The Dallas Arboretum

On Wednesday Rich had the day off so we decided to go check out the Dallas Arboretum. It was a beautiful sunny day. We loved going in the middle of a week day since we basically had the whole place to ourselves. Maza loved exploring.






A beautiful Texas sunset.

"Snow" in Texas

I don't think we can technically call it snow, but we did receive about 4 inches of sleet and it sure did look pretty outside. Maza was so excited and had plenty of fun outside anyways. Basically everything and everyone shut down for the day. Rich didn't have to go to work and we enjoyed a lazy day at home.





The place we call home

Crazy to believe we've been in Texas almost three months. It's been a lovely fall. We love our new home here. We live in a community called Savannah, about 40 miles north of Dallas.  Thanks to visits from both my mom &Rich's mom, I have decorations hung up and pillows on my couch. :)We've loved having a few visitors already, but for most of you who haven't seen the house yet here is a little tour:
