Spring Break: Fredericksburg & Enchanted Rock

We had such a fun couple of days in Fredericksburg and going to Enchanted Rock State Natural Area for the day. We had to line up in our car pretty early in the morning to be sure we were let into the park. It was a fun day, hiking around, spotting some funny yogis, and getting lost a bit, too.






















The last time we were in Fredericksburg, the kids were so much younger! This little courtyard is actually where Miles took his first steps. So we recreated the moment. :)

 
That same trip, back in 2007 (ten years earlier!), Audrey and Parker had a giggly moment right by that fountain where Miles walked. So we recreated that one, too!

Spring Break: Houston & San Antonio

We headed back down to Houston and the Hill Country for Spring Break. What a nice time to visit! We stayed at the Houstonian, a nice old resort near the Galleria. That night, Audrey and I went to see one of her favorite musicians, Agnes Obel, in the Heights. What an awesome show; Audrey has such good taste. The next morning, we started out checking out our old digs, and even spent some time at the Rodeo! Here we are at Old Braeswood Park.




The next day, we headed north a bit to San Antonio. We had never seen the missions there before, and Miles had just learned about a few of them at school, so that was extra cool. They were beautiful! Missions San Jose and Concepcion.

Audrey's birthday!

We had fun with Audrey and her friends in Fort Worth for her sixteenth birthday. We started out the evening at Ephemera on West Magnolia, where we made custom mini terrariums. Then we walked down the road to Brewed for dinner, and slowly made our way up to Melt for dessert. Such a fun crew!














In our ward, around the girls' birthdays, everyone fills a chalkboard with their compliments and favorite things about the birthday girl! This was Audrey's board. :)

Talents and Scouts

Miles earned some awards at his international-themed pack meeting and nailed his guitar performance in the Florence Talent Show. Audrey accompanied him on the piano. So good!









Parker played with his band back in January at Creative Soul, and this seemed like a good post to throw the picture into.

Sunday Pics

Everybody looked really spiffy on Sunday, so we took a couple of pictures after church. Meredith helped. :)
