Mark's 34th!

Mark birthday was last weekend, so we had a little celebration with some good friends in our backyard! Here are a few pictures from the gorgeous spring day that we got to have.

I think year #34 is going to be a good one!

Spring in Dallas

Yes, this is a picture of our house today. March 21. In Dallas, TX. No Joke.

Even Kali wishes that it was warm outside!!! 

Winter Wonderland!!!(?)

Thursday this week, Dallas had a record-breaking snowfall...12.5" in a 24 hour period! What fun! We aren't used to that in Dallas! It's was so exciting to wake up to white-covered grounds and that chill of fresh snow. Kali has had the time of her life, playing in the snow, trying to catch snowballs that Mark throws for her (and can't figure out where they go when they land), and just frolicking through the white fluffy coldness. Too fun! Here are some pictures of the fun day!

And then the aftermath...we are learning the joys of home ownership in the winter. Power outages and big broken tree limbs! I guess our Dallas Oak Trees just can't handle the weight of all of that snow! So Mark is enjoying the Saturday with power tools and tree climbing...every boy's dream, right?!
