Swim season has began and pool is open!

We opened our home pool this sunday. It was hot and humid and Chris gave Emma a great idea she gladly accepted about opening the pool. The water was cold but we added some warm and she was good to go. Nora was not sharing in the enthusiasm of swimming in cold water. She did warm up to the idea after watching Emma for a bit but only to soak her feet.

Playdate at our house

Fridays are my days off and we usually try to get together with friends. This friday our friends Clarks, Boys and Ritsemas came over to hang out. It was apacked house but we had fun. I had a great time catching up with moms:) and kids played good -sometimes together and sometimes just by themselves. Nora and John Parker were excited to hang out together as soon as they both woke up from their naps. Elliott and Emma played pretty good together. Clarked was just roaming around the house and entertaining himself.


Nora and JP were best buds after a minute:)

Elliott is just excited

Emma was busy cooking

Everyone is on the porch and eating lunch.

Picnic with Ty

last Saturday we had play date with my friend Anna and her son Ty. We went to the Choo choo train park in old Norcross and then came back to our house for a picnic lunch. We did not take any pictures in the park but we got some from the lunch.

 
 
 
 

Easter Fun!!!

Here are some Easter pictures. I am trying to be a bit more on top of things:) Last week we went to our pastor's house for the annual Egg Hunt. Emma was very excited and looked in every hole possible to find some. My boss Kerry got her this cute Tweedy Bird basket and she was so excited about it. As she was looking for the eggs, she noticed other kids running and looking for some and she told me "mom, i don't want those other kids to take my eggs".

On Good Friday i stayed home in the morning and Emma and I had a great time coloring eggs and making Easter cards. Emma did a great job coloring the eggs with paint, especially since this was her first time doing it (at least at home). She also loved putting easter stickers on.

Yesterday, on actual Easter day we hid eggs all over our front and back yard and invited our neighbors Pedro and Alondra to join Emma for the hunt since Nora is too little. Emma loved that her buddies were there and she could enjoy all the treats with them afterward. Nora enjoyed the time as much playing with grandpa who came over for dinner. We remembered the story of Easter and why we celebrate. It is interesting how amazed the kids faces get when they realize that the stone is moved and Jesus has risen. Wish we all have that kid like amazement when we celebrate Jesus rising from the dead. Happy Easter to all! May you all find the joy and meaning that Easter brings!

Real Snow this time!

In February we actually got somereal snow.And we got a lot of it.It even stayed for 2 days and we couldplay in it. Make snow balls and snowman. Emma had a blast. Her aunts were in town from washington so she could even enjoy the snow with them. Chris of course had the most fun from all.Norica unfortunately did not experience this fully since she was sick with her 2nd (or maybe 3rd even) ear infection in a row. Poor little girl. But oh well, she did watch it from the inside of the house. Luckily she doesn't know what she was missing out on.Snow in Atlanta-rarity:)
Enjoy the pics.
