Risking her life

If you knew how much my husband disliked cats you would realize that our cat risked its life sneaking inside and creeping into bed with him. When I walked and saw her there I ran and got the camera because I knew this was too good to pass up. Then I gently picked her up and put her back outside. Gotta love 'em!

Grandma's Birthday

We had so much fun with my parents here. We did some sight-seeing, kid wrangling, tile demolition, walking the dog, car repair, laundry, and lots of eating. They saw warm weather and icy cold weather. They were great sports! Tuesday was my Mom's 75 birthday. We all went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse and then came home and sang and opened presents. I think she was honored. We certainly were. Its so easy to love someone that did so much for you when you were growing up. She still keeps my kids rolling on the floor laughing with her quick witt and sense of humor. I couldn't have hand picked a better mom for me. I love you with all my heart, Mom. Thanks for coming! Now Dad we're gonna expect you on your birthday too so we can give you the royal treatment.

Claires "day off"

You know when Grandma and Grandpa come you have to have a day off. At least that's what Claire said. Well since it is a Friday, and she has excellent grades, I agreed. Claire took the day off from school to spend time with two of her favorite people.

A Special Visit

I am way excited today to have my parents coming! They are driving Megans car down for her. What great Grandparents. Thanks Mom and Dad. Can't wait to spend some time with you. Welcome to the big state of Texas where the weather is WARM.

The Beginning

I hope this is the beginning of a wonderful thing. A place to organize my thoughts and feelings and a place to share with those who are close to me. I have been blessed with a wonderful husband and charming kids that are my world. Hopefully you will all keep informed as to what we are up to. Here goes....
