For Memorial Day this year we had a pretty low key day, but still wanted to do something different. So we setup our inflatable kids pool in the backyard in the morning and let the kids splash around in the sprinklers for a bit. Then we went over to Sam's house for a BBQ for dinner and enjoyed some good company. We had a great day!
For Mother's day Saul really went all out and got me flowers and balloons (which I loved)!
And then this crazy/brave man made me a chocolate pecan pie! With homemade pie crust. Which I have never even attempted myself. But his turned out great! So he is definitely on the hook from here on out, because homemade tastes a lot better than the refrigerated ones.
For the record, I did not get to eat the last piece of this pie. I was told it mysteriously disappeared one night under suspicious circumstances...
We also took a long weekend to go to San Antonio in mid-May since I had some vacation days to use up. Sadly, being hugely pregnant and having 2 children under the age of 4 makes for some difficult circumstances (especially for the Daddy), but we all survived. Barely. We went to the Alamo first. Then stopped by New Braunfels for a huge park that the kids loved -- 5 different playground areas and riding on a train -- and had some German food (Saul's favorite part of the trip). We drove through to San Marcos for some crazy outlet shopping and then called it good. There was some swimming and good meals interspersed in there, along with Fred getting a terrible cold that spread to the rest of us over the coming weeks. Car trips and disease are not a good mix.
Here is Andreas showing us his rock at the Alamo.
And the only pregnancy picture I am allowing for posterity reference only. And yes, it is extremely uncomfortable to walk around looking like this in 100 degree weather chasing 2 little kids. Around Andreas's neck are his new binoculars he got at the Alamo gift shop which were the hit of the trip!
