Fun trip, new camera, great smiles?
I love when bluebonnets bloom. They and the Indian Paintbrush make the long drive to San Antonio just a bit more bearable. I really love getting my cute kids in the middle of the bluebonnets and taking pictures.
The kids don't share my love. This year, like all years past, I have more less-than-wonderful pictures. The good news: they still make me smile!
On a side note, I got a new camera! Yeah! It has a touch screen so I feel really cool when I take pictures, which is important. You know how when you get something new, you are anxious to take a ton of pictures. And you know how when your kids hit a certain age, they stop smiling like normal human beings. We hit that age just in time for my new camera. A few other highlights from San Antonio:
Window shopping in Fredrickburg after a delicious meal at Rather Sweet Bakery*Have to try it!

Quick thoughts
So I'm finally up with the times and have my own blog. You'd think if someone was a "webmaster" that they might be current with a full family history...
Now I'm frantically searching my mind for all those clever things my kids did and all those life changing thoughts that would really help all who read my little blog. Nothing.
Just two quick stories about both kids. Maybe then I can feel at ease knowing that my children's lives are adequately documented.
Jake has always been interested in numbers. He loves to ask random people (fellow shoppers at Wal-Mart, those who happen to stop next to us at a red light, etc) what their address is. Finally Jake discovered his life calling when we went through the Wal-Greens drive thru to pick up a prescription. Jake decided he would like to be the teller asking people for their address to verify their getting the correct prescription. We are in the process of getting him a store job application right now.
Afton has profound moments when I realize just how fast she is growing up. This week she saw a little girl walking with just her mom. She pointed at the little girl and said "Ohhh, that little girl doesn't have a brother." Let's just hope she always appreciates that she has a big brother!

I'm jealous for 2 reasons...1-I was just thinking the other day how much I miss the wildflowers in the hill country and Austin area. 2- I love Fredricksburg, especially all the peaches in Jul-Aug
Glad you had fun.
