April Birthdays

Chris and his Papaw both celebrate their birthday's in April. On most years we get to celebrate both birthdays together which is becoming more and more special. This year we celebrated over Easter weekend. Chris's parents came into town and we enjoyed spending time with them.

On Saturday night, we enjoyed an amazing Easter service at church and then had a small family celebration with Jane and Rand at Salt Grass.

On Sunday, we ate lunch at with Chris's Aunt and Uncle's home. We enjoyed at fabulous meal and then celebrated Chris and Papaw's birthday...

...with cake and ice cream!

Beavers Bend 2009

During the last weekend of March we made our annual trip to Beavers Bend, OK for our "camping" trip. This was the 5th year that we have made the trip with our friends from church. Our group has grown and we have really enjoyed watching all the family dynamics change. This year we didn't get to drive up until Friday afternoon so the trip was cut a little short, but we were determined not to miss it. Thanks to the cold weather we enjoyed an entire weekend of relaxation. While we missed our usual activities of hiking, canoeing, tennis, etc. we really needed the time to catch up on a little R and R.

We shared the cabin with Kim and Gary this year! We had a blast getting spend more time with them. Can't wait til next year.

One of our favorite parts of the trip is enjoying the beautiful view from our cabin and the amazing sound of the flowing river. Rex enjoys all the squirrels that taunt him day and night!

And, we love the quiet walks along the river! What a beautiful place... God is good!
