Savannah made me a book at school for Mother's Day

I had the most wonderful Mother's Day with my two beautiful children and handsome husband. We dined at The Pond House. The food was delicious. It was unfortunate that is was cold and blustery, since it is on the grounds of a park and the gardens are gorgeous in nice weather. If only the weekends were reversed and Rich could have run in the cool windy weather and we could have had Mother's Day in the warmth. Oh well. It was still warm and beautiful in my heart. Then we did some shopping and I got a Sony Reader, which I love, but not as much as my family. They are truly my gifts everyday.

The pictures are in no order but cute and sweet and our memories. Enjoy! We are off to the Golden State in 4 days. Can't wait to be in sunny and warm CA and see old and new friends. If we can get through the flight, it will be joyous. I know I won't want to return home. I never do.

Don't know how long we can do this, but it is SOOOOO very cute. There are more toys than kids.

Serious rider. He had so much fun.

A whole bunch of random photos from the last few weeks. Our point and shoot disappeared again, so a new one is on the way for CA next week, so these photos are from Rich's Iphone. We have been having lots of fun and enjoying the weather when it is nice out. We spent a day at Six Flags Over New England and both kids had a ball in Looney Town, Wiggles World, and Thomas. So glad we got season passes. Savannah has been swimming and doing great. We also went down the Jersey Shore and Rich ran the Long Branch 1/2 Marathon in preparation for the big one this fall in D.C. We loved Long Branch and all the urban renewal into an array of beachfront condos, rentals, oceanview restaurants and upscale shops. The race was hot and humid, but Rich finished and his percentiles were right where they usually are since everyone was slowed down by the weather conditions. We also celebrated Rich's Dad's birthday and got to visit with my aunt at her condo (who cheered Rich on the entire race). It was a busy and fun weekend.

Savannah had her 4 year old check up and she is happy and healthy! She is 37 lbs and 39 inches tall.

Seth still isn't walking, but he is standing and climbing and very active. I just got him the snazzy new wheels above since he loves his stroller and still sleeps like a champ. Love that happy go lucky drooly boy. We celebrated Boys Day, a Japanese Holiday celebrated on May 5th. Of course we had Seth's favorite Japanese delicacies.

We can't wait to fly to California next week and meet and see all our friends from our agency and their cuties from Japan. It will be a great reunion.
