Texas Overview

We made it home! Wow… What a great trip to Texas. But we are glad to be home. There are so many things that we did while we were in Texas I will recap some highlights here.


Christmas was great. Unfortunately, everyone was sick. We decided to just have not to have the annual party at the house because of the kids and because we were all sick. Besides all the sickly people in the house we still were able to celebrate together as a family and had a great Christmas dinner.










*The kids got haircuts while we were down there. I was so proud of Sammie because she 1.)Let Lynn (the hair dresser) cut her hair 2.)Blow-dry her hair 3.) Took a picture with Lynn and gave her a hug because she liked her hair cut.
Andrew was great too. He sat in my lap while Lynn cut his hair.








The kids absolutely loved playing in the back yard. It was such great weather. (They were able to run without jackets and I didn’t have to worry about them freezing to death.) Here are some pictures of them playing outside.

Happy New Year!

welcome 2008!
I started off the new year with a bang. I was in bed asleep new years eve at 9:00. Yep you heard it 9:00. I was planning on being in Houston at a New Year's Eve party at Jen and Dave's but they decided to call it off a week prior due to Jen's high blood pressure. Good thing they did because they had ALTON JAMES on Dec. 31 around 5:5ish. Congrats yall!

The trip so far is going good. I have been busy making fleece hats and panchoes for everyone. Mom is getting ready to head out to the Philippines and the kids are having a blast.

Caroline is crawling and wants to walk like her brother and sister. Caroline loves to watch them run around and play.

Drew is trying to talk. Every now and then he gets going and you can understand more than Ah oh..Dada..Mama...Baby..Ball...light..cat and thank you. We are working on it.

Sammie is just talking away. The other day she was watching some talk show or criminal show like court tv or hard evedence and saw a jail. She comes up to Lola and says "just like time out for sammie and drew". Mom had no clue what she was talking about and I walk in the room and see there is something about the prison life....just like a very long time out for adults. I cracked up. Never thought about it that way.

She just learned the days of the week and askes everyday.....what day is it? CraZy little girl. At least she is learning.

That is all for now here in Texas. I will try and keep yall updated. The weather here is about 30 so much better than in Chicago 2. So glad to say....warm wishes from Texas!!!

Love ya,
