Tessa's First Dance Recital

Ssshhh.... Don't tell Tessa you saw this. While she did absolutely amazing at her first dance recital, Tessa refused to let us share video and made it really hard for us to take her picture.

A little fun on Begonia Court

Carlsbad Fires

Quite the week. We were very fortunate that our kids, family and home were untouched by the fires this week. But it was a very scary situation the Kim and the kids so amazingly dealt with when leaving the school. This is a picture of the school on that Wednesday when they were evacuating. I came back from Hawaii late that night.

Mothers Day

Mother's Day Morning...

Me to Owen and Tessa: hey one of the things mommy really wants today is for us to clean up today, so let's not make big messes

Owen: right, because we don't want to clean.

Ballet pictures

These shots are all that I was able to get of Tessa. On one hand she loved the fact that she had make up on (first time!) but in the other hand she was so embarrassed and didn't want anyone to take her picture.

After pictures we had to stop at the grocery store but Tess refused to get out of the truck and go in. She won out. We went home. But I am so glad to have been able to have these few pictures of her.
