The Dallas Arboretum plants over 500,000 spring bulbs each year in preparation for the Blooms event and the display is amazing. Here are just a few of my favorite photos from our day.
Dallas Blooms 2014
Easter 2014
This Easter I have the same message as I did the last – in fact the only thing different is that last Easter we didn’t have a clue we would be adding another child to our family 🙂
Easter is the most important holiday even though it has been covered over via bunnies, eggs and chocolate. It’s about the most amazing thing ever done in the history of the world. The horror of the crucifixion has past and Jesus rose from the dead fulfilling all of God’s promises from the Old Testament. It’s a gift for all – freely given if you only believe.
Romans 15:13 “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”
Joy to the World, He is Risen.
Dallas Arboretum – March 28, 2014
While the Petermans were here the Dallas Blooms event was going on so we made plans to see the flowers and attempt photos with the kids. First off, the flowers were amazing and I loved the tulips so much!!!! I am going to do a separate post just to put the flower photos in because they are so pretty. Dani was so upset at any movement towards group photos and pretty much stayed cranky the entire day, but we just rolled her along in the wagon and continued on our way.
And now for my favorite photo of the day – Mike and Randy. After all the flowers and girly stuff they did this for me. Total awesomeness!
The Peterman’s Visit Again!
Randy, Jessica, Abby and Evelyn came to visit us again in March!! It worked out that we were home a bit before their Spring Break so they drove down to see us and meet Dani. They also saw some of Jess’s family and had good friends come up to Fort Worth from Austin. I think it was a great week for them and we certainly loved having them here. The bulk of the time was spent visiting, watching Dani and deciding what to eat 😉
The four big girls had a blast together like they always do, and we basically didn’t see them for five days. One day Jess and I went to Grapevine Mills mall with Abby and Dani while the middle girls all played at home with the dads. We hit the usual stops when Jess comes to town: the Children’s Place Outlet, the gelato place and Auntie Annies pretzels. And because we had Dani in the stroller having a great time we actually made the entire circuit of the mall.
One night we went to Laura’s house for a girls night “Frozen” sing-along and we had so much fun!!! My girls are still talking about it almost a month later.
We went to Chuy’s to celebrate Jess’s birthday a few days early, since they would be driving home that day. We also went to Freebirds, and tried out the burgers at Rodeo Goat. Another day we went to the Dallas Arboretum to see all the spring blooms and take photos, but that will be its own blog post.
Rodeo Goat.
Come back anytime, Peterman family!
