Last weekend, Gianni was able to participate in the Pinewood Derby Car Competition. He was a finalist and so this event was round two. He did not place but said to me, "mom, I'm glad I just got to do it!" I was so proud of him when he said that to me.
After the Derby, we got in the car and headed for California. Abel's family had a party for his mom and for his sister who is about to have a baby any day now. The mariachi band showed up and sang for Abel's mom. Throw in a pinata and food, and it was an official party!
This weekend Carmen had her dance recital. Her song was "L-O-V-E". She continues to love the stage and going to dance class. The outfits, hair, and make up make the event even more special. It always ends with flowers that she keeps in her room until they are completely dead.

Holly and I were matching in black shirts and jeans for our Spring Supper Club.
The theme was Soul Food!
Neeley's Peach Iced Tea
Fried Macaroni and Cheese Balls
Okra Fritters w/ Cilantro Yogurt Sauce
Chicken and Waffle Monte Cristo w/ Rosemary Maple Gravy
Boozy Braised Collard Greens
Dessert was a Sweet Potato Pie, but apparently I forgot to take a picture. Whoops!
The kids were with Nonna and Papa and it was nice to enjoy time with Abel and my friends. Abel took the day off on Friday and I came home to find out that he was super productive! He cleaned the entire house, did all the laundry, and cleaned the car. He even picked weeds in the front yard. He knew our weekend was going to be crazy so he took care of it to relieve my stress. I am a lucky girl to have him as my partner!
