January
Ben and Will (before or after church).

Will got his first big boy bike.

I love Texas weather.  The boys can play outside year-round, even in January.

February
Ben copies whatever Will does.

Ben's a baller!  He can shoot and score on his little goal.

He's pretty good at swinging a bat, too.

March
Our annual spring break trip to the Dallas Arboretum to see Dallas Blooms.
