Charity and her partner’s project.

Charity made a bunch of teeny cute produce out of clay.

On my walk one night.

Shy and Dario brought these by. Dario made Steve and I each a pretty chopstick set. 

My cousin Heather posted this old photo of us.

I remember those slippers I am wearing. I loved them!!

Steve took some kids down to Austin for a concert.

Hana’s brace off!

Had to get the obligatory “Before” photo^

Our weekend

On a walk with Charity.

On a walk on my own.


Anna pampering Charity.


Our friends the Arave’s had a really fun party to celebrate the launching of a new product of theirs.

And brunch with these guys.

The very first time Charity saw us at school and acted like she did not ...

Charity at school

We got the luck of finding a spot outside of Charity's classroom for Sam's luncheon. We could actually see her cute little face through the window. She was surprised to see us there!

On the wall outside of her classroom was this cute snowglobe craft.
With a cute little writing of hers.


As her class came filing out of the classroom, we watched her walk by and ignore us!
This was a first. And I got it on video.
When she came home from school her explanation was "Well you were videoing!"
She had a good point.

Sam’s award

Sam was the child his teacher chose this month to get the Character of the Month Award!
And what she wrote about Sam was really sweet too.



We got to come have lunch with him as part of the award.
And of course he was a complete delight.

We are proud of this sweet boy!
