I need to get some pictures of all the new and fun things we have been doing since our move to Austin, but I just can't seem to find the time anymore. Some how things just keep getting busier the older the kids get. However, I can never resist posting farm pictures...

The kids had this whole week off from school and activities so we took advantage and made a trip up to the farm last weekend. We left the house at 4:30 am on Friday morning to make it to the farm in time for Ben to have a full work day. The kids did great and were excited about riding in the car in their pajamas. It was a very cold weekend but we had a blast nonetheless. The kids and Mella love running free and riding in the farm vehicles. My family recently purchased a new tractor and it has been given the name "Big Orange". It is not the first tractor on the farm but it is the first one with a cab and the kids loved it. Especially Mark. I think he could lift the front loader up and down all day long. The kids also really enjoyed spending time with Mimi, Grandy, Will, Jim, Becky and Amma. Lots of family! Ben had to fly out of the Shreveport airport on Sunday for work meetings in California. Thank you to Ben for being such a trooper -it was a ton of traveling for him for one weekend! The kids and I made the trek home on Monday. The trip from Austin to the farm is longer than the trip from Houston but it was still well worth it. Here are some pictures as well as a video of Mark and Big Orange.
