Today while I was pulling the car into the garage, I slightly tapped the side mirror along Mike's workshop (don't worry, no damage) but I cringed as I did it.
Mikaela asks, "Mommy, car hurt?"
"Just a little. It's okay."
"You kiss it, Mommy."

Spring Break
For Spring Break last week, we went to Kerrville, TX and the surrounding Hill Country. Mike's folks and an aunt and uncle live there. We had a nice relaxing visit with them and enjoyed the scenery. Mike's uncle has become quite the photographer so Mike took several of these shots with a more "photographer's eye" as he is trying to develop it.

The week before Spring Break, Mike had the opportunity to go to Kerrville and work at the Texas Lions Camp helping build the pavilion you see pictured below. He had a great experience and it was neat to see the (almost) finished product. Rain at the end of the week stopped the guys a little early.
Much of our time was spent relaxing with Gran & Papa Bill, watching Mikaela play. The weather was beautiful so we spend many hours outdoors.

The Color Run
Two weeks ago, Mike and I participated in The Color Run which benefits the American Heart Association. If you've ever run in a 5K - this is unlike any other. You are to start the race clean, wearing a white shirt. At every kilometer you are "showered" with color (which is some cornstarch color mixture). At the conclusion of the race there is a "Color Explosion" to celebrate a job well done. The pictures explain it all.
Before the run.... and the mess...

Here are several shots of the Color Explosion. Each runner is given an additional packet of color to toss at the end of the race. A big mess, but pretty to watch.
