Milestone - one year in Texas

Yes we have been in Texas one year already. It certainly has been a year full of change for our family. In fact, Emma just pointed out one to me the other day. She said "Mom, are you going to keep saying 'yall'?" I laughed and said yes! It is much more efficient than typing or saying 'you all'. And with 3 munchkins to keep up with, any efficiency is a plus!


Amazing that March is over tomorrow. Sam will be 8 months old on April 4th. Same day that Grandma Bromm will be celebrating her 70th birthday day!


Spring break was low key. We did get to the Ft. Worth zoo, on what was most likely the busiest day of the year. Fortunately, we got there early and it was beautiful weather. Also, Steve bought fishing poles for the girls and took them fishing. First time for Norah! Norah caught 4 fish and Emma 8. Emma mastered the skill of putting the worm on the hook and taking the fish off with her bare hands. Pretty fun stuff!


Steve's sister, Deb, came for a visit in early March. What a fun visit for all of us. The girls had an absolute blast with Aunt Deb.

Emma started orthodontic work in early March. She has an expander and is a trooper, even when needing the expander reset after it came loose last weekend. Already we can see how it is making room for her teeth to come in.

Sam @ almost 8 months.


Cool little man!

April is likely to go by as quickly as March did. We are looking forward to hosting our lifegroup at our house this Saturday. We continue to be so blessed by the teaching and people of Bent Tree Bible Fellowship.


Planning to have our very first (and possibly last!!) garage sale. I have always said I would not do a garage sale, but will do it this time as a fundraiser for the kids @ Dada's house in Haiti!


Sam is being dedicated @ Bent Tree. What a great time for our family to celebrate God bringing him into our family and our commitment to teach him about Jesus.


In the middle of April, we will have family here - Ann and Madeline are coming. We are so excited about that visit!


And then it is Easter, so thankful to remember and celebrate the new life we have because of the free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. Praise God this amazing free gift is available to every person in every nation.
