The Symphony!

Last Tuesday, the girls and I got the chance to go see the Dallas Symphony Orchestra perform Peter and the Wolf. We had amazing seats right above the orchestra, and really enjoyed the performance. Lizzy was just starting to get wiggly when it ended so it was perfect. We ate lunch at the Plaza of the Americas and got to go up to the 12th floor in the glass elevator, where the girls laughed at me for being scared of heights. We also took a look inside the 100 year old Catholic church. We enjoyed riding the train there and back. It was such a fun experience for the girls and no sitting in traffic!

Color Guard

Last Saturday, the girls got to go do color guard with their friend from girl scouts for a local political campaign.

Now I know where I want to retire. This place was beautiful! I wonder how old I have to be before I can move in.

God's Army

The theme in the Second Grade Sunday School class at church this month is "I'm in the Lord's Army". Here's one of the new recruits.

Snow Sledding

Snowmygosh!!

We woke up to a winterwonderland this morning. I have to say, a snow day is much better than an ice day. Everything looked so pretty. For ten minutes before the girls trampled it.

Now, that's just wrong.

Old Photos

Instead of clogging my blog up full of old photos, I decided just to load them to Picasa Web. Here's the link. I'll be updating it with more as I have the time.

Old Pictures

Quite some time ago, I posted that I am working on scanning old pictures into the computer. So that's not going so well. But here are a few more I've gotten done. These are coming out of the box of photos that still requires sorting, so they are pretty random.

Visit with Friends

Last weekend, we went to see some friends down in the Austin area. We had lots of fun and enjoyed seeing them all again. It's so nice, that even if they haven't seen each other for a few months, our kids just seem to pick up where they left off. Lizzy spent most of the weekend wrestling, chasing, and trying to kiss her friend who she plans to marry, while Katie and her friend whispered secrets and made lots of plans.
