Baseball Season

It's baseball season and we had our first practice.

Doh, where'd it go?

Work for it...

Good recovery.

Throw it in! Follow it through!

Look at 'er go! Nice one!



Eatin' sunflower seeds.

With a little bit of hand...

Always keep your eye on the ball! And be as cute as possible.

Easter Catch-up

We had a very small Easter gathering this year. Sadly, there is a family feud that has interrupted larger holiday gatherings, but Stella still had a very nice first Easter.

Waiting for company to arrive.

Still waiting (they got held up)...

I adopted the German Easter tradition of hanging egg ornaments (these are chocolate).

Stella's first Easter basket. The stuffed animals were ones my mom was keeping for her before she passed.

Lavender champagne and lavender iced tea...yum.

Part of the spread (minus the strata and bacon - "bacon's good").

Lemon blueberry bundt cake from scratch.

Goodies from our favorite local bakery, Quack's.

She had a nice Easter with Grandma and Grandpa Fahrenthold.

And a few days later was visited by a giant bunny from Nana.

Flowers

Spring in Austin is truly amazing, especially when there isn't a drought. We love our bluebonnets here in Texas...

Where's Baby Girl?

With Stella's little buddy, Cecilia.

Play nice, girls...

And I just have to end with the trip on our new light rail in Austin...

...because of this picture.

And because the flowers are amazing there, too.
