Happy 5 years and 18 months!

April was a fun month for the Bell family:

"Chopsticks" anyone?

April 9th was Amber's "18 month-birthday". She is now officially in nursery and loving it. She also loves going for walks (mostly she just takes off on her own whenever we're outside), enjoys Story Time at our local library and has added a Spanish word to her vocabulary : Gracias =) (although it sounds more like "Grashiash" because she usually says the word with her binky in her mouth).



April 12th was our 5th wedding anniversary. 5 years, where has the time gone? I still remember the spring of 2002, when I developed a little crush on Andrew, and I thought (as usual) nothing would ever come of it. Unbeknownst to me, he kind of liked me and wanted to ask me out, but he seemed to get distracted a few times along the way...

Anyway, last month, Andrew's mom came up from Rupert (ID) and stayed with Amber so Andrew and I could get away. We drove all the way to...Eagle, Idaho (all of 8.32 miles, according to Mapquest), enjoyed a couple of days at the Hilton hotel there and a wonderful meal at our favorite sushi/hibachi restaurant.

I know I haven't blogged in almost a month, so you'll probably see more posts in the coming days...

I cannot believe it has been 5 years since you two were married. Time goes by WAY too quickly and I feel a little behind-the-eight-ball with this whole marriage and kids thing! :)
Amber is so adorable, and looks like she's quite at her element at the keyboard! A budding concert pianist? I'd say so!
Happy Mother's Day to you!
