first game of the season

a quick visit from Bob, and our first Orioles game of the season...it was mighty cold!

3rd Annual trip to TX!

my yearly visit to see the Borchers crew in Houston this year came in April...and we finally had some warm weather!  I was really excited to see my old roomie, and to see how big Hunter and Haley had gotten in the last year...and they were walking and talking!!

it's always nice to see Liz and the rest of her family, because it's like no time has passed since our last visit...and we even did a family photo shoot in a field of Texas Bluebonnet flowers!  I would love to make the trip more often, and am searching for some shows in that area so I can make some business trips and see some of my favorite little people!

Cherry Blossoms in the springtime

in the last 6 years of living in Maryland, only 30ish miles outside of DC, we have never been to the Cherry Blossom Festival, so this year, B surprised me with a trip down to see the flowers and trees, and be touristy in our neighbor city.  We walked the tidal basin, and even to the monuments and museums- something I hadn't done since our 8th grade class trip!

we took tons of photos, but here are some of my favorites...
