Recent pictures of Lillia

Our goddaughter, Lillia, is such a special part of our lives. Here are a few pictures of her that were taken recently. One of my favorite pictures is the one that shows the outfit Lillia wore on the day she got to dress herself. I bet you can figure out which picture it is -- she's so cute!

Snowflakes

Today it snowed in parts of Houston although it didn't snow in Pearland where we live. I most definitely live in the wrong city because I totally love it when the weather is cold, snowy, gray and/or rainy. I feel invigorated when it's colder outside. Because I didn't have any snowflakes to take pictures of today, I decided to find and post some snowflake images to inspire me.

Miss M and Charlie in the snow

Here are a few recent pictures of our niece, Miss M, and our nephew, Charlie, in the snow. Aren't they cute?!?!? Virginia has had a bit more snow than Austin but they both look like they are having fun playing.
