After lunch we headed to Sands field to watch Charlie (Ann’s son and someone the boys idolize) play soccer. Ann had left lunch a little before us, as to not miss any of the game and when they saw her at the field the ran as fast as they could into her open arms. It’s a wonder they didn’t knock her over. Anyhow, Charlie’s a great soccer player and the game was fun to watch. I got a few good pics of the action but it’s tough to be a sports photographer while you’re trying to keep track of 3 active preschoolers. Nothing like a roll down a grassy hill to end an afternoon at the soccer field.

It’s Dee’s birthday and we’ve been trying to do our best to spoil her. We had Sawatdy’s thai food (YUM!) for dinner and I baked her a chocolate zucchini cake at her request. The boys have been excited all day and they even sang to her at the breakfast table this morning, she was already at work but they were practicing for the “real” singing with the cake.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA DEE, hope it was a great one!

And…here we go!
1. I enjoy my boys.
2. Life can be a challenge, but in the end it’s all good.
3. In my heart, I know it’ll all work out.

5. Life has gifted me with amazing, supportive friends.
6. A day without tantrums is an instant vacation.
