Texas

The weekend after Christmas we joined the kids for weekend of camping at the Jim Hogg Park on Lake Georgetown. The weather was gorgeous. It was a lot of fun.

Christmas 2024 was a year of new experiences. It was our first time to celebrate Christmas in our new house and all of our kids celebrated Christmas Day at their in-law's. We had the pleasure of hosting the family the Saturday before Christmas, which fell on a Wednesday. On Christmas Day, Dale and I celebrated with our family at Tom and Susan Matthew's home. Tom and Susan are my daughter-in-law's parents. They are so welcoming to us.

Summers Mill Conference Center just outside of Salado is a wonderful place to rest and enjoy God's creation. Dale and I spent just one night there recently. I was recovering from the flu so we took it easy. We really enjoyed it.

Dale and I spent a day on some of the best Central Texas highways to see wild flowers. We were not disappointed.

Total eclipse was witnessed across Central Texas. Dale and I joined our family-in-law at their lake house near Belton. It was a lot of fun!

I accidentally made camping reservations for Easter weekend. I didn't realize it was in March! We camped at Jim Hogg Park on Lake Georgetown. We enjoyed a hike and a special Easter breakfast and devotional time.

The end of 2023 came and went so quickly! After getting home from traveling, we bought a house and visited with family. We celebrating Dale's parents' 60th anniversary, as well as Thanksgiving at the Matthews and Christmas at the Rusks!

The Ream and Sharrick Families, and friends, kicked off the wedding weekend with rehearsal dinner at Treaty Oaks Distillery in Dripping Springs. The Sharricks did a fantastic job planning and hosting the event. It was such fun. It was the perfect appetizer to get us through to the big celebration to come the following day.

Jordan and Jackson tied the knot on April 15! It was a perfectly lovely celebration. Thank you Lord for your blessings! Enjoy these photos while we wait for all of the professional photos.

Easter is a wonderful celebration of our Lord’s death and resurrection. Being with family during this time is an extra special blessing!

Central Texas in Spring is a great time to go camping. These photos are two different camping trips that took place two weeks apart. The first one in mid-March was chilly! The second one the end of March was warm. The kids and us all had camping gear we wanted to give a trial run. We all had fun on both trips. Some friends and family came out to visit the second trip.

Spring of 2023 is all things wedding! Tax day for us is wedding day. We are so thankful that all three of our children have (or will have very soon) loving, godly spouses.

We have four months to prepare for a wedding and for the next leg of our adventure. Here are some pics of our time at home.

After spending a couple of nights with my brother in Rusk County, we headed to Argyle to spend Thanksgiving with our kids and grandchildren.

It's been a busy month as we move from our home of 20 years and also celebrate Mother's Day!

It was truly a wonderful time of the year!

D and A got married October 16, 2021 and it was a beautiful day in every way. God is so gracious.

The house was full of family and fun, which is the best way to spend an evening. We celebrated J.'s 27th birthday.

It was a really enjoyable weekend as we celebrated A with a bridal shower. It was a beautiful day and quite a few joined us. A. did a great job taking photos.

We had a lot of fun spending a week in North Texas with the kids.
