Did you catch Peter’s comment on the last post?

The dog gets very, very excited about bubbles and she busted Ian’s nose trying to eat the bubbles AS he was blowing them. So he’s decided that he needs a safe place to blow bubbles.

Besides bubbles, Ian’s been enjoying ladybugs, which his older brothers are very good at catching and they let him hold them.

Ian is putting two and three words together frequently every day: “Daddy car, go.”. Sometimes it’s a statement, most of the time it’s a question. He wants to hear “Yes, Daddy drove his car to work”, or “Yes, Daddy drove his car to school”. And if he’s up when Daddy comes home in his car, Ian LOVES to sit in Daddy’s car with him. 🙂

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.
