Spring Break
This Spring Break, my parents decided to rent a cabin for our family at Chain of Lakes. It is only about an hour north of Houston, but it feels like you're in a completely different world! Mat and Kyle, my brother-in-law, were not at the cabin at the same time because of work schedules, and we missed having them there together! We did not have a TV, but we did have cell service, electricity, a full kitchen, heating and air conditioning and comfy beds. This "camping" was not at all like Mat used to do, but he enjoyed a few days of relaxation. We spent a lot of time playing games and sitting around and talking. It was nice to have so much time to catch up and enjoy each other.
Each morning we had a horse drawn carriage pick us up for breakfast at the restaurant. :) (Remember, this is not your typical week of "camping")
On Wednesday, we rented canoes. Mat and I were in one canoe, and my mom and Blair were in the other. We had a lot of fun exploring the different lakes and seeing beautiful scenery. It took my mom and sister some time to figure out how to steer the canoe, but they eventually got the hang of it and enjoyed it. We stopped by our cabin and Blair got out so that my dad could spend some time canoeing too. It was a fun afternoon!

We enjoyed a great week of family time! Here are the rest of our pictures.

George
Here are some pictures of George that my friend Megan took for us Superbowl Sunday. He's changed a lot since these pictures were taken! We took him to the vet on Friday, and he already weighs 30 pounds!

Valentines Day
Today was our Valentines Party at school. Lots of sugar and screaming kids makes for a C-R-A-Z-Y time! When I picked my kids up from lunch, one of my parents was heading to the office. She told me the office had called my room and said there was something for me, and she asked if it would be alright if she picked it up for me. When I got to my classroom I had 12 red roses waiting for me from Mat. What a sweet husband I have! Happy Valentines Day!

New Addition to the Family
This weekend, Mat and I were able to drive through Bryan, to pick up the newest member of our family, George. He is a beautiful 2 month old yellow lab puppy. George did great on the car ride and has enjoyed exploring his new home.
I think he is missing his mom and sisters right now (and also reacting to the shot he got this morning) because he has spent a lot of the afternoon sleeping.
Mat and I are both excited to have a dog, but Mat has been talking about it for a long time. After we got married, Mat told me he wanted a house, a dog and a kayak. We're 2 for 3 on his list, but I think it will be a while before he gets that kayak!

Our Weekend
It's been a while since I've posted anything. Mat and I have been busy trying to settle back into normal life after the holidays. We finally have the house back to normal, and I think we're both glad to be back in to our routine. 
We spent this weekend in Houston. It was a busy weekend and we had lots of fun! We got to meet our new niece Cameron Kay Koteras. She made her debut a few weeks early. She spent a few nights in the hospital trying to coordinate her eating and breathing, but she is home now and doing great. She's tiny and big sister Kadence isn't quite sure what to think about it all!
We spent Sunday morning cheering on Marilee and Carrie at the Houston marathon. We had fun chasing them around town and cheering for all of the runners. I think part of Mat wished that he was running with them, but I think that he also enjoyed getting to see the other side of a marathon. We are so proud of them! After the race, we celebrated the girls' accomplishment and Mat's dad's birthday at Lupe Tortilla! Yum!

We left Houston Sunday evening and drove to College Station to pick up a special package...more on that in a later post! It was a wonderful weekend, but it went by WAY to fast!
