Waking Up to a Pleasant Surprise

A couple of days ago, I woke up to the sound of someone opening our front door. I quickly ran downstairs to inquire. And what did I find.....Mike sneaking into the house holding this bouquet of flowers. I love surprises and lilies...I love Lilly-surprises!! What a blessing it is to have a sweet and thoughtful husband such as he.

Technology for the Building of the Body

Every Friday night, we host our bible study (C.O.R.E - Christ Our Redeemer Exalted) and since I'm the only one with a small child, we no longer have a regular-scheduled nursery. That leaves me to watch Kaykay during the messages, and though it's a pleasure spending time with her, I do miss hearing the messages. Tonight, Mike had a brilliant idea! He told me to get the camera portion of Kaykay's monitor and put it downstairs so that I can watch and listen to the message...Why didn't we think of it sooner!!!

So tonight, I was able to not only tend to my daughter and minister to her, I was also minister too by the message, via our baby monitor!!!

Happy Frog

One of my dear sisters, Elaine, invited us to join her and her daughter to Happy Frog, which is a big warehouse full of jumpees. I had thought Kaykay would stick to the traditional jumpee but she, and Mason, got all brave and went down the slides by themselves. Thinking that she would change her mind when she got to the top of the slide, she bravely let go of my hand, sat down and off she went. She even climbed up 3/4 of the way by herself. Mind you, I went down the slide and didn't realize how fast you go down.

After going down the slide about 5 times, she decided to go down on her stomach. You can hear Jen pleading her not to go down on her stomach, but she was determined! Fearless!!!

Here is Mason; ladies and gentlemen, please do not attempt this at home. No worries, this "slide" didn't phase him at all.

Academy of Fine Arts

Last week, Kaykay and I, along with my parents and sister, visited the Academy of Arts in SF. It was a lovely day to be in the city. I was a bit reminiscent of this place for this is where Mike took me on our first date. Although there were many exhibits to experience, Kaykay found herself enjoying the toddler play area the most. (She is a bit too young to fully enjoy any of the exhibits.) And her favorite thing to do was to chase after the ducks in the pond.
