Spring Break in Galveston & Trinity

In mid March we went to visit The Memaws & Pawpaw and also took another trip down to Galveston! WooHoo we had a great time. Here is a slide show of us in Galveston....yes I love to take pictures...lots of pictures...especially nature pictures!

When we got back from Galveston we spent several days there in Trinity and had lot of fun helping Memaw plant her garden, having an Easter Egg hunt and visiting with Memaw Fagan! Memaw even opened up her barber shop and gave the boys a much needed haircut. It's a good thing because people were starting to refer to Joshey as "she."

Snow in March!

I am like a month behind on my blogging so I am going to try to get caught up. On March 7th we actually had some snow!! The kids were so excited. This was the first time James and Josh had ever seen real snow and Callie did not remember playing in it about 6 years ago when she was about 1.

I can't believe it actually stuck to the ground. The flakes were just beautiful....but it only lasted for a few hours and then melted away.

Growing up in Arkansas it seems like we got at least one good snow of several inches every year...sigh...I miss that. I have so many good memories playing out in the snow building snowmen, snow angels, making snow ice cream, looking at individual snowflakes on black vinal records.

After a little while of being out in the snow they were all screaming about how cold they were and wanted to come inside. They wanted to decortate a little branch with Easter decorations that Oma had given them. I think she gave me a little tree to put them on but it is somewhere in Our Little Family Vortex (kind of like the Burmuda Triangle of all our lost things)! So we just used a tree branch. Josh even got in on all the festivities and as Callie put it: "helped to UNdecorate the tree.
