Family and Flowers | 4.8.2018

I always try to get away to my sister’s house in the spring, especially to see the poppies put on their annual show. We made it in time this year despite being sick for a week before we left. It was a lovely break and the boys and I both really enjoyed visiting the San Antonio Botanical Gardens.

These flowers are the product of my sister’s handiwork. She and Matt have been working hard on their property to create a beautiful and natural meadow like setting. 

I had visited the gardens last year but they have done extensive renovations since then and it’s just gorgeous. The kids really loved the Family Adventure Garden. We are already talking about our next visit.

Cousin Camp | Castroville

A few days with the cousins was in order before we began our new “school” routine. It was a great time and the kids, of course, had a blast being together. I love that we can make these memories with them.

Adriana and I called it “day care” and we were thankful Grandma was there in the craziness with us too.

Here’s to many more cousin camps!

Thanksgiving 2015 in Castroville

This year we spent Thanksgiving at my sister’s new house in Castroville. William and I went down the day before and then James and Lucas followed the day of. It worked out great for the kiddos to have more play time together. Love cousin time!

Mom and I made a simple feast that was just the right amount of food. We had a pretty relaxed day. I didn’t even do a tablescape! ha! It was perfect, just spending time together, holding the newest niece and watching the kids have fun. Adriana made a delicious pumpkin pie! I could go for a slice right now….
