Major Briggs and Ol' Man Winter- 2011

As you can tell...this was last year when we had all the snow. Me and Kate took Major for a walk in his new snow gear. How cute is this?! Love you Major Briggs. Your booties keep your feet nice and warm and dry!

Sweet Little Major Briggs loves his tummy scratched....

He's just too adorable for words! Nice work Kate! XOXO Mr. Major!

So I spent the day in my chair on the deck reading...

Then after dinner Rick and I decided to go for a spin on the beach! 

They have 20+ miles of beach you can drive on! 

We just went for a short one since it was our first time I was a bit nervous about getting stuck!

It was no problem and we had fun! 

We drove around to the other side of the lagoon and snapped a picture of the condo we're staying in. 

You can see the yellow chair I was sitting in earlier in the day! It's so calm and peaceful here! We're loving it!

God Is Here...

He whispered in my ear today...and I heard.

Today is a Beautiful Day!

Today is such a beautiful day! It's cold and blustery here but after the skies cleared a bit Rick and I decided we should go for a walk on the beach anyway. I'm so glad we did! Not only was the ocean beautiful but we got to see dolphins swimming out just a little ways from the shoreline!! On our way back to our condo, right out in front of our driveway, there were 5 of the largest raptors soaring about 30-40 feet above my head. I was hoping they weren't looking at me like I was dinner! I just stood there and watched them soar. My heart is full...it's just such a beautiful day! :)

Bless All the Little Birdies....

Lilly loves to sit by the window and watch the ducks in the lagoon. There are so many birds she'd love to have for lunch!

Beautiful silhouette Rick took. I love the reflection in the water!

 Gotta quench my thirst with my 2 mile walk on the beach...

 Really big jellyfish we found on the beach! There are smaller blue ones too! Amazingly creepy!

Surfers in the cold water. Some of them had wet suits!

I saw this bird yesterday morning right outside our condo off the deck! It's pink and white with a wide long bill. I didn't know what kind of bird it was so I "Googled" it-gotta love the google! It came up with a Roseate Spoonbill! this is a unique bird to Texas, I believe. It was so beautiful and stayed around all morning! We see different varieties of birds every day! It's always something new! I love this place!!
