Happy Sunday!

We've had a great weekend so far and wanted to just post a little update since it has been a few weeks.



We have had a very busy and challenging past couple of weeks, but we always try to have a little fun when we can. This weekend has been a great weekend. William is always such fun and lately his little personality is just really showing. He is such a funny little boy. He has all of us laughing pretty much all the time.



Yesterday William and Daddy spent the morning in a "Build Your Own Monster Truck" class at Lowes. They had so much fun and William was really excited to build his truck. He wants to paint it now :-)













Mommy decided that Sunday morning would be an adventure at the zoo with a picnic breakfast. We asked William who he wanted to eat with and he very quick said Daisy. Daisy is his favorite animal and is a giraffe. He believes Daisy is his. We packed up some muffins, eggs, and juice and headed to the zoo. During the hot summer months the zoo opens as early as 7:30 for members and we took advantage of it. That is the perfect time to go to the zoo. Not many people and you can still see some of the animals sleeping. It was a lot of fun. We spent a lot of time watching some silly monkeys chase and play with each other. They were very cute. Daisy made her big appearance of the morning right when we were ready for breakfast. Will was just too excited and kept saying "Good Morning my Daisy!"







We may do a little swimming this afternoon before our work week begins again tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great weekend!



Hugs,

Will's Summer Adventure (Part 1) at the Farm

What a fun, crazy, and exciting week this has been for our little family. Colby started his new position on Monday, which he absolutely loves so far, and Sara went back to work for the month of June. William spent most of the week at his Memaw and Pawpaw's farm. They had a blast. We had to share some of the pictures from their great adventure with him.

Memaw and Pawpaw brought him back to Cibolo on Thursday, and boy were we glad to see him. Mommy and Daddy missed him very, very much. William was so excited to be home. If we didn't know better we might suspect that coffee was slipped to the boy Thursday night, but we think all of the excitement just got to him. It was really very cute.Today we spent the day exploring some of the lavender farms near Blanco. It is Blanco's annual lavender festival and we had a really nice time. We even tried lavender ice cream. :-) After our farming adventure we had lunch in Johnson City and said our good byes to Memaw and Pawpaw. It was sad to see them go, but William can't wait for his next farm adventure in August.

We hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Until next time :-)
