Weather, Weather and More Weather

WOW! Texas weather is CRAZY!!! If you live here, this will just be a re-cap of what you have already experienced but if you don't, read and marvel at the craziness of our Texas weather in March. Last Sunday was warm and then the thunderstorms (very loud ones) blew through ALL NIGHT LONG! Wayne was out of town so it was just Kelsie, Raider and me. We were awakened quite a few times either by hard rain and thunder or by Raider growling and barking at the strange noises. He was really freaking out and if it hadn't been between 1 and 3 a.m., it would have been funny. Anyway, Monday was cooler and by Monday night it was snowing! Not a big snow, just a dusting but enough that Kelsie was out in her pjs and robe with gloves scooping snow off the slide to make a big snow ball. Raider was so cute going outside and coming in with a dusting of snow all over him - he wasn't sure what to do with it. By Tuesday we were back in the 50s again and to Kelsie's disappointment, no school delay. Wayne came back home on Tuesday night disappointed that he missed all the snow excitement. But wait - Thursday it snowed again. Denton (north of us) got quite a lot of snow, we really got mostly sleet with another slight dusting of snow. Not a MAJOR event but enough to give us a taste of winter in Texas. Kelsie had enough this time to build a little snowman and Raider had learned by now that it's wet and cold and wanted nothing to do with going out. We did put his little sweater on him - so cute.

In other news, Wayne's dad had heart surgery last week. He is doing great. The day after surgery he went to get a haircut and out to eat before going home. Also, my brother in law's family has also had some bad medical news. His neice (18 months old) was taken to the doc in San Angelo for high fever which they thought was the flu and when they tested her, she was diagnosed with leukemia. They transported her up here to Cook Children's. She has a good prognosis but a long road of recovery. Pray for this family as they go through the next 6 weeks of treatment living here and that baby Ally would respond to chemo well.

We are all looking forward to Spring Break. We don't have big travel plans but we do have plans to have fun doing things around here. Kelsie is saving her money to visit the American Girl store in Dallas. Tomorrow we are going to the Ft. Worth Botanical Butterflies in the Garden. I am really looking forward to it - we loved it when we went last time. I will try to update sooner next time and maybe with pics.......have a good weekend.
