And here's the rest of Spring Break

We got to Texas later than we'd wanted to, thanks to stimulus-dollar-road construction and a 45-minute parking lot experience in the middle of nowhere in Oklahoma. Added to that was the change to daylight savings.  We were SO glad that church wasn't at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday anymore, but at the more friendly hour of 11 a.m.

Unfortunately, as we arrived on Saturday night, Connor had just thrown up in his bed. Sunday morning, he was still quesy, but his recovery began the moment he received some Lego toys (a really late-birthday gift).  

It didn't take Alastair long to find a hidey-hole, and Lily really didn't mind.  She doesn't like her kennel anyway.

Sunday afternoon brought the warm sunshine and balmy feeling that was in such contrast to the snow and cold at home.  After 4 straight months of snow, this was VACATION! 

What a blissful feeling to sit and read a book in the sunshine!

Even Alastair thought it was a good idea.

And by the way, that is Dutch, who is about 10 times bigger than Lily.  (She was intimidated in a major way!)

Catherine helped me plan and plot a cross-stitch pattern for our Young Women to do.  I'm so grateful for her skills!  She took my vague idea and turned it into a finished project.  When I introduced it to the YW this week, it was a success.
