Dallas in April

On April 3rd, I had a meeting in Dallas so we got to go stay the night at the Omni.  After my Tuesday meeting, we had the day off to explore and hang out in Dallas. 

We checked out of our hotel, had lunch at Breadwinners and then heard tornado sirens.  There were tornadoes all around us and we had sunshine and a few raindrops!! We headed over to Presbyterian hospital where Nanny had been admitted.  We hunkered down until the storms blew over and once the rain stopped - it was a lovely evening!! We met Brenda, Mike, Ethan & Isaac for dinner and then headed to our hotel at the Hotel Intercontinental. 

The next day we had a yummy sushi lunch (Andrew's favorite!) at Blue Fish where Sammy worked before heading to the Dallas Aquarium.  It was a lot of fun with hands on activities including feeding the stingrays!

Our Budding Photographer

Our Andrew is definitely a budding photographer.  Anytime he finds one of our cameras, he runs around the house shooting pictures of random things as shown below:

 

Quack Quack Bathtime

On a few occasions, we bathe the kids together.  They have fun and it knocks bathtime in half :)  This was one of the last times we got to use old Quackie though.  He got a hole in him shortly after :(

Pretty Ballerina!

One afternoon while Andrew and David were hanging out, Alyssa and I decided to take pictures.  Such a pretty ballerina! :)

Here is where the really silly time began... loving on that Hippo! :)

Here I think she was trying to dig in the hippos mouth...not sure...

Alyssa, here you are loving on your baby Hippo..."Awwww" is what you would say while patting your babies! You LOVE your babies! Sooo sweet!

Fun with Balloons!

Just some random pictures of Alyssa loving life in her jammies with balloons still left over from Andrew's 5th birthday party....

Boas and Books

What Diva doesn't wear a boa while reading her books? Certainly not our Alyssa! :)  And not just one boa...but two! :)

Movie Time and Pallets

One of our family's favorite things to do is to make pallets and watch movies together.  I had to sneak this picture of Andrew & Alyssa sitting together.  They are watching the Muppets (the same one I watched when I was 5!) and eating their snacks.  Love these moments!
