It's official!

Well it's official! We have the chicken pox at our house. How about that. Jace came in yesterday morning and raised up his shirt and asked what this was. My response - "a problem". Not sure how long this is gonna keep him out of school. So far it hasn't been to bad. Yesterday he had 14 pox and so far today he is up to 21. They are confined to his torso area right now. I am really hoping it stays that way.

I'm told that Linly will get it as well. Ugh! Right now she has one place that looks suspicious. Don't know if it will be the first for her or not. This sure messes up Easter weekend. Of course Linly's Easter dress would have been a little chilly since it is suppose to be snowing this Easter. Hopefully she will get to wear it next weekend.



By the way, for all you moms, I didn't realize that there are two shots to the chicken pox vaccine and the first is required and the second is only if the parent requests it. The kids getting the chicken pox right now are the ones with only one shot. Wish I had known sooner.

Spring Break

Well Spring Break has come and gone and it was wonderful. This was a very fun Spring Break. We stayed in Galveston at a beach house with my parents, and my sisters family. We spent a lot of time seeing things and a lot of time just playing. We ended the week by heading to San Antionio and seeing a Spurs game - unfortunatly I don't have any pictures of that cause the camera came to an untimely end just before the game started.


Jace looking out into the bay at San Leon. My dad found this incredible restuarant there. Very out of the way, but very worth it.











Rick and Jace having a deep discussion I'm sure :)


















Papa just fed the birds some shrimp heads and they came quickly. I don't know what Jace thinks he is gonna do to them.











Jace getting ready to throw a stick at the birds. That will scare 'em.

Jace at a bone exhibit


















Petting sting rays at Kemah Boardwalk. This was really cool. Jace got to touch a lot of them, but Linly was too scared.











Jace at NASA in front of some part of a space shuttle. You can see I know a lot about it.

He was very impressed with the memorial for all the astronauts that have died while going into space or returning. He also really liked getting to see the real moon rock and walking through a shuttle.












Linly putting a puzzle together at a "Brain" exhibit. She LOVES puzzles. I thought we would never get her away from this thing.













Jace, Linly and Kaylee on some teeth at the Health Museum. This was a really neat place, just wish we had more time and less crowded time of day.

Geta and Linly















Linly in the butterfly exhibit. It is just amazing. You can't walk anywhere without have a lot of butterflies around. They are beautiful. Here one is landing on Linly's bow. She had them on her hair all day. They loved the pink.
















I've never seen Jace wait so patiently for something. He loved having the butterflies land on him.
