It's Grandpa Bill again!

Every now and then, Grandpa Bill gets to come down and hang out with us.  He picked a good time of year to come, but unfortunately Texas got hit with some ice storms and colder weather, so it wasn't much of a winter escape from Montana for him.  After a delay in Houston, he finally made it down, and of course, made it to the beach.  We took the ferry across to Port Aransas and hit the beach shops and the water... not too bad for February.


The native Texan with the native Marylander.


Farrah was a fan... but she'll love anyone who gives her any kind of attention.


Gotta hit the water.


And get a little sand-covered.

Another great visit, and we know he'll be back again soon! 

Is it Summer yet?

Well, it feels like Spring anyway.  Winter didn't stay long in Texas.  The sun has been shining, the air is warm, and it's all around been beautiful.  The boys have been out playing in the yard and jumping on the trampoline as often as we force them to.  Nolan, in particular, seems to enjoy the yard and throwing a ball around.  Oh, to be a one year old...




 
Is that Adam pushing the car? This may not be the best idea...


I guess we should enjoy it while it lasts!  It won't be long before the heat and humidity comes back, but for now, we'll just be outside...
