A Good Subject !!

So I realize it has been almost exactly a month since my last post. Since the days are getting warm and long, Sarah-Grace has that desire to be outside almost every moment she can. We recently bought her a sandbox for the backyard and I took the opportunity to catch her in a few moments of childhood play in the sand and on her swingset. I couldn't think of a more worthy subject to photograph and I am finding that I really like using Aaron's fancy camera and then editing the photos to my liking !! Enjoy !!!

The Start of Springtime Fun !!!

Yesterday was a very warm day here so we broke out the sunscreen, sunglasses, and SG's bathing suit and headed into the backyard for a little water fun !!!

A Very Busy Ffrench Ffamily March !!!

The last half of March has been a complete whirlwind for our family. We started out on the 19th of March with a trip to Baytown, Texas where we met up with Aaron's sister's family from Dallas and had a bit of a Ffrench family reunion with Aaron's Dad, aunts, uncle, and cousins. We celebrated SG's Birthday, her cousin Aubrey's Birthday, and Aaron's Dad's big 60th !!!

From Baytown, SG and I moved on to San Antonio for the week because Aaron had some work to do there and we got to have a little vacation and relaxation in good old Texas. We ate at all our favorite restaurants and I even got to spend a whole day with my sister and her kids. A fun time was had by all !!! I must not forget that we even got to drive through College Station on our way to SA and eat at Freebirds....YUM !!

Upon returning home from Texas, we had little time to get ready for an Easter Egg Hunt and SG's official Birthday party on Saturday March 27th. SG had a great time picking up eggs and putting them in her basket and then later on that day we celebrated her big 2 with a Dora themed party complete with a taco bar and Dora cake !!!!

Whew...and as if that wasn't enough, SG finally turned 2 yesterday !!! I find it so hard to believe that my little baby girl that used to fit in the cradle of my arm is 2, yes 2...well maybe 2 going on 5 !!!

Spring Fever

The words that appear in my new blog banner are an exact reflection of my feelings about the weather. I am so very very tired of the cold, windy, wet, and snowy weather that has plagued us this winter season. It has gotten so old and I am so done with it !! We, or at least I, and ready for Spring around here. So ready to be able to go outside and play everyday without the worry or bother or putting on coats and hats. I think Sarah-Grace is ready too because she loves to be outside. Last week, her little preschool did Spring photos. Despite the fact that it was only 39 degrees outside, I put her in her best Spring attire, sandals and all, and we made the trek up to school for some photos. Here's hoping she will be able to wear clothes like this every day sometime very soon !!!

A Rare Opportunity !!!

On Friday January 15th, which also happened to be my 34th Birthday, Aaron and I had the opportunity to dress up and go to a military ball. This is something we have only had the chance to do two other times in Aaron's military career. It is so fun to see everyone dressed in their best uniforms and dresses !!!! We had a ball !!!

Park City Ski Trip !!!

Over the New Year, Aaron and I and SG took a family ski trip to Park City, Utah. We were joined by my parents, Aaron's sister and brother-in-law, and Aaron's Dad and his wife. It was a lot of people to please on one trip but we had a great time. Park City is a great place and it was the best ski resort we have ever been to. Although SG is still a little too small to ski, she had a wonderful time dressing up in her snowsuit and playing out in the snow !!! Our plan is to take SG back in two years with Aaron's sister's kids so they can all have their first ski experience together !!!

Breakfast with Santa !!!!

This morning we attended the annual Breakfast With Santa event that is put on by the Family Support Group. Last year, Sarah-Grace was one very upset little kid about sitting on Santa's lap. She was just fine until she turned around and realized who was holding her. This year, she didn't look thrilled about sitting on his lap but she didn't cry. Then, she got off of his lap a little too early before Aaron and I could get up there to have a family photo. When she got off his lap they prematurely gave her the gift that they have for each child and she promptly turned around, ran back to Santa and got back on his lap. She is a smart kid after all and probably thought huh if I sit on his lap I get a gift...sweet let's do it again !!! For your entertainment, I am posting last year's photo and this year's photo...what a difference a year makes !!!!
