What A Month!

(posted by Kathy) Well, we haven't been on here in a while. Sorry for that. I noticed that the last time we posted was after the rodeo. The rest of February passed pretty uneventfully. Addi got a little bigger. That's about it. March has been a fun month. Maybe that's why we haven't gotten on here. Addi got the chance to jump in a moonwalk for the first time. She got to meet CJ's student, Brittany's new donkey named Jack. He's really sweet. About a week later we travelled to Dallas for a debate tournament with a couple of CJ's students. It was pretty neat for Addi & Lacye to get to see snow for the first time! She (Addison, not Lacye) continued to want to go outside and "Play snow!" although it sounded a little more like "pay hno." Cute stuff. She is just more adorable every day. All of the things she does are just amazing! When spring break hit for us, we went to Garner State Park. While there, we went to the dance every night. Addi, of course, danceed her heart out. She gave everyone high fives and knuckles after each song. She then asked where the music went and was ecstatic when the next song started up. It was a bit cooler than we had hoped for, but one afternoon it was warm enough to go ahead and jump in the river. The Frio was not as frio as we were expecting, which was nice. Addi also got to do a little early Easter egg hunt. After Garner, we visited in San Antonio a bit. So, going from the cold of snow to the comfy coolness of Garner, we returned to warm, almost hot Houston. Thankfully we have a nice breeze going on. We decided the day was looking to be so nice that we went to the Houston Zoo. Another first for Addi this month! She had a blast!!! We started off riding the carousel. Then we walked through the children's area followed by the regular part of the zoo. Her favorite was the Giraffes. She also enjoyed all of the water, as she pointed it out to us every time there was some flowing near us. The zoo ended up being too much for her and she fell asleep in her stroller before we got to the monkeys. Oh well. Another time. The Houston Zoo doesn't hold a candle to the San Antonio Zoo, so we are looking forward to taking her there over the summer. Our week ended by going to Jersey Village Baptist Church where Kirby & Wendy go to see the Path to the Cross. Kirby was a great Jesus and Wendy sold those chickens & eggs like a champ. The whole experience was very moving. Easter morning we went back to Jersey Village for worship. That afternoon we came home and did our own egg hunt in the back yard. She found all her eggs really quickly. She then sat down to see what was in them all. When she got to the cascarone, she squeezed it like the plastic ones and it broke all over her. She loved it. Addi was looking adorable all day. Our family has been so blessed! Addison has grown so much and is really becoming her own little person. She picks up words like nobody's business these days and knows all the capital letters of the alphabet. She is just amazing. I think I've already said that. If I did, then I stand by it.
