Henry is Three!

 September 17 my baby boy turned three. He is my child that challenges me most. He has taught me patience, long suffering (haha), what it means to truly love, learning to love through service, how to be very very flexible, when it's best to pick my battles, etc. He has really pushed me in so many ways. And I love this little boy more than words can express.

 He is the funniest person I have ever met. He is so funny. He has me laughing about something every day. I love him so much.
This year has been a very intense year with him. He is all boy and has more energy than the energizer bunny. He loves fruit and veg. He eats carrots like candy. He loves chocolate ice cream. His favorite color is still orange. He loves going to the zoo. He asks to go just about everyday. He loves to go swimming in the little pool at our place. His favorite show is Wild Kratts. He loves motorcycles. He waves to all the motorcyclists whenever we cross the street. He is extremely curious and inquisitive. He loves BB-8. His favorite stuffed animal is his "pet lizard" named rocky. Paw Patrol is another favorite.

 His birthday was not celebrated like I wanted it to be. I was so sick, which I feel like is a lame excuse, Lyndon had to go into work twice that day. He came back so we could go out and have some ice cream for Henry's birthday. It is a good things that he is only three. We did our best to make his day special and its been the birthday that goes on and on because we keep doing it in pieces. Ice cream on this day, cake on this day, oh here's a present on another day. It's been scattered just like my brain these days, but we have to celebrate our Mr. H.

His face right here reminds me how sweet and loving he is. Seriously the sweetest boy there ever was. 
Here is the proof that he is.

Happiest Birthday to you my dear sweet Henry!

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
