There is a local priest missing from his home in Nuevo Laredo. Fr. Jesse Euresti from Cristo Rey was found missing and the house in a state that officials think he may have been murdered.
Please keep him and his family and parish in your prayers.
So, these are totally late but better late than never, right?
Adam’s youngest sister, Mary, came down to Austin from Indiana for her spring break this year. It was so fun to have her here and the kids of course love any extra person they can play tickle monster with! Since it was her spring break, we wanted to take her somewhere at least. She requested San Antonio as she is totally in love with the Riverwalk and wants to move there sometime after she graduates from Purdue. So we took her there and we went to Marbel Falls to Sweet Berry Farm for our annual berry picking.
The troops sporting their berries. And Fulton and Gianna are wearing some nice shade hats their other aunt, Diana, gave them just for our treks to the berry farm.
Adam took the day off for our trip to SA.
The kids with the Komodo Dragon statue.
Muffin really loved the monkeys. There was one that was doing all kinds of stunts that we watched while the other kids were at the Butterfly exhibit with Dad and Aunt Mary.
My FAVORITE picture!
That’s my sister Diana on the right. She’s worked at the SA Zoo for over 20 years (since she was in college). She’s awesome! Not only does she get us in for free under her membership, but on the crazy day during spring break, she gets us through the EXPRESS entrance to avoid the mile long line outside and then gives us our own private tour of the zoo! Thanks Di!
Then we finally made it to the Riverwalk…couldn’t pass up a photo op with St. Anthony!
The day was perfect for an ice cream treat courtesy of Tia Maria–and thankfully is was St. Patrick’s day and the kids got to enjoy it! (Since they are Irish, we lift all their Lenten fasts on that day!)
