Beautiful Day

Today made me feel so happy, the sun was shinning all day. Bat called off from work and we went to a BBQ for the Elders Quorum at the Daines' lake house. Oh my gosh what an amazing place to spend the afternoon, Thea played in the water making mud pies and sand castles while Bat attempted his first ever game of volleyball while I caught up on visiting with friends from the ward. I dont want to imagine the kind of life I would have without the church, not only does it provide my spiritual well being but also an excellent social outlet. hehe
I will post some pictures from the weekend at the first of the week. To any fathers that may be reading this Happy Fathers day!

Almost...

Bat will be home on Tuesday, I am so excited to have him back and to have full discusions with him about everything thats going on in the Philippines and with Nathalia and what the future holds for our little family. While I will be so happy and grateful to have him home I admit that I have sort of settled into a routine without him. oh Im so excited...almost.

am I doing this right?

Bare with me while I figure this whole bloging thing. I am excited to get started but a little technically challenged so things may not look that great but I will do my best. Plus right now its 4am I cant sleep but anybody with little children knows I should be so I cannot be held responsible for any errors.

Our Family -1

I love these new family photos, we just went out in the back yard and my mom took a few shots. I say -1 because we are missing Bats daughter Nathalia who is still in the Philippines. We look forward to having her come to live with us one day. Bat is in PI now and is opening communication with the Philippine consulate to get that process started. Last year we had her last name officially changed to Ballao so that really was the first step to the process.

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
