Yoga... OUTSIDE... in February... TWICE!

Warm weather has been good for business as people like being OUTSIDE when it's supposed to be cold.

Palo Duro Canyon Zipline

Julie was looking for something FUN to do for her mom's 61st birthday. 
They went to the Amarillo Rock Climbing House (ARCH) last year. 
This year she invited us to try out the Canyon zip line. 
Another GOOD decision!

Once we got off the tram, Owen expressed my feelings by NOT wanting to do it after all. 
Kaden didn't seem phased.

Part of the "experience" is to walk the swaying bridge to the zip line platform. 
This INDEED was the scariest part.  I seriously had doubts that I could do it (sweaty palms and all).

Ms. Evelyn ready to go-- she seriously didn't seem the slightest bit scared.
Happy Birthday, Joyce!

Grace is 1 Month

Amazing at how time flies!
It's been a month at home with Ms. Grace Dow and thankfully she is SUCH a wonderful, good-natured baby.  She seldom cries and is an excellent sleeper.  She typically eats every 4 hours, even during the night so I feel fairly rested. 

At her 2-week appointment she had already put on a pound and gained 2.5 inches!  What?!?

Long & lean

briefly holding her head up, but not quite able to focus.  :)

Wildcat Bluff Nature Trail

When the weather acts schizophrenic in February, you take full advantage while you can!
Kaden helped me pack a picnic and we drove to Wildcat Bluff nature trail before nap time.
