Spring is here!

Sorry about the long gap between posts. I have been very uninspired to sit and write anything the last few weeks and Peter has been boycotting at least one of his two naps the last 3 days so that hasn't helped. We went to church last night for the Saturday service so I am getting to write a little this Sunday morning. This last week was my sister Aimee's spring break and so we met her, Gracie, and Bowyn in San Antonio on Wednesday at Hemisfair Park. The first stop at the playground was crazy. There were hundreds of first graders on a field trip and you can hear the roar in one of the videos. The weather was perfect and the kids got to play and we walked to the River Walk to get some lunch. It was good to spend some time with you guys! Here are a few random videos of the day.

Peter's first time on the swings.



Waiting on our food at Rio Rio.



On a different note Pete has still been working out and eating healthy and is about half way to his goal. I am so proud of him for sticking with it! We are heading to Miami weekend after next because Pete is doing a wedding for our friends Chris and Jessie. We get to stay right on South Beach so I am ready for that! Anyone know of a good self tanner? lol.

Tomorrow morning Peter will be having surgery to open his tear duct that has never functioned since he was born. We have to be there between 6:00 and 6:30 in the morning and Peter is first in surgery since he is the youngest patient tomorrow. Please pray that everything goes as planned. I am not too nervous about the surgery itself, just the anesthesia. We are very excited for his poor eye to function correctly and I have no doubt that he will be greatful that I will not attack him with a wet rag 35 times a day to clean his eye up. :) He went for his pre-op this week and at 10 1/2 months is 21.5 lbs, and 30 inches tall. He has thinned out so much recently and looks like a little boy. He is eating just about anything now, making lots of new sounds, and getting into everything. He is started to climb on things which makes him able to reach a whole new level of stuff he isn't supposed to get into. He is not even trying to walk alone yet though, just hangs on to the wall, chairs, etc.

Well remember us tomorrow when some of you are snug in your beds and you others are on your way to work! I will give an update tomorrow when we get home!
