In the Moment

A^4 are sad today as Great Aunt Freda, "Auntie" Kathy's Mom, and Grandpa Ric passed away this weekend.  We are sending our love to Grandma Pat, Aunt Shirley, to our dear friend Kathy, and to Grandma Collene and all of Grandpa Ric's family.  Mommy and Daddy hope to instill in our kids that we should live our lives "in the moment" and to try not to take people and everyday life for granted.

Monday:
Mommy dancing with Addie...too bad Mommy choose that moment to "take a nap"!  (Notice Mommy's right hand placement on Addie...it becomes very important in the next picture.)


Diiip!



Tuesday:
Gianna stopped by for a visit...she gave Mommy a bracelet that she had made.  Thanks, Gianna!
Ayson getting a ride from Gianna.  Addie: "Wait for MEEEeeeeeee!"



Gianna even got to try some of Daddy's Vietnamese noodle soup, Pho.



Wednesday:
Addie helping Mommy clean the "play room"



On Wednesday night, Ayson woke up with a horrible cough and we found out on Thursday that he had croup.  That certainly was scary for Ayson, Mommy, and Daddy!  By Thursday afternoon, Addie had a runny nose but luckily the cold did not progress into croup.  Mommy stayed home with the kiddos on Thursday and Friday.
The below picture is from Friday: our first snow fall of the 2013 season...it did not stick.



Saturday:
Ayson constructed an awesome block building with tunnels...which "Godzilla" Addie promptly knocked down after the picture was taken :)



Sunday:
Bath time Mohawks!!!
