Sweet Hazel

Here are a couple of more pictures of little Hazel. She was an absolute delight the entire week. She was happy about 99% of the time. She did cry when Samuel pretended to be a lion, and the lion roared and bit little sister. But, that unpleasant game was over pretty quickly!

8 Days in April

For the last 8 day, our house has been a hive of activity. Bret and Amber took a vacation to Hawaii, just the two of them. So, Samuel and Little Hazel took a vacation to Nana and Padron's house. Samuel is two and a half, and he is a bundle of energy, all the time. We scheduled some activities to keep him busy: a trip to feed the ducks, baking cookies, helping Nana make breakfast, a trip to the lake to see the water, and a few others. Little sister is very sweet and loving. She loves to cuddle, and she loves to laugh. Uncle Clark and Aunt Mupp (Danielle) were here, too, at least for half of the days. The kids love their Aunt and Uncle, and having some extra hands around was a tremendous blessing. My favorite moment of the week was the night that Samuel gave me a kiss and told me I was his friend forever.

Easter Surprise!

We had a great Easter surprise! My niece and nephew from Amarillo stopped in for a visit. Seems they selected a new puppy from Shamrock, Texas, and since Shamrock was fairly close to us, they drove on over to see us. What a blessing! Eva and Shelby, we love you, and hope you come back to see us again soon!
