Spring Wildflowers

We have the most beautiful wildflowers here in Texas. The City of Richardson has a festival ever year in May called Wildflower Festival when the flowers are in abundance. Since Ed works for the city he knew the flowers at City Hall were in full bloom. This weekend we decided to do the typical parental task here in Texas, take pictures of the little ones playing in the flowers. It took Tressa a little bit to warm up to the idea, mainly because she had fallen asleep in the car on the way. But eventually she decided it was ok to play in and pick the flowers.

Tressa's Baptism

Tressa was baptized on April 29th. Ed had picked out her dress when we were in China just for this occasion. The dress fit perfectly and she looked even more beautiful than I had imagined. Usually Tressa goes to Sunday school after Children's Service, but since Ed and I were joining the church and having her baptized she had to stay a little longer. She was very well behaved and sat in Mommy's lap until everything was finished so she could go to class.

Easter '06 and '07

What a difference a year makes!!! Last year it was a beautiful sunny day, this year was extremely cold and windy. Tressa still enjoyed herself.

Easter and more egg hunts

Well Tressa definitely had her fair share of Easter Eggs this year. She went on 4 different egg hunts- school, church, neighborhood center, and Easter Sunday. She might be off her sugar high by the time Easter comes next year. Tressa sure changed from last year when she really wasn't sure what to do, to this year trying to grab all she could get. And by the time Easter came she had no doubt and no hesitation about grabbing the goodies and finding what surprise she had waiting for her.
