Braden's Birthday

Braden has turned 4 years old. I can hardly believe it! This year he received his first big bike, with training wheels of course. He loves it. We took him outside to try out the bike on the night of his birthday, but ever since he has been practicing riding it in the house because it is so dark in the evening. I am sure we will get him outside again soon.

This was from the night of his birthday. It was so cold outside.

Happy Birthday Braden!

Halloween

We had such a nice time with friends tonight for Halloween. We went 'trick or treating' early because it was going to rain. It was the warmest and most humid Halloween I have ever experienced. (72 degrees) The kids were actually too hot and we took off the tops of their outfits so they could cool off. That was a first! Here are some pictures and videos from the evening.

Just in case you are wondering, I am a butterfly, Brian was Sherlock Holmes, Braden was a tiger and Reese was a kitty.

They actually smiled at the same time!!!!!!

What have we been up to?

Well, where do I begin after months of no posts? I am not too sure! I guess I can start with the exciting news that I have returned to work. I had been looking for the right time and right job to re-enter the workforce and I found it. I am very passionate about health education and community programs and know that I have so much to offer. I am working at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Shock Trauma. I working on the behalf of Trauma Survivors.

Other events that have kept us busy are....

Reese turning two!!!! My baby girl is getting so big.

We have also attended a few weddings. The first was my brothers. He and Yi were married in Frankenmuth. Below is a picture of Reese hugging the big pig in downtown Frankenmuth. We had such a wonderful time.

The second wedding we attended was that of a long time friend of mine, Jenine, to Miles Brown. It was, also, a beautiful weekend of events for this lovely couple.



We have also spent some time in downtown Baltimore. We took the kids on a carousal ride and Reese had to ride the pig. (Are you seeing a theme?)

We have also spent some time at a farm in Maryland with Nursery Rhyme figures displayed throughout the grounds. It was really fun and we were able to pick up a few little pumpkins and take a hay-ride while we were there.

So sorry

I am so very sorry that I have not updated in a while! I will try and get to that asap. Stay tuned.....

Pictures from the pool

Now that Braden and Reese are more comfortable in the water, I was able to snap a few pictures of them while they were playing!




I bought them a 'special treat' at the pool today...and one for me too!
