First I have to say I don't have any accompanying photos for this post, mostly due to the fact that my darling children mainly Adri and Liv need to up load their photos to my computer. So saying that I'd like to share whats been going on for the last few weeks here in the Marin household.
The End of March brought us to celebrate my Daughter Adrienna's 16th birthday! Along with my Dads. She has the great distinction of being born on his birthday. My Mom and Dad were able to fly in for the weekend and we had such a great time with my dad preaching in our church Sun morning and just hanging out. He did some "honey do" fixer uppers that my overworked honey hasn't gotten to get around to. Mon eve we had a surprise birthday party for him and Adrie. It was a lot of fun with good friends and family. My dad had to get back home and to work but my mom got to stay for the rest of the week. All the kids(including my nieces and nephews ) were on Spring Break and so we played tourists around San Diego. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and we visited Old Town, Sea Port Village, Coronado, all those beautiful places we have here, I really encourage you to come and visit me here, theres so much to do and see and a lot of it can be done for free! Now don't I sound like the tourism board, ha-ha. All in all it was so nice to spend the time with my mom and sisters and all of our kids. We also celebrated Jessica's 11th birthday and I took her and her friend to the family fun center where they got to play miniature golf and got to drive themselves in the Go carts for the first time and ride all the little rides, it was so much fun to watch them.
Easter we celebrated the Resurrection with a great sermon from my husband and communion and then a potluck with our church family , all in all a great time of food and fellowship.
Our last week of Spring Break the weather turned a little stormy and cold but I managed to get some housework, and laundry done. The kids and I did some walk/running around the neighborhood for some exercise, Isaac is such a crack up ,everytime I'd switch from walking to running he'd yell "Run Like the Wind Mommy!" Oh its hard to run and laugh at the same time . He also discovered the joy of monopoly and its been a great tool to teach him how to make change-as he likes being the "banker" Fun times!
Monday we will be back at school for 5 more weeks and then summer vacation! Woohoo I can't wait. In the meantime we countdown for our conf coming up here in a few weeks where we will get a much needed time of refreshening and encouragement, I can't wait for that too. Hope all of you in blogland are doing well , and thanks for checking in to see how we're all doing:)
