Three Days Till Spring

Spring officially begins on Friday, March 20. It seems like it has already been Spring in Houston for a few weeks now. I really missed not having a very cold Winter but at least it did snow for one day, that was a lot of fun and definitely not expected.

All is well on this side. Sam and I are staying busy with work and trying to figure out what renovations we want to do to the house. We are still waiting on contractors to get to work on our roof and other Ike-related damage. Hopefully they get started on that soon. We are also looking for new flooring since we both hate carpet and carpet is very hard to keep clean when you have 6 cats and a dog.

In addition to work and home duties, we are still working on our diets. I am happy to announce that Sam has lost a total of 30 pounds as of today! I am so proud of him. My weight has plateaued a little so I am trying to stick to the plan until I start losing again. I am sure it will happen, it just can be a little frustrating when you are trying hard and you do not see the scale move. I am working hard on being positive though.

We are taking the next couple of days off work to spend time with Elena and just enjoy a brief break. Work for both of us is a little slow this week since several people are out for Spring Break. We plan to take Elena to the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo tomorrow so she can see all the animals, by far her very favorite activity.

Speaking of Spring, last week Elena and Victoria helped to plant some grass at my parents house. They had a ton of fun, mostly watering the grass. Well in point of fact, they had the most fun watering each other. Here a few cute pictures that Angie took.
