Is it really March already?





Yes, indeed. Spring is already upon us, and the Houston climate leaves no doubt about it. Despite my yearning for a four-season year, I have to admit how wonderful it is to have so many days suitable for playing outside.


We took advantage of a recent beautiful Saturday by taking the boys to the Houston Zoo. It's not the most impressive zoo, but it's just the right size to spend a couple of hours with two small boys. The petting area was full of goats, chickens, and llama. Cayden was facinated, but Corban was a little freaked out. Of course, he is much too full of four year old male machismo to have admitted this. He just kept refusing to go in the pen with the animals, saying, "I just don't like goats. They smell gross." Maybe we'll have better luck at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo this weekend! Speaking of, it's time for new cowboy boots...

We continue to be in our little temporary rent house just north of the city limits. We're on the lookout for a larger place much closer to all the conveniences and entertainments of The Woodlands. Corban keeps saying, "Mommy, when are we going to move to a house with stairs?" He loved living in our two-story house in San Antonio. In his prayers at night, he rarely forgets to add, "...and please Jesus, help us find a new house. Amen."

Cayden is coming along with his new-found walking skills. He'll walk several steps, plop down on his bottom and then applaud himself. Sometimes he'll stand up and sit down repeatedly while chanting, "Up, down, up, down." It's hilarious.

Jonathan and I are very excited about our 10 year anniversary coming up in May. We've booked a honeymoon suite for a week at Le Blanc Spa Resort in Cancun. Check it out! www.leblancsparesort.com I cannot believe how quickly ten years goes by. Am I really 31? Wow.

Sorry it's been so long since my last update! I promise you'll hear from us more often from now on!

Love,
The Texas Travises
