Recent Happenings

Shoot...another 3.5 weeks gone by without a blog post. I'm not doing so well with recent postings!

Since I last posted, we had a wonderful visit from David's mother and her boyfriend. They live in Moab, Utah and while they have made several trips to Texas to see family, they haven't been to Dallas to see how we live our lives...or where we live our lives!! So it was an extra special treat that they came to town for this purpose.

David's mom got us a pasta making machine for Christmas so we had a pasta making class...of course! We made gnocchi, tagliolini and ravioli pasta. It was so YUMMY!

Kristie making gnocchi!

They were here the weekend after the George W. Bush library opened so we went to see that...of course!

And my mother-in-law was a Science teacher for years so we went to the Perot Museum...of course!

Tony and David about to race a T-Rex at Perot.

And my mother-in-law's favorite musician, Jimmy Buffett happened to be in town that weekend so we went to the concert...of course!

Other fun things were: taking them to our church, introducing them to our sweet friends, had a dinner with my parents, rented a boat and got on the water and played ping pong at Klyde Warren Park.

It was one of the best weekends ever!

This past holiday weekend we packed it in full....David ran in a Race trying to raise awareness of Melanoma in Ft. Worth.

We went to the Colonial PGA Tournament and had Joe T's.

We celebrated our dear friends, Daryn and Matt's recent nuptials in Paris, France over a dinner reception at La Calle Doce.

We met up with my friend Maggie and her hubby, Kosta who were in town from Kansas City.

With Maggie, Karah and her daughter Londyn.

We went to the Farmers Market for the first time and my mom helped us plant flowers in all our pots.

Love my hydrangeas and Layla's photo bomb.

I will leave you with a funny story...we were standing at the nursery looking at flowers and I said "I really wished I had a long, rectangular flower box to fit this awkward spot on our front porch."  I was about to go look at the pots and David goes, "if you're just wanting a wooden box I can build you one." Oh ya! I forget I have such a handy husband! So we went home and he whipped up this flower box in a couple hours. :)
