Cousins This is not the picture I had in mind when I corralled the kids here before Lindsey and Scott left this morning. It was going to be a sweet photo and everyone was going to have huge grins. It was going to be one we’d print and frame. Instead Carson was a total … [Read more…]
Great Grandpa Don Grandpa Don and Marj have been staying with my parents in Round Rock this past week. Since Lindsey, Scott and the boys are here they decided to drive down for the day to see everyone. We are so thankful that they made the trip. It warms my heart to see this picture … [Read more…]
Almost Done The guys who have been working on our pergola came out at 9:30 and worked until 7 today. They almost finished, but are going to have to come out Monday to do the rest of the work. It’s going to look great and be a wonderful space once it’s completed. It’s already been … [Read more…]

Mother’s Day Brunch Had a lovely brunch with these fine folks this morning. We then went out to my parents for a little visit. Our drive back to Houston was great. Traffic was fine and Betsy slept the entire way. It was a great day. I love being a mother to my two sweet … [Read more…]
Hanging out with Papa Steve and Gramma This morning we drove to Austin. The drive was ok. Betsy slept for the first 45 minutes or so, woke up and was happy for about 15 minutes, and then decided that being in the back without someone to play with was not her idea of a good … [Read more…]
