A perfect weekend for some tennis!

Last weekend was gorgeous! We finally had a weekend that felt like spring. There wasn't anymore snow in the yard and definitely none on the nearby tennis courts! With a little coaxing from Darren's parents (ok, it didn't take much!), we decided to put off our homework for a couple of hours and enjoy the great outdoors. If felt so good to play tennis! We hadn't played since last October when I was eight months pregnant with Lila. I will add that I think it's always good to put off homework for a little physical activity--it's an investment in your health! (One of these days I'll get up on my soapbox and blog all about my passion for fitness and wellness!) So we played a little tennis and then went to a nearby man-made fishing pond where Darren's neice Emalia was fishing. Enjoy the pics!

Grandpa insisted on taking a couple family pics...only Lila's looking at the camera in this one!
Lila's face looks so funny in this one. My poor fair baby doesn't know to think of the bright sunshine!

Cute pics! How fun!! I love tennis!! This weekend is looking to be our first warm weekend so maybe we'll have to go play as well..I was so excited to see that our apts for the summer have tennis courts right next door, sand V-ball, pool and a baseball field. We'll for sure be playing outside everyday:) I love the header on your blog..way cute!

All the emotions

Moving of course brings up all sorts of thoughts and feelings. As I declutter and go through all of our stuff I get distracted with the memories that items bring up. I've had moments of sadness and feeling like time flies far too quickly. But of all the feelings, the most overwhelming one has been joyful gratitude. All my reflections on these years here in Austin, and most especially this last year have made me realize how far I've come in my life. This year I have achieved just about all I could ever hope for in life. I've come to love life with all it's ups and downs. I've learned how to roll with the punches and keep my chin up when things get tough. I've truly learned to put myself at the top of the priority list. I have more of myself to give than ever before. I've learned how to give and receive friendship. I've come to love and accept myself as I am. I know I am stronger than ever (and not just my muscles, but truly I think I am physically at my...

Well, I've found out that a middle aged man has been coming on my blog and looking at pictures of my children.  I am obviously very uncomfortable with this, so it's time to go private. I'm happy to let any of you continue reading, as long as I know you and know you're not creepy! Just post your e-mail address and I'll add it to the list :o)

Lila is 2!!

By
Where did the time go? My baby is two and not really a baby at all. We love her to pieces and can't imagine life without her. She continues to learn things quickly and is already starting to read. Just kidding!! Just wanted to see if you were reading my post. Lila loves to learn, but she's not a genius (sorry sweetie--your genes aren't that good!). Lately she's been learning the sounds the letters make (she learned the alphabet at 16 mos.) and by sight she recognizes the words "cat", "dog", "Mom", "Dad", and "Lila." She knows all the colors (although her colorblindness sometimes gets her mixed up on red and green...those darn genes again!), shapes, and numbers 1-15. She enjoys singing, playing the "I Spy" game, running, climbing, going to nursery on Sunday, bike rides, looking at books, and going to the library. Oh yeah, and did I mention that she likes chocolate just as much as I do?? Maybe I shouldn't ha...
