FUn in the Park

We had a lovely visit from Gema and Grandpa and were able to celebrate Tyler's 3rd birthday with them at a local playground. As you can see here, everyone got in on the fun!

The Piesman Boys Catch the Snake

We triumphed in the end and caught that snake, we let it out in the garden and that was the last we heard...at least for now.

The Swimming Snake

I looked up the snake in our Texas Reptile book and it appears to be a Texas Brown Snake, non-venomous, and about 12 inches in length, phew!

Snake Week in San Antonio

First Mike saw a coral snake during one of his long runs. For those of you not from here, these are very dangerous and can be lethal. The next incident was in the pool when I reached in to clean the filter basket of leaves and a squirming snake took off for a swim in the pool. Of course, Sam and Tyler were thrilled, you can see Sam trying to touch it in the pool skimmer. Rest assured, the pool has been thoroughly cleaned, so come swimming anytime.

Birthday Party at the Kiddie Park

We celebrated Lauren Met's 4th Birthday party at the Kiddie Park on Broadway. The boys enjoyed piloting a plane, riding on the carousel and being the captains of their boats.

Family Shots

Finally we had some folks take our picture as a family and it was so wonderful to be back together again. Mike planned an amazing trip to Utah and we will definitely be back skiing.

Ski Outfits

Thankfully, we have some good friends here who own a sporting goods store. They lent us some great outfits for the boys who looked very sharp. So here is the plug, if you need any sporting goods in San Antonio...head to Good Sports.
