last weekend...

Sorry for the long delay in posting. I've had some technical difficulties with the computer - I'm afraid we're going to need a new one before long. It's super slow and very frustrating to work with. Although, Hubs has been putting some great time and effort into making it work better - Thank you Sweetie!

Here is an update of last weekend:

• We bought a second car! Yippee!
• We took a drive and discovered that one of the inlets of a nearby lake is just 20 minutes from our house. Complete with camp ground, picnic area and boat dock! Living by the water is going to take this Colorado girl some getting use to. I couldn't believe it as we sat there and watched two boats take off.

I had more pictures to post - but this is all my slow computer would allow. Oh well, you get the idea. Isn't it beautiful? Come visit any time from now until fall and we can rent a boat and play in the water! Hubs is going to go within the next couple of weeks and scout out boat rental and the lake. I'm not too comfortable piling a pregnant lady and a toddler into a boat for two plus hours when none of us have any boating experience at all! But it is something we would like to eventually do as a family.

• I went to blow bubbles for Little One and discovered a lizard had crawled into our bubble bucket. I have never done well with creepy crawly things, and didn't do well at all when I poked the bubble wand into the bucket and felt something hard. I peered into the little holes of the bubble container and could see portions of green reptile arms, a tail and an eye. I was left to my imagination what it was - and did a "oh my goodness I am so grossed out and that thing might come out and get me" dance in the back yard. Little One thought I was playing a new game a cracked up at my reaction. I did this same dance when I walked out of my bedroom and saw a huge winged bug creature flying around and then landed at my feet. I have no idea what kind of bug this was - but you could hear the wings flutter and it looked like a cross between a mosquito and a ??? I have no idea. Yuck! I like the warmth of Texas, however, I do not like the bugs and creatures that seem to abound. And this is only March!
