Final Things...

I can't believe I don't have pictures, but last Thursday night the Waltons hosted a little surprise party in our honor. We headed over for dinner with them and found the Williams, Joneses, and Smiths waiting for us! It was a really sweet time with special friends. On Friday we picked the kids up from being with grandparents all week. On Saturday we went for a final visit to the Coopers' house. Morgan & Emma got to play with Bennett & Kate, their good friends from AWANA last year. Bennett and Morgan always put on a show for the adults whenever they get together. On Sunday we had our last fellowship meal at Providence. It was picnic on the church grounds, complete with face painting for the kids. So much fun!

Moving Along

Things are moving right along...how's that for a pun? As of yesterday, we leave Midland in 3 weeks. That's a reality that just won't sink in right now. This week the kids are with their grandparents so we are getting some major packing done.

We had a HUGE garage sale on Easter weekend.

Emma's room is about 90% done. As you can see, the beds are sold.

All picture frames and decorations are now packed.  It's weird to see it like this.

Morgan's room is also about 90% done.

We've been going through so. much. stuff.

Easter 2013

On the Market

We've lived in this house for over 6 years, and we love it! It goes on the market tomorrow. This is an exciting and yet sad time for us. How can we say goodbye?

Spring Break 2013

Last week we did our annual spring break whirlwind. Matt went to SXSW while I took the kids to Abilene. Candace and her kids were also visiting so all the cousins had the best time together. On Tuesday, we tried to get into Enchanted Rock but it was no-go. We ended up spending a few hours in Fredericksburg before I headed for Liberty Hill. Morgan & Emma spent lots of time in the woods there. Jan was fresh off a pretty major surgery so she was not able to join us for our meet-up with MawMaw in New Braunfels. We went to McAdoo's which was a huge treat!

 The kids had the best time with their cousin Madison.

 West End Pizza in Fredericksburg

 We went with the family to McAdoo's in New Braunfels. The food was amazing, and as you can see the creme brulee was spectacular. The kids were hovering about the whole time.

 Baby birds!

 Thanks for lunch, Jimmy & Aggie!
