Happy Mother's Day

Aloha! Talofa! Mabuhay! Maayong adlaw! Gruss Gott! Ni Hao! Our wishes are that this little post finds you well!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. We especially want to wish our moms, Mom Edna and Mom Ellen, a very wonderful Mother’s Day. You did wonderful things bringing us up and teaching us to be good people and we would like to thank you for all your love and the sacrifices you made for us. This day should really be for you! Motherhood really is a blessing.

Hubby got me a large digital frame, Jasmine got me a scrapbook, and together they got me flowers and a cake. Then came the Manny Pacquiao fight. Go Manny!

Things here are always busy, as usual. With work, school for Jasmine, and everything else, it gets quite hectic at times! But, seeing Jasmine grow into a proper little princess makes it all worth the effort.

Hubby has had some folks offer him money for his photos. He’s really getting good at taking wonderful pictures, and Jasmine has become his photo assistant and number one model. It’s nice seeing her and daddy share an interest in photography and work together at it.

Jasmine is doing so very well in school, her teachers are great and she loves them! Her report cards have been great and she is reading on her own and writing sentences on her own. She knows how to sound things out and she is able to follow through on her ideas and thoughts. Of course, she still loves singing and dancing, too! She practices them and makes great use of her ever-growing list of words to make songs that make sense!

Well, here are some pics taken by hubby. I hope you will enjoy them!
