Staycation

For 4th of July we decided to have a staycation and visit San Antonio instead of traveling to the beach in Florida. Mommy isn't really quite ready to take on traveling that far with 2 small children. I read a story not too long ago about how a "vacation" is sipping cocktails with no schedule in sight contrary to a "trip" traveling with small children. Let's face it traveling with kids is hard on us and a lot of extra work. This was a great trip and we're thankful Daddy got to get away from work even if it was for a few days. We stayed at the Westin La Cantera and they sure know how to keep children happy and entertained. Enjoy some pics below!

Our Tiny Dancer

Our sweet Emerson started ballet in August and finished her first year with her recital this June. She loves ballet and to quote her she "was the best recital-er". She had an award ceremony on Monday night followed by two rehearsals on Wednesday and Thursday. Her recital debut was Friday at 7:00 with a repeat performance Saturday night. My stomach was in knots watching her on that stage in front of a FULL auditorium with hundreds of people. She did FANTASTIC and we could not have been prouder.

 

What a difference 9 months makes...

HE HAS RISEN!!!

Emerson is 3.5 and really understood the meaning of Easter this year.  She explained to me "Jesus died on the cross then he came back to life on Easter." I could not be more proud of the person she is and becoming each day. Emerson attends preschool at our church First United Methodist. She learns about God and his word each week during chapel. We hope as a family to nurture her relationship with God and help all of us become the children he wants us to be. We had a great Easter with church, egg hunt, followed by lunch, and the movie Brave.

Now pictures from her hunt at school....
