Spring?!! Break

Snow began falling mid-morning on February 27. By noon, the area schools opted for early dismissal. 

 These two look really upset about having to miss their afternoon classes. Not!

We had a Thompson family wedding in Waco to attend, and Liesey's flight from LAX was due in at midnight. This storm was really not very considerate of our travel schedule.

This was the first snowfall of significant accumulation, so I had to go around the yard capturing the winter beauty. This will likely be the last dusting of the season.

A few days later, we got hit again with a little less ice and more snow.

 I like how this picture of the front walkway turned out.

 Icicles of all colors

 As quickly as it came, it all melted.

What a week for "Malibu Lou" to be home on spring break from her classes at Pepperdine. There were two days where we simply could not leave the house. We found plenty of other things to do -- like reading and napping!

Millie and Morgan's respective spring breaks started when Liesey's ended. 

I had to get a picture of my three Smithlings together before the youngest one took off for a week in Branson, Missouri.

Love these three!!!

 This pic pretty much sums up their personalities. Yup.

I think they are saying:
"I am the oldest; I make the rules.
I'm in the middle; I'm the reason we had rules.
I'm the youngest. The rules don't apply to me."

Ha! Ha! Ha!

I saved a Snap Chat from Day One of the Branson-bound road trippers. While they headed east, the middle child got ready to head back west. The oldest one stayed put in the Metroplex for his break. (He worked over his break!)

Our kids may all be going different directions, but they are enjoying the journey. And we are enjoying seeing what's in store for each of them.
