Getting Ready for a Garden

Spring School Picture

Friday Chris went to see my parents to finish up a State Farm Loan he is doing for them.  When he got home he brought back a little gardening set from Lolly and Grandad!  Caroline was so excited and wanted to immediately break it in.  

We will plant her first garden after Easter so for now she is getting practice plowing ground in the corners of the yard.  Daddy got his big yard tools out and helped break the ground up for her.

The recent dust storms have not been kind to the backyard.  Caroline took it upon herself to start cleaning the windows with water from her spray bottle. Chris finished the job on the door and cleaned the windows too.  Living in West Texas is awesome but you won't find " Come see how nasty your home can get living here!" in the brochures. 

Also on Friday:

My job has very little perks but occasionally one will happen.  On Friday the whole Monterey counseling team was invited to eat at the Texas Tech Club! I heard a great presentation on some of the new graduation gear and I ate a delicious piece of fish. 

But the Best thing that has happened on Friday was my new niece was born!!!

Isn't she adorable!  I can't wait to pinch those cute little checks!

 This was my favorite pictures.  Leah and Lane both adore her. Nana and Papaw are there sending us lots of great pictures.  

A couple of pictures from Saturday:

Sitting on the sidelines: Caroline is now big enough to climb all by herself so I sat on the bench and watched her play- a bitter sweet moment for sure.
