Swimmer

The first 2 weeks of March, Madeline took swim lessons every day. We are going to take 2 weeks off, and then do 1-2 days / week beginning in April. I was very impressed with how much she learned and how much progress she made in her 2 week class. The parents were not allowed in the pool area until the last day, so I just have pictures from their last lesson. Madeline did such a great job. I cannot wait until the neighborhood pools open so we can go swimming together.

Springtime in Texas

I think March and April are easily my favourite months. Its warm and sunny outside, but not quite hot yet. I like to spend as much time as possible outside. Madeline can play in the barkyard or with sidewalk chalk, and I bring Owen's swing outside so even he can enjoy the fresh air. We eat dinner outside during these months, and go to the park as often as possible. Here are a few pictures of Madeline playing outside the past few weeks.

Family Pictures

This past weekend, we went to Austin and got to visit with one of my favourite people. Shauna and I have been friends since we were in diapers. She is probably the nicest person I have ever met. I'm not sure if I've ever heard her say anything mean. In addition to being the sweetest person in the world, she is also an amazing photographer. She took some family pictures this past weekend. I had planned on doing another round of family pictures in the fall, but after seeing all the pictures she took, I'm thinking maybe this spring, and then again in the fall. :)

I'll post all of the pictures in an album on our shutterfly, and you can also see them at her website: Autry Photography
