Life in the South

We've had a good couple of weeks adjusting to life in San Antonio. 70 degree weather sure helps that too. Bill's parents came for a visit which kept us entertained and running around exploring our new area. We celebrated Bill's birthday. We ventured to the zoo. We've also started attending a church down here and have enjoyed the 2 weeks of that. Sophie has even been learning some new bible stories.

Here are some pictures and Sophie's version of Samuel listening to God. (You will also get a little tour of our new apartment)

Claire-bear turned 8 months yesterday. She has been a bit of a crank pot lately. I'm going to blame it on teething. She is still a sweet thing though, and quite the little mover. Although not crawling - she started an army crawl which usually gets her to what she wants.

Sophie and Bill blowing out his cannoli ice cream cake (he turned 3 according to Sophie)

Yes, these are palm trees my friend. I'm not sure if they are native to this area, because it seems that they are mostly growing outside of stores and restaurants, but still so nice to see!


Zoo fun

Ha! Sophie's story is so sweet!! SAMUUUUELLL...
Glad you are doing well. I'm a tintsy bit envious of your weather and palm trees. Sigh.

Is it me or does Soph look older?

Hi Paulina! We miss you guys!!!

You want a zoo comparison story, you Southern gal? I took the kids to the zoo last week on what was supposed to be a "warm" day in the 40's. I don't think the temp got above freezing that day, and certainly not while we were at the zoo. We froze to death and to make it worse, all the animals were off display... except for the polar bears who were understandably having a ball! We will NOT be going back until Spring!

Loved the video! How sweet. It's so nice to get a glimpse of warm San Antonio.
