The last group of Sea World, really!

The photo of Matthew with Elmo, that is truly Matthew's dream come true.  You have never seen such a happy person.

Sea World, part two

Sea World, part one

We had an awesome time in San Antonio today.  Hopefully I will write a longer entry later, but wanted to get some photos up now.   

 

 

 

 

 

The making of a Grasshopper

Natalie has an assignment due next Friday (yes, I am the dorky mom doing this a week ahead of time) to make a grasshopper.  Each student has a bug to make and research and somehow we got the grasshopper.  It was a team effort, but he is awesome!  The first few are action shots of his creation, and the ones after that are us showing him off.
He is mighty cute, if I say so myself.  And accurate too!!!

A beautiful Spring day for Baseball!

Papa Joe, Meagan, and Natalie played with the T-ball set for the first time today. They both liked it a lot!  It is interesting watching them bat.  Meagan is a lefty and Natalie is right-handed.  I think Natalie was sort of afraid that she might injure the ball by hitting it.

 The weather had been predicted to be sort of cold, but it was perfect, the type of weather that makes me love Austin so much.  As you can see, Barni and Peanut also had a nice time outside.  Andy and I worked a lot on getting the house ready for our hardwood floors that are being installed tomorrow, but we are not quite there  yet.  We are excited to have them in, though!!!

Spring Break!!! Freedom!!!

Natalie and Matthew were giving Peanut some love this afternoon. Luckily, Matthew is now treating the dogs with more respect and they no longer run away from him in fear.
It is hard to believe that we are in Spring Break already! We went to a fun party at the Big Bounce for Natalie's friend Stacy this morning and now we are doing fun things around the house (if folding laundry counts as fun?!?) We don't have too much planned for the break, but we are having a few playdates and mommy even gets a playdate with Summer. That always makes me happy. Other than that, we are just going to enjoy not having to be anywhere at any certain time. Sometimes that is the best, just hanging out and playing, especially now that Matthew can do more with the girls.
Happy Spring to everyone!
On a side note, Andy and I purchased plane tickets to go to Kansas City on May 4th. To say that I am excited is a big understatement. I am sooooo happy about it. We haven't been to Lawrence in quite a long time and I have a whole list of places that I want to go- Free State, walking through campus, exploring the new look of Mass Street, and eating Yello Sub. :) My extra bonus: our friends April and Jon are there, and since they are pretty much the only people who read my blog, I can tell them here that I CAN'T wait to see them!!!!!
