The Ball, Mother's Day, and The Bed

HKIS has an annual fundraising ball every year, and a family was so kind as to sponsor our tickets.  So fun to play dress up for a night!

Getting ready for church on Mother's Day with my two little loves.

These two are obsessed with our bed.  At least once every day (usually more) they are trying to jump, wrestle, or (occasionally) pretend to sleep on it.  This just happened to be a day where they were playing nicely and not attacking each other.

House Hunting

See this house?  See how is says PENDING?  After a couple of super crazy weeks, we've had an offer accepted on this house in Silver Spring, MD, just outside of DC.  Let me tell you, it's been a crazy ride…and it's nowhere near over yet.  I can't even begin to relay all that's happened in the last 10 days, but let's just say it's really difficult to buy a house from 12 time zones away and we're TIRED but hopeful and thankful for God's provision!  

Two Cuties

Curled up in a ball on my leg. ❤️

Dancing around and playing the recorder. So happy! :)

Vietnam, Part 2

So I'm slightly behind in getting these up, but here are the other Vietnam photos.  Better late than never!  These were mostly taken at our resort where we spent days playing at the pool, or in the old town part of Hoi An where we went each evening for dinner.

Lanterns galore

This would be why the kids enjoyed the pool so much!

Paradise

The evening light on the old, yellow buildings was lovely.

This kid loves smoothies.

Last night.  Best trip ever!

Off to Work

Elise is "off to work" in her high-heeled shoes and underwear! 

Finley is Five!

Starting the day with one of Finley's favorites-- oatmeal-- but made specially with birthday sprinkles!

Birthday dinner at Finley's absolute favorite restaurant, Din Tai Fung. This child can put away some dumplings!

Home for chocolate cupcakes with chocolate icing, as per the birthday boy's request.

5 YEARS OLD!

Digging in!

Time for some gifts, like this off brand playdough dim sum set.  (Was trying to decide between buying that or the sushi set!)

Finley's main birthday request-- flippers!  YES!

Day After the B-day...

Sweetness in the taxi, coming home from taking Elise to the doctor for infected mosquito bites from Vietnam.

Opening gifts sent from Grandmommy, Granddad, Granny & Papa! 

Happy birthday to our sweet Finley!  Can't believe he's 5 already!!  

Elise's First Haircut

Milestone alert @ 2.5 years old: Elise got her first haircut-- just a trim to get rid of her tangly baby ends. She did great!!
