Waxahachie is beautiful- tons of trees and birds. We went to a local park to hike and enjoy the warm weather. It will be nice to be here for the spring.
We spent the first day getting settled into our home. The kids drew pictures for the walls or cut them out of the Friend magazine. We g
ot a couple of cots for the kids to sleep on and bought a couple of chairs so we could eat dinner together. The kids room is small, but their closet is big so we set up Dallin's cot in the closet. Lauren is sleeping downstairs on the couch so she can stay up and read a bit at night. So far so good.
When we checked in the apartment man
ager said, "I hope it gets warm enough to swim before you have to leave." I told her I didn't think I could keep my kids out of the pool. Sure enough Saturday the kids insisted on swimming. The weather was warm but breezy and the pool is not heated, so I decided not to join in. As our neighbors were walking around in jackets and hats my kids were splashing in the swimsuits- warm is a question of perspective.
We were able to watch conference over the internet and
the kids were excited to see that there were three donut shops near our home. Unfortunately when we went to get donuts between sessions we realized they all close at noon, so we had to get donuts from Walmart instead. Luckily we were able to continue the family tradition of "Donut Sunday" for conference on Sunday. Of course conference at 9AM in California was good for breakfast, 10Am in Utah was a stretch for breakfast, b
ut 11AM in Texas is more like lunch :)
