As you can tell, we had a great Spring Break week. I only worked two days so I could spend some quality time with my kiddos. The weather was gorgeous so we spent most of our time outside. We made a trip to the zoo and walked a nature trail. The boys were begging to go swimming..seriously! Um...not yet boys! My Dad flew us to McKinney to the Heard Musuem and nature trail for the day. A great day trip and the best part was that it took only 30 mins from MP. Sweet! We enjoyed our time together but sure did miss Brian, who was working quite a bit. Only FOUR more weeks of Tax Season..yay!

So...it's been two months

One of Lincoln FAVORITE ppl...Pawpaw

Definitely one of Lincoln's fav ppl! "Daa-Tee!"

Even though it's been super busy at the office, we've still tried to find time to have lots of fun!

Tax Season is in FULL swing and that means Brian is working double time!! Both boys just started baseball and practice started last week. They both seem excited about it. If you'll remember...Hudson didn't want to play last year but changed his mind this year. He moved up to Machine Pitch and Drew started TBall. They both did great at their first practice. Hopefully, they'll both love it and have a great time.

Lincoln is 17 months old and running around like crazy! We've been in close contact with his ENT b/c he's had an ear infection and both tubes have been dislodged somewhat. Dr isn't ready to do tubes again. HE said Linc will have to get several more infections before we start the process over again. He's talking WAY more than I remember the other boys talking at this age. He is putting two and three words together! Crazy. He's still pretty easy going but does stand his ground with his two older brothers. He comes and "taddles" when they take something from him or they won't let him have something. So cute! He runs to me and says "Mama, car" and pulls me to where the action happened. He is such a joy and I'm so glad God had me wait for this blessing.

Brian and I have been talking to Contractors and waiting on bids to build our new house. Hopefully, we'll find a good fit (as far as contractor) b/c we'll be in contact with this person daily for the next 6 months. I have been online a lot looking at pictures of new homes (since there aren't many in MP) trying to get my thoughts together on what I want the house to look like. Soooo many decisions to make so I'm trying to get ahead of the game. Things we know for sure: one story, 4 BR and a gameroom, all stone exterior and granite counters! I really wanted wood floors but doesn't look like that will be in the budget. :( That's about all we have decided so far! If any of you have seen interesting websites or blogs about current house construction & decor, I'd love to visit them. We LOVE the look of the new homes in the Austin area!

Take care and please continue to pray for my friend Sarah and her little girl Sadie.
