Five Years

Today is our five year anniversary. Holy cow! That went by quick. Thinking about the last five years makes my head spin a little and I need to sit down, because it has been a quite the ride. It's hard to believe all the things that we have done. I cannot believe it's been five years since our time in Cambridge! Holy cow! It feels like we just moved from there yesterday. I vividly remember specific days and events that happened there like it was just last week. And Cosette being born. That was like a second ago, well actually that was Raphael. 

 I still remember the first day I saw him. He was the most handsome guy I had ever seen. It's my anniversary so I can say sappy things about my love.  We had a class together and he was so brilliant. Always answering question, giving these brilliant answers, and points in all the class discussions, plus his good looks. I didn't have a chance. I was absolutely shocked when he asked me out, seriously. I did a double take when I saw his name on my caller ID. Well, I asked him out first, but then he asked me out again, and again, and again. 

I am very grateful for him. He does everything in his power to make my dreams come true, even the ones I mention off hand. It's wonderful to have someone like that. I am the luckiest girl in the world to have someone love me like he does. And he tells me just about everyday how grateful he is to have married me. 

Okay, I'll stop being so sappy. Here are some wedding photos, because I have never posted any. We did not get our wedding photos till Cosette was eight months old. That day at the temple was crazy, and so has our life since, but in the best way. Three degrees, three kids, four countries, oh it's been an adventure. 
























Happy Anniversary my love! You are Unforgettable baby!

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

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
