Let’s catch up

It has only been 2 weeks since an update and to some people’s expectations, apparently that is way too long. So let me catch you up — if you are there, surely someone is: mom? ann? bev?

Two weeks ago Audrey was dedicated at Harpeth Community Church. The other little baby on stage with us, well, [...]

Winter Fun

Growing up in Houston, I have never had this much fun in the snow. Ok, I think I went skiing as a kid once, and remember a photo of me riding in a gondola, and it snowed once in 1987 and I ate snow off our pool lounger — but beyond that don’t remember [...]

Still snowing

It has been almost 3 full days of snow falling. We finally got everyone dressed to do some real playing. There wasn’t a lot on the ground and it was too dry to actually pack, but still fun.

Three cheers for Oma

Oma visited us this last week and we were so lucky to have her. She entertains, she cooks, she paints, she reads, she teaches us things we never thought we needed to know. She tried to clean-up but Ethan kept shoving her outside to play with the girls. They really enjoyed having her around and [...]

The Fair

We enjoyed the Williamson County Fair again this year. I am sure we went to the Ft Bend one as kids, but I don’t remember, so this is as fun for me as the kids. Plus both girls are so different than last year, so it was like a new experience. They rode most of [...]

Across Texas again.

We headed to Abilene last week. Ethan had a conference in Dallas, so we spent one night in Dallas with the Reeses, then the girls and I went on to Abilene to see my brother and family. Ethan decided the night before we left that I needed a GPS. I hesitated spending the money, but [...]
