Snapshot of April

April in Golden Gate Park is pretty perfect!

I've been wishing to write my blog more but to be honest...what do I say?

haha

My kids are growing and changing...

(do I exist to them?)

we aren't building the house yet...

(can that please happen soon God?)

there is a lot of waiting...

a lot of holding on around here:)

so here are some details of life around here

Still life above my sink 

Audrey decided to make a "conference cake" 

and it was to die for.

some unusual April warm weather

felt like a socal day

I mean, I wore shorts.

 That's saying something!

We have a future athletic event face painter

Teachers versus 8th grade bball game :)

*took several soaked cottonballs of make up remover to remove

haha

Our Easter table

unfortunately, the daffodils died before Easter Sunday arrived

Spring Break was spent doing local things with these 3!

Gardens, Japantown, Golden Gate Park, long walks, 

I made them read, and we ate out almost everyday!

(the last one was my idea haha)

they also went to their fist concert at the Warfield

I love their friendship:)

(one of those long walks I mentioned)

here: the tee shirt he has to hide from friends

haha

I hand painted some wooden eggs for Easter and pretty pleased with myself:)

I've been meeting Clay for drinks after work when he's in town!

And when I say drinks I mean 2 large Dr. Peppers at the Taco Bell Cantina

 on the beach :)

And here is a Lucy update.

Five months in and she declared how much she loves being a missionary!

Here she is reuniting with Sister Shoell, her mtc comp at a Zone Conference :)

(behind them is the Lisbon Temple!)

So so happy  with Sister Robinson!

Last but not least....Half Moon Bay High School Prom at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk.

We literally opened the car door and Henry leapt out. 

Here is one of 3 pictures.

Where he is not pictured.

hahaha

Things are afoot at the circle k for him :)

(name that movie!)

And so this is our April. 

It's been good.

We are just living our life and I am trying to breathe instead of holding my breath all the time.

Onward to May craziness and graduation and moving parts that will hopefully all come together!

Tchau Tchau as Lucy says :)
