So today ended up being a great day!

We had a blast down at the Arboretum today.  Thanks to Aunt Missy (my sister, VP of sales at the Dallas Arboretum), we got VIP status down there.  It was just fabulous and Grammy got to adventure down there with us.  Zoe was so cute and loved visiting all the waterfalls, tulips, and gorgeous hills.  She loved getting all around in her chair.  We even brought her "walks" (her AFO braces) and did a little bit of standing on some large stones!

The day did not start off so well as we attempted to get a successful swallow study this morning down at Scottish Rite.  We were there to see what's happening inside of Zoe's throat since her surgery.  We definitely see improvement from the outside - no more choking, no more tearing up when she swallows, improvement in chewing, etc.....To be PC, we were unimpressed with the process this morning.  We have a history with this one lady on staff there who Zoe (actually none of us) can stand.  Zoe was just miserable sitting in that chair waiting to begin the test, and it just got worse after that.  To make a long, horrible story short, we will unfortunately be rescheduling........hopefully somewhere different.  We love Scottish Rite and sing nothing but praises about them; however, our family has a few personality conflicts this particular "team member."  YIKES!

Anyway, needless to say I am loving Spring Break!!!!!!!  Weeks like this one make me want to be a "full-time Mommy," just like all the other working teacher mommies out there.  We are so blessed to have careers that allow us to have these special times with our families.  I will never take that for granted.

I'm off to enjoy pulled-pork tacos on our patio with Jay and Zoe.  Enjoy a few favorite pictures from today!!  It was pretty bright outside, even with all the clouds so she's a little squinty.
