Tonight we are proud parents. Our little Isa Faith had her Very FIRST dance recital. The recital was a very relaxed experience for all of us. Isa did great and we were just happy that she actually went on stage and did her performance. She looked so adorable in her costume and we couldn't help but beam with pride!
Knowing that her performance would only be around 3 minutes (and the whole show a little over an hour), we decided not to invite others. The exception of course being Isa's Gramma and Bapa who wouldn't miss her 1st recital no matter how long!
Great Job Isa, we love you so much!
Isa waited patiently for her turn (being a goofball of course with her Gramma and Bapa!)
Even though Tob doesn't like that his birthday seems to always fall around (or on) Mother's day... we have to say, it was a great weekend!
Today, I was spoiled, loved, and treated to one of the most relaxing days ever! For me... that is absolutely PERFECT! I was able to sleep in. I was awoken by happy little children bringing me precious pictures they had made for me (many displaying hearts that they have been working to master). I got my very own Kindle from a loving husband followed by breakfast made by him. What could be better.... well spending almost the entire day out on our deck. Sipping coffee, snuggling, playing with the kids, and sharing time with those we love. blessed. loved. perfect.

During our day, we also got a special visit from Bapa and Gramma. We took the opportunity to give Gramma her gift from all the cousins (her grandkids). She was "one lucky girl" as Isa put it.
We ended our evening with some smiles and laughs as Gabi decided she isn't too old to perform "the trick" and kept saying "again Daddy, again!" love MY LIFE!
May 12, another birthday, another day of fun filled activities. Even though our day started off a little hectic with lots of running around... it ended perfect! We were joined by loved ones to celebrate Tob's birthday. What a fun, relaxing evening. Can't get any better than this!
One of Tob's gifts was a canvas print of the kids on Tob's childhood climbing tree!
Today was definitely a packed Saturday. Our morning started off with bringing Tob breakfast in bed for his birthday, and then rushing off with our activities for the day! Little Gym for Gabi, Princess B-fast for Isa, and Soccer for Will!
Isa and Mommy attended The Olmsted Performing Arts Princess Breakfast. This was our first time, and we are glad we did it. There was a nice show with many of the princesses, and then we were off to a special room for a great breakfast. Each princess then came to every table and talked and took pictures with our little princesses. We had a great time with the Avarello girls and even met up with the Campbell girls =).
While I went shopping with the girls (to get ready for Tob's party), Tob took Will to his soccer game. He sure is coming a long way and we are so proud of him for giving it his all...
