Rockwall Harbor

We went to Rockwall to check out the harbor development. It's still pretty new and there weren't as many stores as I thought there would be, but plenty of restaurants. Morgan had a good time watching the children play in the water fountain, but she didn't want any part of it herself. She was also facinated by the mama duck and her babies.















Mother's Day

I had a very low key Mother's Day - which is exactly what I wanted. Brian, Morgan and the Cats, each gave me a card (so sweet) and some chocolate covered strawberries - yum! We went to the Cottonwood Art Festival for a little while and then went out for dinner. It was a nice, relaxing day - perfect!

San Antonio

We took a quick weekend trip, at the end of April, to see my sister Lu. Along the way, we stopped in Austin to pick up my sister Tina. Morgan did suprisingly well for a 6 hour road trip, but we realized that anything longer than that would be too much. We spent Friday afternoon on the Riverwalk and then Saturday was spent at Lu's house where she invited all of the relatives to come over and hang out and meet Morgan. Some of the pictures have a blurry spot (thanks to Tina! Ha!) Brian took some video of the trip, which is after the pictures.

Easter 2011

Easter was wonderful this year. We colored eggs with Morgan on Saturday, which she enjoyed so much, that she got very upset when it was all over. Sunday morning we had breakfast and went to church and then Morgan received her Easter basket when we got home. I hid eggs out in the front yard and she had a blast loading them up in her basket. After her nap, we went to Grammy & Pap's house and hunted for even more Easter eggs. Easter was so much fun this year and I know it will only get better.


Hmmm, I'm not too sure about this Mommy


OK, I'll try


This is fun!


We each had our own egg: Mom, Morgan, & Dad

Very excited about her basket full of goodies!

Hibachi Birthday

Laura had a big birthday party on Good Friday and we planned on going, but I got sick and cancelled. It was a bummer, but we still got to celebrate her birthday with her the next night at Hibachi House. The waitstaff completely embarrassed her after the meal by singing Happy Birthday to her. She got a free dessert out of it though, which she shared with Morgan. They are BFFs afterall.

Hmmm, interesting looking fish


Happy Birthday to You...




Morgan loved playing with the chopsticks
