Anniversary

As I mentioned in my previous post, it's our 13th anniversary today. Not of our wedding, but of the day that we first met. It started out like most days with just me and the kiddos.

Ryenne decided to lay down next to Cruz and luckily the camera was nearby. Because if it hadn't been near, I doubt I would ever catch these again... so rare to have all the kids in the same spot!

And then a little bit of magic happened. Kai saw Ryenne snuggling with Cruz and decided he wanted in on the action too. And here's what happened before my very eyes...

*gasp*... magic right? That moment couldn't ever be recreated in the same way.

Auntie Nikki, Kaeli, and Makena came over and we got to hang out - it was awesome. The girls and Kai all had such a great time while me and Nikki just chatted.

When Peter woke up we headed to North Austin to meet with one of my clients who happens to have a flooring showroom and we looked at tons of flooring for the living room. Really there were SO MANY options that it made it quite a task to decide. Of course we both loved a flooring that was WAAAY out of budget, but we also loved one that did fall into our budget and it's pretty distressed looking and random width and is actually in our budget INCLUDING installation. So I am completely and totally stoked about it.

So after the flooring appointment we decided we'd take the whole family to Korea House for dinner. Korea House is a total hole in the wall type place. You go there for the food not the service. So picture this...

The food comes out, Kai has his hands in the iced tea. Ryenne is reaching for food on the opposite side of the table, Peter and I are shoveling food into our mouths as quickly as we can hoping to eat fast enough before someone has a meltdown.

Cruz starts fussing, Ryenne is cold, and Kai is eating ice. The waiter comes and asks us not to make a mess. Kai drops his cup, ice flings everywhere, and he starts screaming at the top of his lungs. I am flushed red in embarassment as everyone in the restaurant turns to gawk at us.

We pay the check and get out as fast as we possibly can. Good food? Yes! Enjoyable... not-so-much. I think no more going out to eat for us again for quite some time.
