Mimi just gave me the pics from her iPhone from the adventures over Spring Break in San Antonio and Carrizo.

Spring Break 2012

While Mama was home nursing every 3 hours and watching crazy John-John, Alivia and Will got to see Texas with some of the best guides around: Mimi and Grandpa!

My parents planned some serious adventures for the week and Alivia and Will had an absolute blast. It is so fun to see them enjoy being with my parents - I think the feeling was mutual because Mimi and Grandpa remarked that they had a great time as well.

Here was the itinerary for the week:
Sunday - Rodeo/Carnival with Mimi
Monday - to Bertram, spend the night
Tuesday - morning in Bertram, afternoon at Waco Zoo
Wednesday - overnight in San Antonio on the River Walk
Thursday - overnight in Carrizo
Friday - morning in Carrizo, head back to Austin in the afternoon
Saturday - rest and relax in Austin!

Both Alivia and Will said their favorite activity was visiting Carrizo. Riding the ATV and exploring the property sounds really fun. They even found some antlers and saw lots of wildlife.

Alivia was brave enough to try this contraption!
I'm impressed!

All the kids at about 4-5 weeks old

Alivia - I am struck by how much (dark!) hair she had
Will - this picture makes me laugh. . .he was HUGE!
John - seeing this reminds me how he was definitely not sleeping well at this age - notice the double swaddle and numerous pacis around the bed!
Baby Matthew - 4 1/2 weeks


First Smile at 4 1/2 weeks old!






Baby Matthew has actually been smiling for awhile, but this is the first time someone has caught it on film. And he seems to smile much more at everyone else but me. Hmmmm. . . .

Oh, and we all still cannot figure out who the little guy looks like!
