Happy Birthday Jim!

Happy Birthday Jim! -31-Fun Celebrating:

We weren't able to go on his actual Birthday to Disneyland because Jim and I were in an Easter concert together at Segerstrom Hall in Orange County. There was a dress rehearsal on the night of his birthday and then the night after we went out with his parents to the Chart House-yum! Then the following day was 4 hours of rehearsal then a 3 hour concert.
Check out the coverage of the concert and click on (MORE PHOTOS) in this Orange County Register article>>>>http://www.ocregister.com/articles/weneta-orchestra-kosmala-2343991-concert-(you can see both Jim and I in the background on some of these photos.) It was a beautiful concert, and Jim and I had fun playing together in orchestra again.

Family Favorite place to go. (DT Disney is all.) She has a blast with nothing more than a red Mickey Mouse Lollipop.

Thanks to Jim's parents, they gave Jim 2fers for his birthday. As a whole family, we celebrated Jim's B-day again at California Adventure. So much fun. Too bad I was miserably sick. I would have enjoyed a whole lot more.

Silly faces Lauren LOVED the bumper cars

A little Celebrating:
A little treat- Lauren now loves to get 3 straws together and invites us to share her drink.
One day I found her not eating her eggs and she said her dinosaurs were taking a bath.
While our niece Amy was down we went out together to a distant cousin, Sheila's B-day party in Hollywood. Lauren had so much fun. To our surprise we learned that up the hill nearby the park we could see the original bat cave from the original BATMAN series. Lauren had just gotten some excellent party favors that she put to use right away for our exploring adventure. It was a beautiful and fun day, and getting to see this, topped it all off!

February Fun!

For Valentine's Day:

Early in the day for Valentine's Day Lauren decorated cupcakes and gave them to some of her friends.

Thanks to my Mom, she watched Lauren while our friends, Mike and Eva took us out to the Tana Ethiopian Restaurant in Buena Park. SOOO good! Check it out!

All of Us:

Eva and Mike... The Yummy Food...

Happy Valentine's Day!

Yay, Jim got a job!

After a long 7 months, Jim finally was able to get a job with Accountable Health Care located 6 miles from our place. After Jim's graduation in May he'll be full time with good benefits. We're relieved and very grateful for all those that have helped us keep our chin up during this rough time. Yay!
