Whatever you decide, I wish you a safe & wonderful weekend filled with family & friends!!!

On another note, I wanted to acknowledge rookie Angels' pitcher Nick Adenhart, whose life was taken way too soon. Early yesterday morning just hours after he had a stellar performance on the mound, he was a victim of a hit & run accident that took his life as well as 2 others. Our hearts & prayers are with you & your loved ones...RIP Nick.

Happy Spring!

Spring is definitely here! Absolutely beautiful weather this weekend & another beautiful day tomorrow (Monday) before the showers come back for Tues night & Wed. I was lucky enough to attend a gorgeous wedding this past Saturday & like I said, it was beautiful weather. Michele looked absolutely stunning & the reception wasn't any different. Congratulations to Michele & Danijel! 

Next week, Melia is on her Spring Break & I'm trying to figure out what to do w/her during that time. I would like to take a day or 2 off to spend w/her. We'll see. Towards the end of this month is her school Open House. Her teacher is awesome & has the class creating great projects! The room is decorated so whimsically...I love it! I am so grateful to have Mrs Reid as Melia's Kindergarten teacher!
