Rainy Day in Georgia

It's raining today, Colt is sleeping and my Dad took Cruz to Hardie's to drink coffee and socialize with the family so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to update my blog.

We flew to Texas first to visit with Steven's grandparents in Kerrville. The weather was beautiful, everyone was friendly and the food was good! They had just moved here after visiting with us last year so we had never been to this part of the state before. I loved it! The landscape was beautiful, it was like stepping out into an old western movie but with big green trees.

We had a wonderful visit and it was really hard saying goodbye...

After a week in Kerrville Steven flew back to Alaska and my parents picked me and the kids up to take a road trip back to GA. We took I-10 east to Gulf Shores, Alabama and then north to Hiawassee. Colt and Cruz did so well!!! We stopped one night before we got to Alabama and then spent two nights at the beach. The hotel we found had all of their rooms facing the ocean, with a balcony and a private beach. The white sand was so soft and warm and we just sat there soaking it all in:)

Cruz was so happy to be there

I loved the way this turned out. It was starting to get dark outside.

We spent the whole day after that driving to the mountains. Cruz and Colt got to see lots their Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and cousins (and they're still not done yet). We finally made it to my parents house, the place where I grew up. My Dad is remodeling the kitchen and fixing lots of things that have broken down from the house being vacant for so long. Yesterday I helped him fix a broken pipe in the field that feeds our water down from the artisan well. It was fun I got to play in the mud barefooted:) 

So more to come when I get a chance. Colt has been teething nonstop and his schedule has been nonexistent so when things calm down some more maybe I can post some more pictures.

Our First Walk

This is our first walk of the spring.

We usually try to walk around the neighborhood

once a day during the summer.

 He is always marching around the house

like he's in marching band... :)

No wonder he was so wet when we got home.

 He's getting tired of me asking him to look at the camera. I was trying to 

capture his

beautiful eyes in the sun.
