Baby Season

It has been that time of the year with lots of baby showers!!! I got to be apart of two very special showers for two of my closest long time friends. The first one was for Megan. We have so many memories all the way back to high school and now I have been able to watch her become a mom!!! We threw a shower for her and baby Owen! Baby Owen's room has an Owl theme, so we decided to throw that into the shower! Mr. Owen came early and just had his 2 week birthday! We have seen a lot of pictures and had some Facetime, but we can't wait to meet him in person!!!

The other baby shower was for another long time friend - Jennifer. We go way back and have shared so many memories with each other and our families! We are so excited for Jennifer and Jacob and can't wait to meet Miss Ellie!!!

Both of these friendships are so special to me, and I have been blessed by both of these women and their husbands! The relationships that we have bring us so much joy!! I just wish I lived closer than 3-5 hours so that I could see and hold these babies more often!!!

Spring

Apologies. We are officially the worst bloggers, ever.

Spring in a nutshell -

Sam

Samuel's new job at Fulbright ramped up. The international investigation I was involved in took up all of the hours in a day (and night). I know, everyone is busy these days.... There has been more normalcy since it ended, this month. So good news.
Gardening - Still an old man.
Birthday - Turned 27 years of age. I should be at my physical peak but I feel like I have been declining since the age of 22. Celebration was fun, though. Mando took me and my parents to a vineyard (old man) in Grapevine (the city). It was a fun weekend with friends and family.

Mando

Mandy has been making some pretty incredible food, lately. She's also been quite the crafty woman, as well as helping Sammy boy in the yard. She is turning into her mom (that's a good thing) :)

Random

Play time - Lots of play time with friends and family, when work has not consumed Sam. We got to see Rob, Melis, Reed and Quinci at Reed's bday party! We also just had a lot of Mia and Baby Thomas fun this past weekend. Pics to follow soon.
Here are some spring gardening pics for your viewing pleasure. None of that photoshop nonsense, either (too lazy). Went a little crazy with the tulips this year -
