Although this was not Faith's first visit to a zoo, it was her first
American zoo (in Santa Barbara). We had a great time seeing all of the
animals. The kids even had an opportunity to feed the giraffes!!

The weather warmed
up over Memorial Day weekend and we took advantage of it by going in our
pool! This was Faith's first time ever swimming. She enjoyed it
very much and did not cry even when briefly underwater.

On the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, Noah went to the local cemetery and
put American Flags on the gravesites of Veterans. He said he was glad
to be a Cub Scout because he got to do a very important thing and honor our
Veterans. God bless all our veterans and current servicemen.

Samantha
had her first band recital. She was awesome! We are so proud of
how much she has improved playing the flute.

We celebrated Mother's Day
today. The kids treated Mom like a Queen, showering her with love and
affection. After our lunch, we went to Santa Barbara and enjoyed the
rest of the day.

Faith had her first
trip to the beach today. She was not particularly fond of the feeling
of sand between her toes. She did, however, love watching her brother
and sister play in the sand and water.
Sam showed Faith the
ocean as the waves crashed.
It is amazing to see
how grown up Samantha has become. She is turning into a young woman
right before our eyes.
Noah, not
surprisingly, loved getting
dirty and sandy at
the beach.
Some
special time with Daddy.

kisses!!"
