Days to Remember: May 2009

Our Tobiah is growing up fast. He has his first loose tooth, has grown 3 inches since this time last year, and is off to kindergarten next year. Unbelievable.

May 4th was his half-birthday, which we celebrated with half a cake and one present.

May 28th was Toby's preschool Open House:

He proudly showed me around his classroom.

He played his last t-ball game of the season Saturday, May 23rd. It was great to see how much all the players improved in their skills. Toby had a great time and played well!

Had to get a picture of the dugout scene.

Here is Asher with his posse of little brothers who would run around and get dirty while their older siblings played t-ball.

And lastly, Tim and I took Toby to his first movie! He has always loved animals, so when we saw that the documentary Earth was out we decided that would be a great show for him to see in the theater. (Debbie babysat Asher.) It was a time for us to do something special with Toby, since he is growing up quickly and is about to enter a whole new phase of life next school year. Sigh.

April Recap

Most of my computer time lately has been spent translating a lengthy document from English to Spanish for a family friend, but I wanted to update my blog with some recent pictures before I get too behind!

My parents visit in April was full of fun outings and time together:

Here are two love birds in a nest...my mom and dad inside a sculpture at the arboretum made of live willow branches. The kids call it "the fort".

Grandma enjoys time with Asher at the park.

My parents generously allowed Tim and I to take advantage of their free babysitting to go away for the weekend to Santa Barbara, a place I've wanted to go to since we moved to California. It was as beautiful as everyone had described it.
