Spring Break is over already? What?!?!?

 So, this spring break was, well, interesting.  All of us ended up with stomach flu to some extent, with Andy and I as miserable as humans could possible be.  It was awful.  Matthew and Natalie got over it very quickly, and Meagan just had a funky stomach.  I am praying she just wasn't late in getting it, as Andy was struck by the plague the flu just this past Friday night.  Joy.  We did do some fun things in between various people vomiting, though! We went to the Austin Rodeo, which is always so much fun.  Brian and Jan went with us.  I need to download some photos I took of the girls in these huge blow up balls suck in a pool.  They were virtual hamsters on a wheel; Uncle Brian sprung for this.  He is the cool uncle.  We did several park visits, saw Aunt Jean and Uncle Steve, and saw my cousin Ben.  Seeing Ben was particularly cool considering the last time I saw him was 6 years ago.  He was here for SXSW and we met him at Whole Foods.  Definitely a place during SXSW I intend on going to again with the kids.  We could enjoy the music, and the weather was gorgeous.  They have a playground that kept Natalie and Matthew happy- or at least it did before Natalie was too struck with

the lovely fun that the rest of us endured.  All in all, it wasn't the best break, but it was not terrible either.  It gave us a taste of the relaxed mode of summer....

Pug Love and sugar heaven!

Matthew had never seen such a thing!   You have never seen such a thrilled child.
