Butterfly Festival!
They don’t bite, sweetie. :)
We got to release two.
Fluttering freely inside the house.
Of course, a butterfly balloon.
And then he refused to take off the wings!
Hoodie hair, don’t care.
A local children’s learning center was having an open house. Yes, that is a bowling alley inside!
He enjoyed the magic show.
And “cooked” (frosted cookies) with the culinary instructor/chef.
Stopped by the Lego table until they closed their doors.
Went straight to a Princess Leia Lego build.
Followed by more free play construction at the library.
Can’t pass up Metroplex’s free carnival and open gym.
Made a new friend who speaks amazing Mandarin!
Mommy hopes they are conversing in Chinese. :)
Fairview PoPo came out to the WF tractor to police naughty kids. Haha.
ANOTHER new tea shoppe… and playing his own version of Battleship.
Forsaking not tradition! See ’13, ’14, ’15 and ’16.
Happy Memorial Day! Remembering those who have fought and continue to fight for our freedoms… and for the One that has truly set us free.
Are we really into another month?
He lives big alright!
Fair Park for Earth Day TX!
Hours at the “A, Bee Seas” Lego Build.
Daddy had to make one, too.
As part of the festivities, it was free entrance that weekend to the Texas Discovery Gardens.
Chalking a VW at Plano Art Fest.
Trying yet another one of the new tea places that are opening everywhere!
Does this count as parkour? We hadn’t been here in just a few short months and he can already reach the top.
Dallas Get Kidz Fit Festival. Great initiative from the mayor to get kids moving!
Thank you and farewell dinner for Uncle Dan before he joins family in TW for awhile… Skewers and Asian street food.
Who knows what this is?
Rolled into this…
Ice cream! Our first time checking out what all the hype is about. Plus, a huge bowl of taro snow…
He is a blur when it comes to i.c. consumption… Percentage eaten by E > y + g + d combined. :)
Got knighted (not beheaded).
Very shyly met a princess.
Royal tea: dragon’s scale (Dorito), dragon’s claw (Bugle), dragon’s egg (malt ball) and mote water.
Auntie Angeline shared some homemade Singaporean delights with us and Y was beside himself. :)
A picture of the school picture. :) Not a huge enough fan of these posed sorts to purchase…
Sole bluebonnet photo this year, minus people.
Spring storms!
Lightning right above our house…
Off to SF next week! Y had to renew his S’pore passport and they now require you to show up in person at one of their consulates. We decide to make it a b-day (Daddy) and Mother’s Day trip. :)
A new park with a zip line!
Trucking through mulch.
The Menchie’s Man came out for their grand opening.
Always can’t pass up free froyo…
He’s not Batman but… at least a superhero?
Another grand opening at Springfree Trampolines.
Met this nice guy named Joe and didn’t find out ’til later he plays for the Dallas Cowboys!
Took Daddy to the Videogame Museum on their anniversary complimentary entry weekend… He couldn’t make it last year.
E’s sure missed Duck Hunt.
Couldn’t wait for it to rain to try these Batman boots! :P
Watching Daddy play on a cool, calm spring evening…
Chinky classmates at Chinese school…
New coffee shop in Frisco with games and Lego aplenty. They also make matcha lattes… but sadly, underwhelmed. :(
Hey, Mr. Bunny!
He likes the egg opening more than the hunt. :p
TRU had an interesting scavenger type one through their store… E finished first! The prizes were actually pretty good.
And then he got an ear infection right on Holy Week and Easter weekend. :( It was his first ever actually and shortly after getting some water in his ears from swim lessons and just horrific allergies. Besides a lot of (seemingly earth-shattering) things going on at the same time, we stopped and just reflected on the Lamb, putting it all in perspective.
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” -1 Peter 1:3
We reside and rest in that Living Hope!
