Misc.

Our darling boy went to the doctor yesterday for a physical.  The doctor found nothing wrong with him except that his weight is only in the third percentile.  She was rather concerned, and we're confused about whether we should be.

A friend from church came over last night to help Katie bind the quilt that she started over a year ago.  All of the machine stitching is done, and now all that's left is to hand stitch the back.  While she's sorely tempted to count this project as finished and start a new one, Zephan's one goal in life is to make sure she really finishes it first.  Once it's done, we'll have to post a photo.

Easter

Easter weekend we were busy, busy, busy.  Among other things, we went to an Easter brunch and egg hunt.  And of course, Silas participated to the best of his ability.  We have some ADORABLE pictures of him sitting in the middle of the other kids during the resurrection eggs.  He was a great listener, and never actually got sat on or trampled during the entire presentation.  Here he is huntin' eggs.  He mostly just latched onto the first shiny one he found.  Which, coincidentally, had a Ghirardelli chocolate inside.

We also went to the Botanical Garden in Fort Worth.  Which was free, and very crowded and full of weddings.  Like everyone else there, we took many many pictures.

Feed Store

This morning we took an excursion out to the grand opening of the farmer's market in Grand Prairie.  We bought some homemade tortillas and new potatoes, and are so excited about eating both.  A few weeks ago Zephan bought some new potatoes from the market in Dallas, and we cooked them with fresh rosemary from our new garden. It. was. awesome.

On the way home, we stopped at a nice little local feed store to buy diatomaceous earth (food grade!) and fencing for our peas to climb.  There was no fencing, but we did buy original recipe Dr. Pepper in a glass bottle (made with real sugar, so . . . healthy) and now we know where to buy any kind of pepper plant you could ever want.  And we're thinking about buying some strawberry plants.  Plus Silas got to check out the bunnies and parakeets.

Katie has decided that we definitely need to go back, if only for the Dr. Pepper and the feed store smell.  It reminded her of hanging around the MFA with her Dad and grandma as a kid, which invariably ended in wanting one of those suckers they always had by the cash register in the cool stands.
