The Perfect Day

On Wednesday, March 15th we were given a perfect family day. The day before you had a random fever and slept on the couch all day long...worried that you were coming down with something I took the next day off of work. But when you woke up you were fever free! So we decided to take advantage of the day. We loaded up the car and headed downtown, it was a beautiful day. Our first stop was coffee and tacos from el Chilito. Then daddy surprised us by taking us to some local farms. First on the list was Boggy Creek Farm, we walked all around looking at all the veggies and flowers. We saw chickens and ducks, you loved it! We asked you what you wanted to buy and you said eggs, so we had you pick out six special dark fresh eggs. You picked green ones, red ones avid white ones. Second farm was SpringDale farm, we saw a lot of ducks here! And they had a teepee, we loved walking all around together. The weather was perfect. They even had a scarecrow your size! The third farm was HausBrau Farm and you saw a donkey!!

Then we went to lunch at Gourmands, we all are yummy food & daddy and got some beers. Music played and you danced and played with big blocks. Next we went to Whole Foods, where you and Henley fell asleep so daddy parked in the shade and we waited til you girlies woke up. Daddy went and got him and I kombucha and our favorite desserts: daddy- pecan pie, mommy- chocolate mousse. Then when you woke up we went to take pictures by Uncle Chase's ATX sign. It was so cool! You loved climbing all around. Then we decided to head north and go to Hat Creek Burger for burgers, a beer, milkshakes and you could play. DiDi & T met us there for a little while.

It was a simple day, but so wonderful. To get out and just be together. I love you and our family so much. Your smile brings such joy to my heart. Your voice is like a song for my soul.

It was a perfect day.

You started Pre-School!

Halen you started pre-school this year and it has been an absolute joy watching you learn. You are in the Monkey class at Bethany Methodist with Ms. Laura & Ms. Shannon. You go every Monday and Friday and you have Sheridan, Owen, Camryn and Reese in your class. You have learned so much! You learned all your colors by October and have developed some great social skills too. You love to play on the playground and to do the Movement part of class. For Halloween, you dressed up like a strawberry and had a little party that mommy came to. You painted your pumpkin and won, "Most Religious" which made mommy and daddy so proud.
