Well, I have gotten behind - life has a way of just flying by, doesn't it? We are so blessed and life is sweet and good. The last few months have sailed by and I sometimes wish for a pause button, just so I can savor every moment with my children in each sweet phase - they are changing so fast!
This was our family picture from late January - right around Holton's first birthday. It looks a little JCPenney because it is :-) but I love it anyway!
The H man loves playing in the pool of plastic balls!
Holton turned one year old on January 26 - hard to believe our baby stage is coming to a close. He still falls asleep with me at bedtime sometimes, and I just cherish those moments of being able to hold him close when he is so sleepy and content (and not squirming!)...
We had a fun birthday lunch with family and close friends for his big day!
The highlight, which was not caught on film, was when he put out his birthday candle with two of his fingers - ouch! It didn't really seem to phase him, although everyone who saw it had a moment of terror! Stupid Mommy for putting a lit candle in front of him!
Skip to March ... in Texas, spring came early, and along with it came beautiful bluebonnets! We found this patch of flowers near our house and couldn't resist some pictures one Sunday morning...
Yes, that is a black eye under Holton's right eye... an accident at music school... oh well, I'm sure it won't be the last!
One of our favorite spring activities is to visit the Dallas Arboretum during Dallas Blooms...
How can you resist this face???
My baby girl is looking far less "baby" and far more little girl! She is growing up so fast! She would have you think that she is a "grown-up", and she wants to do everything I do and then some.
Brian and I got all dressed up for an 80's party celebrating the 40th birthday of a friend. We managed to capture all the bad styles from that decade in one night!
Yes, his hair is really shaved to a mohawk and dyed red!
We also had a wonderful weekend trip to Austin to visit family and friends. We got to ride on the train at Zilker Park, and this was a big highlight of the trip for the kids (even though it was 90 degrees!).
Sorry for the lack of posts lately - I will try to stay on top of the blog this spring!
Love you all!
