weekend well spent

after being cooped up indoors thanks to the layers of ice and snow we were blanketed with, the four of us spent a long weekend in austin and san antonio ... we were able to visit with karla, albert & chula ... also took the kids to the capital building and played at the park ... then traveled to san antonio to see mom, jere & grandma ... did some shopping, lots of eating and managed to make time for a movie ... much needed family fun time.

iced in

brrr ... we are on day 3 of "house arrest" due to a sheet of ice covering the area ... on the bright side i've had some time to work on my photography website ... i'm really hoping the kids go back to school tomorrow ... they have just about worn out the wii and are driving each other and me CRAZY!!

the picture below was taken 8 years ago this week ... i love the vintage look to it but i'm so gratefully i have a better camera now. :)
