One of Ian’s favorite things to do is blow bubbles! And one of Raven’s favorites things to do is eat bubbles!

Peter took all of these last Sunday while I was in the kitchen. I LOVE them!

The month began with my flu like sickness and unfortunately everyone else in the house has taken turns since. Peter spent his Spring break taking care of me. He was so sweet staying late in the mornings to let me sleep since that was the hardest time of day for me. He would come home, cook dinner if I hadn’t been able to, feed the boys, clean up, bathe them, and put them to bed every night…before dropping into bed himself. Thank you, Peter, for your sweet service to your family.

Here are some of the random photos from our month so far:

Peter’s cousin Richard is graduating from USC this Spring and invited all of his family to his senior recital the evening of Easter Sunday. What a great way to get everyone together for a holiday! The church was beautiful and Richard’s music was captivating, fun, and original. His hard work was evident and we’re all very proud of him! I was honored to have the privilege of documenting his recital in photographs, some of which I will post here. I know it was a monumental event in Richard’s life and I hope these capture the essence and atmosphere of his memories.

We love you, Richard! And WELL DONE!

Mom put together an amazing dinner at Great Grandma’s home with both sides of the family (hers and Dad’s) all together in one room! It was a great reunion and a wonderful mix of delightful (and brilliant) people. Thank you for all your hard work Mom! And thanks to everyone who made an effort to be there, we made wonderful memories.

She was here for one week, but she fit a whole month’s worth of activities into her short time here. She drove us to the beach one day, went on a hike with us another, and spent a day packing up her belongings to move back to Georgia. She did tons of other stuff, too, but I couldn’t keep up with her! Gigi, my sweet sister, thank you for coming and spending a week with us! I miss you already and my heart is lonely knowing you won’t be living eight minutes away to pop in for dinner every week. However, I am comforted knowing you are content where God has you right now and so grateful for all He is doing in your life. Thank you for everything. I love you!
