JT, the Preschooler

My baby boy is growing up too fast! He's turning into such a little boy vs. a toddler with his vocabulary taking off, growing in height, trying to keep up with Sissy and blazing his own trail. JT has such a personality on him -- never met a stranger and never met anyone he couldn't get to laugh, or at least smile. :)

Speaking of fast, here's a picture of him running "fast" Friday.

Preschool Art Show

Quite the pose for Mom
Hamming it up!

His "Pumpkin" class made snowflakes. JT is not cooperating --more interested in his friend Austy and his Daddy in the hallway.

JT is showing us his "Vroom, Vroom" picture.

Another One Bites the Dust

Another tooth gone...Sissy lost another tooth yesterday. It's been hanging on by a thread for awhile now. If Papa was here, it would have been "outta there" a long time ago.

Sissy now looks more like I did in 1st grade; I remember missing my 2 front, top teeth in my school picture.

This is the day the Lord has made...

"To find Joy in this day, you must live within its boundaries. I knew what I was doing when I divided time into twenty-four-hour segments. I understand human frailty, and I know that you can bear the weight of only one day at a time. Do not worry about tomorrow or get stuck in the past. There is abundant Life in My Presence today."

(Jesus Calling, Sarah Young)

Busy Weekend

It's been awhile since I've had a chance to post...it's just been busy and continues to be. Last weekend, we were busy with multiple activities; it was lots of fun. I'll let the pictures do most the talking...

Texas Rangers Game on Friday

at Dr. Pepper Field (Rough Riders Stadium)

We sat with a large group from our church. We convoyed and sat with friends-- 8 children, 6 adults.

Free hats -- as modeled here.
Warming Up...Close Enough?

Saturday Morning, my ladies bible study group hosted a baby shower for dear friend Rachel.

Baby will be here next month. Can't wait to see her.

Saturday afternoon, we went to our church's Easter "Eggstravaganza".

Pony Rides

Sissy saw Jaidyn, her best friend from school.

And, JT found Cohen, one of his friends from church.

Bounce Houses

"Hunting" Candy-filled Eggs

On Sunday, Daddy went to the Nascar race at Texas Motor Speedway -- no pic's though.

By Sunday afternoon, we were all tuckered out.

Prayer Request for My Mom

To Friends and Family, please pray for my Mom. On early Monday morning, she's having hip replacement surgery. Pray for the surgery to go well and then the recovery following it.

Thank You for your prayers!
