Kids are making a birthday cake for their grandfather and I’m just here to help.

Ta da~

Tonights special: Maryland Blue Crabs

I over ordered and had so much leftovers. ;P

We are grilling Kalbi BBQ in the backyard today.

My parents arrived from Korea last week and they brought one of my nephews to spend this summer with us! We are so happy to have you!

So this year, we have two great dads in the house!

Chloe’s pom to her dad…so sweet.

We also got him a backpack from Lo & Sons.

I’m having some girlfriends over tonight and here’s what I made:

Blackberry Ginger Moscow Mule

Ina Garten’s Baked Shrimp Scampi

Limoncello fruit Salad with lemon yogurt topping (also Ina Garten’s recipe)

Ready for a party!

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!

Tonight calls for spinach and avocado pesto filled cheese with cannelloni bean salad for dinner which Chloe did most of the prep cooking.

Kids and I sat on the porch and had this simple and delicious dinner sans the golfer Dad.

There they go again… rolling on the grass on top of each other.

It never gets old seeing flower trees bloom all around our house in the spring time.

Seeing massive cherry blossoms at BBG was very nice but it’s also lovely to enjoy our garden in a quiet comfort of home, away from the crowd. 

A little family photoshoot before going to church.

We were not successful getting all 4 of us in 1 pictures… Sigh.

Shane took this picture. I love how the focus is on Chloe and not us. Haha
