spring was packed with school and our first go at spring season football! daddy also had a season of rugby so it made our weekends pretty exciting. maximilian you got your first official hair cut. that was adventurous! we enjoyed meet ups with friends that we dont always get to see, which made mama’s heart so happy! we celebrated Easter weekend out in brazos country. samuel received the sacrament of reconciliation for the first time which was so special. we finished up first communion preparation right before the end of the semester. we did a lot of growing and learning. we enjoyed the seasons changing and things warming up 🙂 what a season!

it froze. it snowed. after 2020 i believe anything can really happen. 😬
peppa pig! it’s your favorite and ours too! on your second birthday you got your very own pair of red rain boots to jump in muddy puddles. after the busy holidays we enjoy celebrating you at our home. this year gramps and granny, nana and dana and her family joined us in celebrating the sweet little guy you are.
at two years old you are an adventurous little man. always trying to keep up with the big kids. you still havent had your first official hair cut but its coming soon! you love peppa pig, lightening mcqueen and dinosaurs. you are quite the talker and love music! your current favorite song is mr. blue sky still and you really enjoyed all the christmas music we just had playing. you love chic fi la, chic fi la sauce and any bag of chips. you are also a lover of fruit!
mama and daddy still let you stay up a little later each evening to watch a peppa pig or two together.
we love you so much maximilian augustine! you will
no words can describe this evening. i wish i could have bottled it up for sure. the most beautiful evening for the most beautiful couple i know. cheers to fifty years. and many many more

this christmas was so what we all wanted and needed. we were ready for the end of 2020 and we just wanted so badly to be safe and all together. again God provided. we soaked up every bit of our time together and mama and daddy even were able to get away for our twelfth anniversary!! the christmas season is one of my absolute favorites and as you kids get older it is even more exciting to watch you get excited to decorate and remember traditions from years before. i pray most of all that as you enjoy preparing all the things you also make sure to prepare your heart most of all.
He’s on His way!!

the fall of 2020 took off pretty quickly, like many we were nervous of what was to come but we found the key to enjoying every bit of it. we let go and let God. fear tactics didnt work on us. 🙂 we had a fourth grader, a second grader, a kindergartener and an almost two year old ready to keep each day busy. the kids enjoyed another semester at school, a full season of football and a new year in dance. we enjoyed eating out as a family again and even a few date nights. the boys had a car hotwheels themed birthday with joshua, turning 8,10 and 13! God is so good. He blessed us immensely this fall. xxoo
just what we needed! we got a different cabin than we had before, unexpectedly and it was great as ever. these little ones know how to have fun. maximilian you wanted to keep up so badly and you really did. you are the only one at this age to willingly jump, splash and float along. we enjoyed late nights and eating almost every meal outside. you all make me want to go back again. you’re the best family to vacation with. now we say goodbye to 2020 summer. we definitely made the best of it!
there are no words for this weekend, this couple. we love them so much! the photographers pictures were unbelievable and one day i hope to share them! many blessings for this happy couple!
xxoo
oh my goodness what a day! you made us so proud! you were the best bunny in the show. ❤️
by the end of it all you were done!
for only being in dance for a semester with quarantined video classes and all, you showed us how much you had learned and of course you were very brave to go on stage 🙂
keep on dancing sweet girl!
xxoo
