March 2007

In early March, Kayci began going to the day school two days a week at the First Methodist church. This was her first day of school, and she was VERY excited. We looked all over for a lunch box for her, but they're pretty hard to come by this time of year. So, she decided that it would be okay to use one of my Superman lunch boxes until we could find her something more ... girly.

She's so excited. Kayci had been asking a lot if I could pick her up from Kindercare in Houston. To do that usually requires me to take off almost a half day of work, so we've only done that a couple of times.

I was excited, too. See, when we lived in Houston and Kristi was teaching I used to take Kayci to day care every day. I would wake her up in the morning, bathe her and get her dressed. Then we would drive to day care, usually singing the whole way. It was the highlight of my day every day. The three minute trek to the day school wouldn't be quite the same, but it was just a little taste of that Daddy/Kayci time that I missed ever since.

 

Spring time in Brenham is simply beautiful. There are flowers literally popping up everywhere and everything is lush and green. This year was an extraordinary year for bluebonnets, partly because we got a lot of good rain early in the spring and partly because we had some really good freezing weather this winter.

Kayci had a lot of fun in the bluebonnets. It's funny - now that we live in Brenham, this is the only year that we didn't actually get our family photo in the bluebonnets. There were several circumstances that just always seemed to pop up. On weekend, though, Jhido came up for an afternoon to see the bluebonnets and we did get some good photos of Kayci in them.

I like this photo because of that little devlish grin and because it's a candid shot. It also reminds me of some photos we took of Kayci sitting in a field of wildflowers when she was about 8 months old. To this day, those are still some of my favorite photos of her.

This is a photo Kayci took of her new shoes. It speaks for itself.
March 19 is Daddy's birthday, so he took the day off and our little family went to the Natural History Museum in Houston. First, we went to the butterfly exhibit, where Kayci saw thousands of butterflies flying around her in a simluated tropical rainforest.
We had a lot of fun at the museum. As we we were leaving, Kayci enjoyed playing outside near a pool of water. This is her laughing and being silly. I think we had just told her that she wasn't actually the boss in our house. She obviously knew better.
This is when we rode the train, as we always do when we go to the zoo. She was a little ticked off here because they told her they couldn't drive the train. She showed them, though. As soon as we got off the train, she ran through a flock of pigeons, making them fly over the train and poop all over the conductor.
