This month seemed to fly by!  Since our spring activities are over we've enjoyed a few play dates with friends.  We have had TONS and TONS of rain, so not much playing outside or good light for pictures.  We did enjoy a picnic with Grammy on a rare sunny day.

The girls had fun playing the piano too.  Love that they love music.  We plan to start piano lessons with Hannah next summer.

Nathan took this last week off work and we had lots of great family time.  We even managed to squeeze in two outdoor activities between rain storms.  We enjoyed another visit to the Dallas Zoo.  And we drove down to Baylor to show the girls around campus.  They seemed to enjoy walking around, but we were all sad that the bears were hiding.

Think that's about it for this month.  Stay tuned for a post featuring our "not furry" friend. =)

Before I forget, in my last post I promised more (and better) pictures from our Arboretum visit.  Here you go!

At the beginning of the month we took advantage of no rain and Nathan having the morning off BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) and headed to the zoo.  We LOVE our membership and recently renewed it again for another year.  There is currently a dinosaur exhibit visiting.  The girls were a little unsure about the anamatronic dinosaurs, but enjoyed the puppet show.  We also saw the bird show, but I didn't get any pictures.

It was POURING rain Easter morning and we had to be at church super early so no pictures.  The girls dresses from last year still fit so they got to wear them again.  =)  Our sweet neighbor came over that afternoon once the rain stopped and hid eggs in our yard.  The girls had so much fun finding them.

While we've had some beautiful sunny weather, we have had LOTS of rain this month.  More than the last few years.  We desperately need it, but we miss playing outside and being able to take pictures.  This Grammy day the rain held off until evening so we walked up to the college (about a mile walk from my parent's house).  We got to see ducks, geese, and turtles...always a favorite.  And there were some really pretty wild flowers blooming.

Spring in Texas means pictures in the bluebonnets.  Nathan DOES NOT understand this tradition, but he graciously goes along with it because he loves me.  =)  It was super windy and there were several other people waiting their turn.  Thankfully they girls were pretty cooperative and I'm pleased with what we got.  Here's a few of my favorites!

March 2015

We started off the month with more winter weather.  Nothing most of the winter and then 3 big storms in 3 weeks.  CRAZY!  We got quite a bit of snow, enough to completely cover the grass.  By lunchtime the sun had melted the snow enough for it to stick together.  So we took the girls out to build a snowman.  They actually had lots of fun running around in the snow and making tiny snowman.  Nathan and I did all the work on Sally (as Hannah named her).  I didn't realize until after we were back inside that one of Sally's eye fell off...ooops.

The arrows are pointing to the tiny snowman. =)

We took a weekend trip up to Arkansas during spring break to visit Nathan's family.  We had a really good visit with family and friends.  The girls ran Paw Paw all over his apartment.  =) Thankfully the girls are really good in the car.  We do have issues with sleeping though since they have to share a room.  They like to stay up really late (like 9:00) and talk instead of actually going to bed at night.  And they always wake each other up early in the morning too.  Silly girls!!!

After all our crazy winter weather and lots of cloudy rainy days, it finally feels like spring.  So thankful to see the sun!! We've enjoying spending time outside.  My mom and I took the girls out to the Arboretum last Friday. So fun!

They loved the pinwheels Grammy brought.

Hannah is now officially registered for Kindergarten.  Where did the time go?!?  She can't be that old right, she was just born yesterday.  I'm excited for Hannah, she's going to have lots of fun.  We live about a block and a half away from our school so most of the time we will walk.
