Happenings & Mother’s Day

It is almost the end of the school year and we are hanging on by a thread. This time of year is kind of torture because everybody else is already out of school, but since we get a late start to the year we don’t get out until mid July! The last month is never ending. We just keep moving forward, trying to make it to the freedom of summer. Meanwhile, Eva and I enjoy our errand runs, park days and lunch dates.

 

 

Here we were at the USO paying our road taxes and I had given her my phone to watch something while we waited. She sat down and crossed her little legs like a lady, it was SO CUTE! I wanted to take a picture but she had my phone so I couldn’t. I couldn’t handle the cuteness and wanted to freeze this moment in time so I asked her if I could borrow my phone. When she noticed I was going to take a picture, she gave me this smile! I love my little lady!

 

 

This is the result of Eva “braiding” her hair.

 

 

Rich bought her this necklace at Hong Kong Disney and this is how she wears it.

 

 

Maya had a cultural feast at school and wanted to bring homemade flour tortillas. I made a million mini tortillas and refried beans to make little burritos. They took forever but everybody loved them and I am so proud to be able to make tortillas just like my mom taught me.

This Mother’s Day Rich and the kids made me feel so special. I woke up to a special surprise.

 

 

We went to church and then took some pics afterward.

 

 

 

 

My sweet friend and neighbor, Laura, brought me flowers and a gift. She said that I have been a second mom to her baby girl, Penny, and she wanted to thank me on Mother’s Day. When you are far from family and miss out on loving on your own nephews and nieces, you adopt your friends babies and love them like family.

I’m behind, as usual, on blogging our adventures, but that doesn’t keep Rich from planning our next trips! Tomorrow, we are heading out on a ferry to Kumejima for 2 days!!! Excited for that and even more excited for our trip coming up in 2 weeks!

 

 

Adventures never end when you are married to Rich and I love it!
