Mom and Dad went back to Angleton yesterday, and their power came back on in the evening. There was no real damage to the house, just a lot of tree limbs down, so we’re all very thankful for that. Laurie (in Houston) and Sue (in Angleton) are still without power right now as far as […]

Ike Update
My parents evacuated from Angleton to my Aunt Laurie’s house in Houston, and they are fine. The street is flooded, a tree and part of the fence blew over at Laurie’s house, and they have no power right now, but everyone is okay.

Peanut Buddy Sandwich
Keata loves a good PBJ — she calls them “Peanut Buddy Sandwiches.” When she was a little younger, she called it a “Peanut Buddy See-otch,” which is still what we call them. So, as her pronunciation improves, ours gets worse… Yesterday around dinner time, she wanted to listen to her Veggie Tales CD (which we […]

And speaking of haircuts…
Before: After:

New Photo Gallery: Ice Cream Festival
We have done things in the last 5 months. We’ve even taken pictures of some of them. But we’ve fallen woefully behind on posting photo galleries. And I know that if I post 72 galleries at once, no one will look at any of them. So we’re just picking up with last weekend… we might […]
9 Months
…and still lives with his parents. Although we know Jonah loves us and still needs his snuggling, we get the impression he wouldn’t mind striking out on his own every once in a while to explore the world. We call him “Curious Jo”, as he is scooting around EVERYwhere and getting into EVERYthing. If he […]
Should I be worried?
What does it mean when you come home and find this? Is the midlife crisis hitting early? No, it’s just the ladies in Karianne’s book club are getting together tonight to show off their wedding photos, and they’re all going to wear their veils, and hey, as long as you’re putting on the veil, why […]
