Princess & the Pea

Nana Rose came to Modesto to spend the weekend with the family. We enjoyed having her all to ourselves. Jim and I had a great date night at Surlas on Saturday night while Iain and Nana had dinner at home, watched Ice Age and played with all the cool goodies Nana brought in her bottomless bag of tricks!














On Saturday we took Nana to the Gallo Center for the Arts to see the stage production of The Princess and the Pea. Iain asked the "Prince" after the show if there were dragons in his castle and the "Prince" told him there were but they kept them in the dungeon! Iain was very intrigued. It was a wonderful weekend! Thank you Nana! Happy 70th Birthday! Come visit again soon!

Muckdog Dugout

Iain may not LOVE baseball, but he certainly has fun with his new friends in the dugout! He also loves getting a cold lemonade after EVERY game! He was name MVP and received the GAME BALL at the May 7th game against the Grasshoppers for being an outstanding player! Way to go Iain! We are so proud of you!

Iain earned the GAME BALL after proving he could be a team player! Way to go Iain!

Mother's Day Tea

Parkwood Christian Preschool hosted their annual Mother's Day Tea Party and it was super sweet. Iain was so happy that I snuck away from school to be there. He served me my lunch and beverage and made me a cute hand print and he was so proud to have me there! He is the best Mother's Day gift a girl can ask for.










The children sang songs for all the moms before the tea party began. Iain is a very enthusiastic singer and dancer.

Baseball Season

Iain is playing T-ball for the Muckdogs and Jim is the coach of the 4/5 team. They are having fun but Iain loves soccer and prefers it over baseball. He reminds us of it every baseball practice and game. Baseball isn't as fun he says and he likes running and scoring goals. There's too much standing around and waiting according to Iain.

Celebrating Nana Rose's 70th

Happy Birthday Nana Rose! We had a great time with the family as each of Rose's children expressed their love and gratitude for her! She is a much loved mother and nana! We are all so lucky she is a part of our lives!























We love you Nana! Love Iain & Megan

Easter 2010

Spring break offered a much needed hiatus from the busy life of school teachers. We enjoyed coloring eggs with Angela, Noah and Cooper the night before Easter and spending time with the Pfaff Family Easter morning. It was a beautiful day!

Winter Wonderland

Iain is becoming an avid skiier and mom and da got lots of snowboarding in this past winter. The snow was amazing everytime. Jim is learning to hold his own on the mountain as he races down on his snowboard. We had a lot of fun and can't wait til next season to do it again.

Iain built an awesome snowman with his daddy! He's so proud!

Life as we know it...

It's the first day of April and I'm finally creating this family blog. I've been buried in yearbook world for the last six months and it has consumed my life. This is the first weekend in a long time that I've had the opportunity to sleep in and take my morning more leisurely. I still have grading to do, progress reports to prepare and proofs to correct but at least I'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

This blog will hopefully help us stay connected to friends and family with photos of Iain as he grows, as well as provide updates on our family status. We are counting down the days til summer. We miss and love you all! Keep in touch!
