I want to be just like my Mommy...

Kathlena is Mommy's little shadow. I love that she wants to do and be all things Mommy. This is such a sweet time of modeling and learning. Admittedly, it can also drive you crazy at times but, moments like these captured on video remind me that having a little shadow is a good thing. I am reminded too that this time passes so quickly...I blink and she will be 15 videoing her younger siblings!

Mommy's Birthday

I had a wonderful birthday with my sweet family. We went to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs in 3D . A little different than the book, but still a good family movie. The kids had been re-reading this book all week. Andrew and Kathlena couldn't get enough of this book. They loved it. While I was really hoping that Andrew would be able to see the 3D this time it appears that he still cannot. That was okay with him he loved the movie anyway.

After the movie we went to The Goose's Acre restaurant in the Woodlands. We had not been here before, but heard that it was good. We had the wood fired pizzas that were yummy. We happened to be there on a night when they had a group of Irish dancers performing. It was really amazing how fast they could move their feet. We captured a few pictures above. Beautiful costumes also.

The kids surprised me with some sweet gifts they made and purchased. They are all so thoughtful and enjoyed being in on the surprise for me. It will be a sweet memory of the 6 of us. I cherish these days as they are about to change so quickly. We are all excited for that, but I am not wishing one of these days away any sooner. Each day is precious.
