Bluebonnets!

Smelling the flowers.
What is this?

Going for a walk.

Mommy and her girl.

We went to Austin this weekend to celebrate the first birthdays of Luke and Miles Puthoff. Their parents Elizabeth and Brendan are friends of ours from UT (the Texas one) and we haven't been able to see them very often so we hit the road to share this wonderful time with them and their awesome boys. Unfortunately this time of year is when the wild flowers are blooming and everyone was on the road to stop and get pictures. (This is kind of a Texas tradition.) Well we got caught in traffic so decided to pull over, eat lunch and get some pictures. Mollie loved playing in the flowers and did pretty well.
We had fun at the birthday party and John was even able to go out last night with Brendan and Alan (our friend Kim's boyfriend.) However, we woke up this morning and Mollie just wasn't right. Sure enough, after she got out of the shower she threw up all over the hotel bed so back in the shower she went with Daddy. We had to cut our trip short and not see the Puthoffs but there was no way she was going to be around the boys and possibly get them sick. So, back home we went. She did pretty good on the way home; granted she got to watch "Cars" twice. :)

She's feeling better and her temperature has come down but she and I will be home tomorrow because John has to go to St. John's to do a few things before he can considered officially hired by the hospital.

We are so excited about this new opportunity for him and LOVE the idea of normal hours and no weekends! Hopefully we'll get to do a lot more as a family and John will get to fish more! :)
Love to all!
