It's never too late to start something new so here it goes. I want to share memories & photos with our family and friends so it was decided that a new blog would be the answer. I think it will compliment Wes's wonderful blog "His Eye Is On The Sparrow" but by no means will it compete!
March is the month that Matt G comes to Austin to attend SXSW and this year was no exception. It is always great to have him here during that time.... then it gets even better when the rest of Matt's family joins him here in Liberty Hill. Wes and I had fun playing with Morgan (6), Emma (4), and Viola (2). The pictures that follow show some of the good memories made during this March, 2012 visit. One day I went with the Matt G family on a beautiful drive to Pedernales State Park (Wes had to work but joined us for dinner on the way back), another day was horseback riding, and of course everyday there is great adventure in the woods around our home.
Here is our sweet Emma posing in the middle of the Pedernales River.
Love that smile!
Morgan showed much strength walking upstream to this
spot. Way to go!
Brother and sister braving the cold water together!
Viola was most content sitting with Mom and Dad but
she did get into picking up shells and digging in the sand.
Wes was able to join us for dinner on the way home from Pedernales State Park. He chose a favorite spot "Boathouse Grill" where we could dine outside and the kids could play on the playground.
Back at Liberty Hill, I managed to find boots for all the kids so they were a little more protected from the elements of the "wilderness". Here are sisters
Viola and Emma headed out for a hike.
Yep, Liberty Hill heaven for sure! Viola, Jan, Emma, & Morgan.
Wes tried to get a bluebonnet picture in the field next to our house but the kids were just too freaked out by the bugs. Baby 'V", Morgan, & Emma.
Viola sure likes for PapaWes to carry her...& he happily cooperates.
Our sweet friends across the road let the kids ride one of their horses (that's Cinco in the background). Here are Emma, V, and Morgan getting ready to ride!
This is Cinco's owner, Katie Schiele. What a blessing she is! She was very patient while everyone took their turn riding. Thank you Katie!
Morgan went first and rode like a pro!
Next, Emma rode & Katie let Morgan lead Cinco. You are quite a cowgirl, Emma!
Baby V didn't want to have anything to do with getting on such a big horse until she saw Morgan & Emma ride. So up she went and Morgan and Emma both got to lead Cinco.
You go, Baby V!
Here we are at the end of our ride with Katie and her mom, Andi Schiele.
Back at our place, Morgan, Viola, and Emma posed on the step of the "fort" their daddy helped build when he was a boy.
It's not easy to say goodbye but the Matt G family had to head back to Midland. Hurry back!!
Beautiful pictures! Beautiful family...
