San Angelo visit (9 years)
Bryce earned his yellow belt last week. I don’t know how often I’ve seen him that proud. This weekend I took the kids to San Angelo. They went wild at the mention of going to see Gahga; and for good reason… they played twister, roller bladed, were fed eggs – toast – bacon – ham – strawberries – cinnamon rolls (etc) daily, sprayed with silly string, read books, listened to tapes, played with their cousin Rachel, played Battleship, played cards and basically played until they passed out. In fact, Sunday night Zoe sat down for dinner and fell asleep sitting at the table in front of her food (I’ve never seen that). They also got to see Cindy, Caitlyn, Mark and Carrie. On a sad note, this was the 9th anniversary of the passing of our first son. We went to his grave and talked about him and to him. Bryce is getting old enough to understand. So after all this we drove home and the kids slept for two straight hours. Something only a parent would appreciate – Zoe stopped me on both trips so she could go to the bathroom. BIG kudos fell on her. The hill country is BEAUTIFUL right now. All the wildflowers and bluebonnets are in bloom. When we got home the kids got my camera and started taking pictures… creative!
