Spring break in the Hill Country

We headed to Llano the last few days of Spring Break for some "down time" for all of us. It was breathtakingly beautiful!!! The bluebonnets were amazing and it was so great to see green and water flowing in the creeks!!! We had a great time playing inside and out. Caleb was able to come up for the last day and relax a little with us!!!

The BIG move

We have been "in" for almost 8 weeks now and boy has it passed FAST!!! We are absolutely LOVING our new home and are making wonderful memories already. The kiddos have really loved having their own space, I was a little concerned since we had been in such close quarters for several months. They were thoroughly excited to get everything out of storage and into their own spaces, it's been great. Only a few boxes remain, those we just don't know what to do with, but for the most part we are completely unpacked. Just a few more finishing touches and pictures to hang and it's done!!! Wahooo!!! Landscaping is next, which should begin this week or next. Pictures of the last weeks/days of construction and the official move in...

Long overdue!!!

I know, this is waaaay past due and yes we have moved and are in our new house, about six weeks ago. I just now feel like I've dug myself back up to the surface and can think clearly....ahhhh. We had one busy February before the move. Lots going on on the weekends and during the week. Here's a recap...



Caleb got tickets to the Rampage game so we all 5 headed to watch the excitement. The kiddos had a blast in the PD suites, complete with snacks and treats. And plenty of "up and down" room to play around!!!
