Spring Break at a Glance...

Our Spring Break Adventure. It started with...

A chilly track meet...

College Station stop to see DaddyBob and Bill
 Hugging Will's neck as he took off for Haiti...
 A stop at Gorman Falls. It is a scenic place on the Colorado River close to Bend, Texas. Many fond childhood memories from this lovely place.




Next stop was at the Ranch outside of Brownwood. Lots of time to sit and walk in this quiet and peaceful setting. Thinking and refreshing our bodies and minds.


The memories of younger boys and their hands are sweet.
The view from Jan and Michael's back porch. Breathtaking.
Thanks you two wonderful people for fixing us so many meals for the time we had together.
Next stop was at a lake retreat close to Austin. Lots of good time to sit and visit.
Brad and Debra...thank you SO much for the invite!
This kitchen and dining room were so lovely and calm. The light fixture was especially gorgeous.
Good food and fellowship
Snuggling and playing with Lucy the wonderdog
Isn't it beautiful?! Thank you to Dick and Tammy for letting us enjoy this tranquil place!
We watched crazy boys do crazy things
We visited with people that we love...
And more people that we love...
And more people that we love...aren't they cute?
We also watched an interesting game of football with Colt throwing from the top of the pool house to the guys on the jet ski below. Very entertaining.


Wes enjoyed fishing...
I enjoyed this...
Ky and Ben enjoyed this... We all enjoyed family time. I love these two too...
Thankful for the refreshing time spent with family,
and for God bringing Will home safety. Oh...and for Spring. It is quite lovely.
Blessings...Amy

What a cool trip and set of pictures!

Our spring break (this week) is the opposite - all three of our kids went to see grandparents for a week, and Cheryl and I are enjoying a quiet week at home. And our 29th anniversary!

Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates. Our kids sure do. It is hard when we compare what we have to other people's "things" or decorations. We are all so richly blessed. I say, just don't do it. I...
