Keith had a long, but productive 15 day trip to Asia. He spent one week in Japan and then split the second week in South Korea and Taiwan. We had just hung up from talking as the earth quake hit in Taiwan. He was on his way to another costumer. He saw and felt the roads rumble. He was very lucky that nothing serious happened and he was able to continue on to his customer without much delay.
I am not exactly sure what cities the pictures below include, but all of the ones with flowers are from Japan during the cherry blossom festival. I received lots of wonderful pictures of food and the places he was able to visit between work. It seemed like an amazing experience from both a life point of view and a career point of view.
The big event in Korea was going to a baseball game at the Olympic stadium after work last Tuesday. So much fun!
While Daddy was gone working hard, Rubix was busy playing and growing. Here is a cute video of Rubix shooting the basketball that we sent to Daddy to cheer him up.
Rubix has really changed in the past month. He is much more expressive and starting to test his boundaries with some defiant moments. He is still overall very sweet, but it is a little humbling to see him show such strong protests, when he has been such an "easy" kid the first 3 years of his life.
Phoenix continues to be my energetic wild child. She has such wonderful moments of being sweet and thoughtful and caring. Here is one of those moments when she gave Rubix her snack at school after Rubix and I came for me to do the 25 minutes of "parent read".
Axel has been extremely helpful and much more mature. I am so proud of the person he is becoming. He still has his moments of outbursts, but for the most part, he is learning to process his emotions and articulate his thoughts and feelings. He has really embraced being the oldest child and is especially sweet to Rubix.
The kids have been playing at our neighbor's Saif's house and with his large quantity of Nerf guns. Here is Rubix enjoying some fun park play with one of Saif's nerf guns.
On Friday, Rubix and I went to enjoy the Kindergarten "Hat Parade", Easter egg hunt and party at Harker. I thought it was funny that Phoenix and her best friend Kyla, not only picked a similar dress, but also decorated their hats very much alike with flowers and butterflies.
They are both so cute. Here is our little miss Phoenix.
Here is cute little Kyla.
Phoenix shared her school egg hunt with Rubix. She allowed him to help her pick up the dozen eggs she was allowed to get.
Full of energy, love and ....fire!
Rubix was delightful and fits right in with the rest of the Kindergarteners.
Those cute girls again!

So much fun!
Happy Easter! We are feeling so blessed that He has Risen!
