Back in the Groove!

Oh heyyyyyyy!

Remember us??

Yea, we're the people who (apparently) have so much going on that we can only catch you (family, friends, random web-surfers {hi!}) up quarterly/seasonally/tri-monthly (or whatever you want to call it!).

But now...we're back!

Oh yes, for real this time.

Since the thought of writing a looong catch-up post (again) to summarize the past 3 months makes my head hurt, I've decided to break things down into manageable chunks. What that really means, is that I'm making you wait just a bit longer to get the full scoop on the goings-on in the Williams household since September. Sorry!

However, just so you don't leave disappointed, here are some pictures we took this past weekend in Dallas. We set out early Saturday morning for the Dallas Arboretum. In case you're not familiar with the Arboretum, it's the perfect botanical backdrop for pictures...no matter where you take one, they come out amazing!

Anyway, so we arrived at the Arboretum to find that every single person in Dallas (and all surrounding areas) decided to go to the Arboretum that day too! We passed at least three completely full parking lots (darn Chihuly exhibit!) before we came to a sign telling us that we could head to the "overflow" parking area, which was only a zillion (slight exaggeration) stoplights away. The sign went on to further describe that a shuttle bus would truck to us the Arboretum and then back to our car when we were done.

Okay so they want us to drive far, far away, to park our car and get on a bus to drive all the way back so we can look at some plants with the zillions of other people who wanted to do that very same thing?

It was very tempting. For all of 2 seconds.

We ended up walking around the Turtle Creek area near our house and got some pretty cute pictures (without masses of people in the background).


We call this one "Whoa. It's a bear!"
