Let's play catch up!

We've been pretty busy the past couple of weeks, so here are some highlight pictures!

This first one proves that mommy has power tools too!

We got a new double stroller for when Leah Jane gets here and while we were babysitting Clara, we took it for a test drive. I love it, but they love it more! When we got back to the house I unbuckled them and they did NOT want to get out! They only look unhappy in the picture because we had to stop walking to take it.



Here is Eli watching pictures of himself on the laptop. I thought it was cute how contemplative he looks with his hands in his pockets.

Our latest escapade included matching haircuts for Jason and Eli. I think he is even starting to act older now too, and it's only been a day!

Bluebonnets

Last fall we planted bluebonnet seeds we got from Jason's parents. For all the non-natives, bluebonnets are Texas' state flower and have been known to produce beautiful landscapes such as the following:

They do not bloom for long periods of time, but when they do, they are quite extraordinary. People flock to their fields and plop their children, husbands, wives, and pets in them for that one great picture to send to grandma. Someone once told me that you have to be careful of snakes in the bluebonnets, so there will be no plopping for me or our children! (Jason however does not believe the snake story). While our little seedlings will not produce fields full of bluebonnets, I am proud of our current performance. Perhaps we won't make the list of bluebonnet photo destinations, but I think we are well on our way...
