January


 It is 2015!  And I didn't take very many pictures this month.  We enjoyed the rest of our winter break.  The day before going back to school (for which we leave the house at 7:05am) this was Gloria at 9:30am.  I was afraid it was going to be a rough transition but they both hit the ground running and ready for another semester at school.
 One weekend morning it was frosty and Lydia enjoyed playing in it.

We also had two fun events at which I didn't take any good pictures.  1-a super fun playdate on MLK day Monday.  We invited both of Lydia & Gloria's classmates and about 15 kids came.  They had a wonderful time playing.  We jumped in leaves, played on the swings, with Legos.  Gloria had been obsessing about having a school friend party here and it turned out really well.
2-we hosted some Global Austin international visitors.  In the past we have had most students or young professionals.  This was a legal group.  We hosted a State Department interpreter, human rights lawyer from Syria, Judge from Tunisia and female lawyer from Saudi Arabia.  We had a very nice fish fry and discussion.
 Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center Tree day.  We dressed for the coolness and enjoyed the day running into tons of friends.  They climbed...

 swung, and enjoyed the family gardens.
Caleb ran his first half marathon in Austin to the Capital.  Great job, we'll see what races he does next.
