Bluebonnets!!!

Well, after a very wet winter, the bluebonnets are out in full bloom! We enjoyed them at Nonn and Poppa's house this past weekend. Easter just has an extra special feel when you're surrounded by so many beautiful works of art!

Big Girl Bed!!

We transitioned Kara into her big girl bed this week!! She did remarkably well and is so excited about being able to get up and out of her bed on her own! We are excited too so that we dont have to hear, "Mommy, I'm up, come get me!" blaring from across the hall early in the mornings! We are using my old bed from when I was a kid, so that makes it extra special!

Home from a great trip!!!

We arrived home last night after a fun week in Virginia visiting Jason, Michelle and baby Kerrick. It was so wonderful to see them and have our girls interact with baby K! We went to the Aquarium, saw Virginia Beach, painted pottery and got to re-visit Williamsburg - and our favorite place, the Yankee Candle Co. Brad and J got to go fishing several times and B caught a huge striper! The girls were thrilled to get to fly on an airplane and did remarkably well. They are such awesome little people and I'm so proud of them!! I loved getting in some snuggles with the little guy - and it was so hard to put him down. They are only that small for a blink of an eye. We were sad to leave, but know that J & M & baby K are doing great and the Lord is watching over them!! Here are a few pics:

Happy Birthday, Kris!!
