Spring!

Spring in Griffin, GA is absolutely beautiful! Mostly we have had great weather, but there have been a few really bad storms with tornado (or as Olivia says, tomato) activity in the area. It's amazing to see how these huge trees have been blown over with the whole root sytem just lifted out of the ground! Olivia and I are spending a lot of time playing outside. We have a BEAUIFUL yard full of azaleas, camelias, tulips, Dogwood trees, and other beautiful plants. Olivia is becoming quit the bike rider. Today, she tried going really fast then lifting her feet off the peddles and spreading her legs wide and hollering "look at me Mommy!" What made it even better was that she had no pants on and was wearing her apron and baker's hat. We had a wonderful visit with Mama and Poppa this past week. Visited the zoo, planted flowers and tomatoes, ate fajitas! Dad was nice enough to bring lots of groceries from HEB, a much needed treat. As much as we like our home here, and have enjoyed our time, we are getting homesick for Texas. Of course we miss our family and friends, but we are starting to really miss the places and stuff in Texas now too. We talked about it tonight and had a long list of things we miss: HEB, breakfast tacos, Rosarios, bluebonnets, wildflowers, deer, live oaks, The Grist Mill, Gruene Hall, Floore's, our house, less expensive groceries, inexpensive utilities, Shiner beer, The Guadelupe, and the list goes on...
