Your eyes do not deceive you. It was really warm enough for Isaac to run around in shorts and a t-shirt with no jacket! And it was December!!!  We went for a walk to the park close to mom’s house and then for a long walk to get back..We had a blast. Isaac had a [...]

Part of why mom sent us to Galveston was so that Zeb could go bird watching and see some birds he might not have seen before.  He’ll have to update you on his Life Birds, but we saw a bunch! It was hard to get good pics, but here are a few of the favorites…Including [...]

My mom gave us a night/day stay on Galveston Island for Christmas, which was wonderful. We stayed in one of the hotels that is at about 85% functional since the hurricane. We were told that after the storm, only 1/2 of the building was even left standing. The devastation was awesome (and not the good [...]

We had a great time in Houston with my mom and brother…Thanks to those who have been praying for my mom’s recovery. Her surgery went well. She had something called a UPPP with tonsillectomy. The UPPP has 26 letters, so please don’t ask me to spell it!  She stopped her pain medication on Saturday and [...]

We are in Houston with my mom and younger brother. My mom had surgery for severe obstructive apnea on Friday (Dec. 19th), so I flew in with Isaac on Sunday to tend to her when she was released from the hospital.  She is trying desperately to be a good patient, but needs some work! Please [...]

My dad, aka “Papa”, and Grandma Ginny sent Isaac a big Christmas package along with the few treasures we managed to conjure up.  Tanta Nita also sent a great puzzle….Here are some of the highlights!

“It’s an owl…whoo whoo…” Repeat until you’re nuts…This was definitely the favorite animal in the menagerie of animals from Papa and [...]

We such a wonderful church family! They, of course, can’t resist the opportunity to spoil our kiddos rotten…Isaac got to open “Round 1″ of Christmas last night (most will be opened tonight!).  He loves his new books and toy train…They will certainly be making the trek to Houston next week.  Mommy loves the shirt from [...]

This is the first year that I have actually ventured into the official Christmas baking! I made the dough balls for Peanut Butter Blossoms this morning to be baked this weekend and over the week next week!
We let Isaac get into it, too, which was fun! We made chocolate covered pretzels with him tonight. Hope [...]
