Spring in Austin

After a very brief winter, but one that included an ice storm that shut down the city for three days, Spring has arrived in Austin. The leaves are coming out and the grass is a beautiful shade of yellow green. We've made our first trip to Barton Springs sans swimming. Mom has bought a bike and a trailer with every intention to pedal to the pools, music class and playgroups this season. The trailer is still on order but the helmets have been purchased. Santiago sports his helmet decorated with racing flames proudly.


Transportation still holds great interest for Santiago. He loves to ride the miniture train in Zilker Park. He is thrilled when he sees a train running down the neutral ground on Mo-Pac (a hightway we find ourselves on often). He loves to play with his trains. (Thanks Francis and Leo!) The garbage truck will stop all activity at his playgroup with Asa, Aman, Jacob & Sam. The five boys will run to the window and press their noses again the glass.


Here are some good Spring photos of Santiago's world. The Kite Festival...riding the tractor with Grandad...planting radishes at Grandmom's house. Happy Spring everyone.
