Celebrations this week

This week Hebron and I celebrated our 9th anniversary and his xxth birthday.  He and I are the same age so I guess I don't want to admit how old I really am.  I still think I am 29.  I guess that was a good year.  Anyways, Hebron took me to dinner at Stone Korean at 4th Embarcadero center in SF and then we went to see the musical Wicked at the Orpheum theater with orchestra seats.  I have not seen a musical in soooo long, I think the last one was Mama Mia, which had to be before Joshie (he is already 4).  We don't usually go because it is expensive.  When we do go, we always get the cheap balcony seats where I can't see the facial expression of the actors.  This time we were really close.  I can see their faces.  Wow, what a treat!  Just don't think about the cost.

Yesterday, for Hebron's birthday, we went to Marina in SL for picnic and kite flying.  We brought a tent there and picnic inside the tent.  The boys loved it.  Now, they can't wait to go camping.  Maybe we should start by camping out in our backyard first.

Caleb's T-ball game

Caleb started T-ball in April. At the beginning, he didn't like using the glove, now he actually likes it.

How Thoughtful!

It seems like I am always upset at the boys for not obeying instructions.  But from time to time, they can surprise me.  This past Mother's day, the boys (with the help of Daddy), brought me flowers from the garden, made me a card, and made me breakfast in bed.  Caleb knows I like savory breakfast, so he suggested that they make me ham and cheese.  Which I like more than pancakes or cereals.

Today Caleb showed me how thoughtful he is.  I forgot to sign a form that he needed to turn in.  After I dropped him off, I usually wait outside of class to see if he needs anything.  He looks fine, so I started to walk to my car.  He ran after me with the form and asked me to sign.  And he brought along a pencil too!
He knew I didn't have my purse and so I didn't have a pen or pencil.  He must have thought about it before running after me, in order to remember to bring a pencil too.  I have always hope that my boys will grow up to be kind, compassionate, sensitive, and thoughtful young men.  I know it's a small thing, but this tells me Caleb is on his way.
