Boys Four Generation Photo Session

While in Utah we got the boys together and took a four generation photo. I have taken a couple with my Momma, Grandma, and Cosette and they are so nice to have (picture here). I really wanted H to have one with his Dad, Grandpa, and Great Grandpa whose middle name by the way is Henry as well. I hope that my kids will see these pictures as they go throughout their lives and know that they have met their great grandparents and grandparents. My relationship with my grandparents is very special to me and I hope that my kids can have wonderful relationship with theirs. Grandparents are the best!
On the left Great Grandpa Roger, Grandpa Phil, Daddy, and Henry. Henry I hope you know that you are so loved. So, so, so, so, loved.
While at the studio we got some of the kids together. It's their first real photo session as siblings. My heart is melting.
And then this happened in several pictures. Really, what in the world Cosette? I guess Henry's ear is yummy? I don't know. It was pretty funny. Just so you know, she did not actually bite him.
And we got a nice one with Grandma Emily and Grandpa Phil. Babies you are so loved!
We have not gotten any pictures of Henry since he was born. I had a special deal when Cosette was little and was able to get her photo taken once a month so we have tons of her, but none of this little fella. That is going to change really fast. We have to document his babyhood. I love this picture of him because it really illustrates his sweetness. He is the sweetest little boy. Henry you are so loved! You and Cosette own my heart.
We got a few family photos. I love Lyndon's long hair, especially when he styles it. If he does not style it he has big Albert Einstein hair. It is HUGE! Cosette's little smile cracks me up. That illustrates her little personality. She has a big, beautiful, bright one.
And one to hang on our wall. These kiddos grow up and change so quickly that I think it is necessary to take family photos often to document each stage of the their lives. This stage I guess would call our nomadic existence or Daddy has long hair, haha. These photos also help remind me how lucky I am to have my little family. They are so precious to me. My heart is so full with love for them. I don't think this kind of love it can be understood until you have a family of your own. I certainly did not understand it until Cosette was born (best day of my life was becoming a mother). It might be different for other people, but this is how it is for me. Lyndon, Cosette, and Henry there are not enough words in the universe to describe how much I love you. I hope you all know that you are very loved by me. I love you three to the moon and back.

Traveling Half Way around the World

Image
We made it to Manila! We flew over the US and the Pacific Ocean to get here. Our total travel time was 55 hours. It was long but surprisingly not bad at all. Cosette was an angel and the Haneda Airport in Tokyo was like a hotel. If those two things had been any different attitude in writing would not be so positive. This odessy of a journey begun way before our first flight. Packing up our apartment for our subletters took a lot longer than we supposed it would. So instead of being refreshed and ready for the long trip over we were tried and I did not want to get out of bed. We got enough sleep to keep on going till our flight from NYC to San Fransicso where we tried to rest. That flight for me was the worst. Cosette did sleep but was up for a lot of it. The plane was cramped and Lyndon and I were seperated by the aile. Thankgoodness for kind and patient people who sat next to us. Playing at the San Fransico airport.   Our flight to Japan was awesome. We had a

Remote Learning Part 1

Image
Remote learning is over for now, thank goodness. We have been doing remote learning since March 20. We are experts at google classroom, zoom meetings, and google meets. It's been rough, but we did it!  This post is long and detailed about what each kid had to do everyday for school. It was intense. The kids did wonderfully. Their teachers are amazing! They worked around the clock to learn all the new technology, meeting with students individually. I received personal phone calls from them asking what they could do to help and also talking to my kids. I am so grateful for the teachers they had this year.  All three kids participated in remote learning. Each grade/teacher did something different. What they all had to do was answer and attendance question by noon, read for thirty minutes a day, and I-ready (an assessment program that helped determine where they were in math and reading).  Third Grade: Cosette's assignments were what she was doing in school. She completed two huge

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! This has become one of my favorite holidays in the last few years. This year especially I am really into it. It probably has to do with my sweet Lyndon who proposed to me on V-Day four years ago. Since then he has made Valentine's Day a fun and special day. He always surprises me with something fun. Usually we go eat some where fabulous and go see a ballet or opera. He likes to do something cultural on this speical day. This year I am getting into the spirit more. Cosette can do a lot more things. We made special Valentine's for our families and made yummy cookies. She kept sneaking cookie dough and eating it. She is my daughter.  The finished product waiting for Lyndon. I went to the Cake Boss Bakery last year to get Lyndon something for V-day and was inspired to make the dark chocolate bowls filled with chocolate covered strawberries. It was a lot easier that I anticipated. Oh, and that cloth on the table are the pajama pants
