March Madness in May

March Madness sounds about right for this family considering it is now May.  I am determined to get this blog caught up on the all the kids' events because come June a whole new adventure to Lima, Peru will begin...

March 19, 2013

Graham's 3rd grade class had a small music presentation, where they sang, played instruments and even taught the parents how to play an instrument.  The music program at SAS is stellar and am so happy to all that they have been exposed.

On Sunday my 8 yr old turned into a 9 yr old.  I cannot believe that I have had the honor of being Graham's mommy for 9 years.  He really is a good kid...for the most part.  I see flashes of tweendom but overall he is a kind hearted, sensitive, sweet boy.  Brian flew in just in time from Peru to celebrate his birthday.  Our family was complete for the week. 





 We spent the morning at the Singapore Zoo.  We wanted to get in one last visit before we move.  Other zoos have a lot to live up to in comparison to this one.  The zoo just opened a Panda Bear exhibit so we headed there first to get a glance at the newest zoo additions.




You can see the panda bear in the background if you look closely.

 The last part of the zoo trip, we headed to the splash park to cool off.  This is one of their favorite parts of the zoo.

The Wedding

Wedding Day~ February 23, 2013

My brother, Jr AKA Roger to the rest of the world recently wed his beautiful bride, Kelly in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.  I am so glad I was able to witness their marriage and spend the weekend getting to know Kelly and her family.  The only thing missing was my family.  I had to venture off to Playa Del Carmen sans kids and husband.  The journey from Singapore was long but definitely worth it!  I am pretty sure I spent more time in the air than on the ground.
Lovely way to be greeted in the hotel room.

Best part of an all inclusive resort...drinks 24/7.

 The wedding itself was a short ceremony attended by 60 plus family members and friends.  This was my first destination wedding but I am pretty certain that is quite a lot of people to go to a destination wedding.
