Kids have been taking tennis classes on Mondays.

At the end of a lesson they have a race.

I can’t count how many times kids told me “l love you” today. Shane especially…every time our eyes met he would tell me that. He really is the sweetest boy ever!

I can’t hold this monkey much any more. She’s getting too big for me.

Happy Mother’s day to my mom in Korea! I love you~~

Shane couldn’t wait till Sunday to give me his gifts. Drawing of me by Shane. 

So my kids still come to our bed in the early morning and we all wake up from the same bed. Chloe not so much any more but this morning, she was sleeping next to me and on my other side, there was Shane. It was 6 a.m. and I was lying down contemplating whether I should go to a yoga class before church when I felt Chloe quietly getting up and  I saw her leaving the room. Then a few seconds later, Andrew got up and left, followed by Shane. It was funny to see how they were going out one by one tip toeing across the room.

I’m guessing Andrew was in charge of the eggs…yes those are eggs…deliciously burnt outside but runny in the inside.

I knew it was this sweet face’s idea to get me a breakfast in bed.
Also at 6:20 a.m.

She also had piles of cards and gifts that she worked on all week.

I laughed when I saw that beer box. Oh Andrew… you couldn’t find her a different box? lol

Chloe made me a jewelry box.

I was very impressed that she created “A mother’s day monopoly game” for us to play. It was super detailed and really well thought out. So special!
Shane also made me a  flower shaped pottery dish.

I’m the luckiest!!!

Tonight I’m so excited that Chloe’s going to try eating sushi for the first time. We went out to a Japanese restaurant to have a dinner with Chloe’s friend and her mom. It’s my small treat to this sweet family who’s always baking us sweet treats every week. 🙂

We had so much fun and Chloe LOVED her first sushi experience. She had 3 pieces of salmon, California rolls and a salmon hand roll. She was stuffed! What a delicious way to start this mother’s day weekend! 😉

Shane and Andrew went golfing and they also had a great bonding time.

Coffee tables from Jonathan Adler

Korean style noodle. Simple & delicious.

It finally feels like a spring weather so we decided to grill kalbi and eat outside in the backyard.

Chloe gave me a big thumb up. (Believe me, it’s not easy getting her approval.)

Andrew’s practicing his swing in-between eating and grilling.

Kindergarteners had a concert in the school auditorium,

and did a short sweet skit in the classroom about planting trees.

Shane lost his FIRST tooth last night!!!

They also  planted flowers in front of the school building.

Happy green thumb day!

Back to our sports. Go Shane!

Last delicious meal in this beautiful island…
