Fun in Midland

 We went to Midland at the end of break.

It was our baby cousin's first birthday!

It was great to see family, but even better to see the kids with their baby cousin.

Matthew, particularly.

He just adores her.

He wanted to read to her, push her in her new car, and cuddle.

He was running around like a crazy man, but as soon as he got near her she became very gentle and sweet.

The kids are already looking forward to their next visit with her in May.

Early March (What winter?)

 I can't remember another winter like this.

We have had plenty of warm ones, but this one was weird.

No jackets.

Only hoodies.

The photo above was with Meagan's friend Alexa at dinner one night.

New friend, but quickly becoming one of my favorites.

 Andy has been hard at work on his garden.  

It looks great!  

He added lots of cacti and annuals.  

Meagan went to a cool succulent store with him on the east side downtown.

My students and I made poems out of book spines.

This was mine.

The librarian and I had fun with the kids.
