Spring Break wasn't much of a break, but it was definitely action-packed. The hi-light was a four-day whirlwind trip to Midland Texas, where we drank lemonade and chased it with cold/cough syrup. Ben had breathing treatments around the clock and we determined that sleep was for the weak. Events included Mr. Gatti's bumper cars, pottery painting, serious furniture moving {Coco's house}, U-Haul rental, more furniture moving {Kate's house}, a quick trip to Toys R Us, Orange Leaf yogurt, and a whole lot of quality time in the car--eighteen hours to be exact--with a puppy in tow.
Speaking of puppies, Coco has two little love-bugs, Annabelle & Emma, both of whom tolerated our Holly quite well. It was fun to see all the Cavaliers together--five in total.

My kids spent as much time as possible out in the West Texas wind, soaking up the sunshine and swinging with Paige. They LOVE their cousin Paige . . . I was horrible about taking pictures, but did get a couple happy shots of them swinging!
I've mentioned my parents moved back . . . West Texas is simply home to them. While it's been hard to see them go, we want happiness for our Big Dad and Kate. Their new home is quite a bit smaller, and the downsize led to "French Country Estate Sale" of sorts. My sister inherited a beautiful provincial buffet a deux corps and a killer chest of drawers. She also snagged a tole tea canister lamp and a pair of candle-lit lanterns. I scored a trestle base kitchen table and a reclaimed wood coffee table from one of my favorite companies, Sarried. There is also a chair & ottoman, a pine console table and a small provincial chest. SO MUCH FUN! I love a silver lining!
I will take more house pictures as soon as we get things squared away . . . Right now it's fruit-basket-turnover at Chez Burkett!
