Weiner Dog Races

This is an annual event in nearby Buda, TX which draws more than 30,000 people from six states. And, yes...it's weiner dogs racing. They put I think six dogs in at once and they run about 100 yards. The winner of each round moves up and eventually they have a weiner winner. The races where fun to see but they also had lots of vendors, food and live music. Aaron loved the shuttle ride on the school bus and getting to tour the firetruck. It was a fun day out in the community!
I was only slightly tempted to adopt a weiner dog from the rescue place that was there.

IVF, here we go again!

As you saw from the title, we are on the road again with in-vetro fertilization. So many of you prayed for us the first go around and we are so blessed with Aaron. But, our hearts still desire more children, so the Lord has led us to this point once more. The doctor’s office told us not to tell too many people in case the news was disappointing, but we believe in the power of prayer. So, we are asking you to keep our family and the doctors and nurses overseeing all this in your prayers over the next 6 weeks. Hopefully we will send out happy news sometime in June. If not, we trust God’s plan for our lives. But, until then, it’s one step at a time and one prayer at a time.

Easter Fun

Being silly with the Easter Grass.


Aaron and a couple of friends at an Easter craft playdate with my moms group.
We enjoyed our Easter weekend. After church on Easter Sunday the sun came out and we had a very relaxing day at home. I even let Aaron skip his nap because I just wanted to enjoy the day with him and Greg.
In other news, we are gearing up to begin our IVF cycle. Please keep us in your prayers throughout this process! We should be done and have news by mid-June.
Last week was full of changes as I decided to focus my professional efforts on my studio lessons and am throwing in the towel with teaching Kindermusik. Although I love it and want Aaron to continue taking classes, it was taking my mornings and other time away that I just don't want to give up anymore!
Also, we had had to take Sarah back to PAWS. She is a wonderful dog, but Aaron was constantly grabbing her and chasing her. The last two straws were when she showed her teeth when a little friend accidentaly fell on her and the next day I came home and she had eaten through the bottom of the fence to get out. I took her back then and there. I'm sorry that it didn't work out, but it has been more peaceful around here not having to constantly correct Aaron.

Playing with friends





Aaron had over his new little friends Chase and Ryan for a playdate the other day. He loved dressing up with them, playing chase and tackling.

Picture time












Grandma Terri, Grandpa Jerry and Grandpa Brown came to visit for a week in March and we had a wonderful time. We had a couple days to go down to Corpus Cristi and see the "beach...water!" as Aaron said over and over.

Aaron is talking more and more. I'll probably post lots of new pictures, so check for more posts!
