We finally got around to taking some “senior pictures” of Alex this week. We’d been talking about making time to do this since November. Figured if we didn’t hurry he wouldn’t be a senior anymore. Graduation is in two week!

Spring Break this week. We convinced the kids to spend part of a day with us (harder than you might think!). We went to the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth to see a photo exhibit called The Art of the American Snapshot 1888-1978. After the museum we went to the Stockyards and had lunch. Alex was able to meet up with a girl who is going to Tarleton next year who happens to also be the niece of his guidance counselor. All in all a nice day.

This is the second year Alex was recognized along with his fellow team members at the meeting. This meeting recognized student from the Academic Decathlon, Swimming & Diving and Wrestling.

Met up with David and his family and Mom and Dad at a nice house in Ft. Myers Beach. Weather was a little rainy, but we have great time. Got to see Meg and her family in Tampa on the way up AND the way down (oh yeah, we drove). Even got to meet a bunch of the Bittls for the first time in 25 years!

More holiday photos. Had a great time seeing Meg, Gustavo, David and Daniel while we were in Florida for Christmas. The boys are growing fast! We got to see them all on the way down and on the way back we met them and the Bittls at the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersberg. Really neat museum. Highy recommended.
