Turner Falls Trip

Our spring break was supposed to include a trip to San Antonio, visit with family and friends, possibly a trip down to Corpus Christi. Turns out none of it happened. Afton woke up feeling miserable the day we were supposed to leave...and she was still feeling terrible up until Friday morning. So we packed all kinds of fun into our short road trip out of the state of Texas to Turner Falls, OK.

Afton always asks us when we are in the car for more than 10 minutes if we are out of Texas yet...despite many attempts at explaining how big Texas is, we finally decided to show her. The kids loved being loud in the caves, exploring the castle ruins, and barely survived the short hikes.



Happy St. Patricks Day!

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!
