My hubby took the girls and I to Houston for spring break, while our boys and the dog went to the grandparents in Missouri. We all met up in Missouri on Monday for a few days before coming back home to Iowa. It has been nice to have a casual schedule and spend more time together this week.
We went to Houston to visit Byron's wonderful aunt. She opens her home to us and treats us like royalty. It is so fun to spend time with the Texas relatives that we barely ever see.
(Byron also has three first cousins and their families in Houston.)
The girls had a lot of opportunities to wear their gorgeous boots:
Beach day in Galveston:
toes in the water:
(the gulf water was cold)
I loved wearing flip flops every day!

Besides enjoying spring break, this week marked one year of this little family living in Iowa.
We are so proud of this young mama and her hard work and dedication. She has completely changed their lives! They moved into our home last year in March and had never lived off of the Rosebud Indian Reservation. Now she has a CNA certificate, a full-time job with benefits, her own apartment, a vehicle, and daycare for her kids. I love seeing the smiles on their faces and knowing that the "fresh start" they were seeking has been a success! Praise God for answered prayers. I am so grateful for all He has taught me about Himself through Rosebud kids. :)
play-do fun:
As we say goodbye to March in the next week, let's hope the snow and wind and cloudy days are behind us! I am ready for spring! (Ironic that it is snowing as I am typing.)
