Chorus Concert Field Trip

Thursday, June 1st, 2017

Chloe was 1 of 8000 students singing in the chorus at the Prudential Center tonight. I had no idea what kind of show they were rehearsing and it was amazing! Even Shane who was so reluctant to go said that he had a great time. 

 

I could see through my lens that Chloe was really into it and really singing and dancing! So happy to see her having a great time with her friends.

Well done everyone.

Cards & Gifts For Me

Sunday, May 14th, 2017

Chloe got me lovely cards and a letter!

Chloe also gave me a candle and a deck of postcards as presents and Shane made me a flower pot.

At the end of the day, I noticed I didn’t get anything written from Shane aside from things he made for me from school… I called him out and told him I was sad that he didn’t give me a card. 🙁  A few minutes later, this paper airplane landed on my bed.

Happy Mother’s Day

Sunday, May 14th, 2017

Andrew’s left yesterday for a business trip to Scotland and UK.
Chloe was sad about her dad leaving especially because he’ll miss mother’s day. She was also sick with a cold and allergies that she was stressing about for days for not being able to do much for me on mother’s day. She really is the sweetest girl!! As any mother’s would say, it’s the thought that counts! I know her heart and I am just so thankful for her love for me and her caring heart… I am so blessed!

She didn’t get me a beautiful breakfast-in-bed, but she did prepare breakfast for all of us, a simple toast and breakfast drinks before leaving early for church this morning.  She’s the best!


For lunch, I thought it would be nice to have my in-laws over for a meal to celebrate this special day with them . We had a lovely time. Happy mother’s day!
