Summer in Texas

We spent 2 weeks in Texas recently and had a great time. Here are some pictures of the insanity!

Daphne and Pa Pa...she had had enough sand for one day

Thanks for the fun times everyone!

T-Ball season is over...probably forever. Felix is done with sports, he says...unless it's a quiet sport like Golf. Rex wants to start Karate. He often says he wants to play football, so we'll see what he decides down the road. T-ball turned into a battle getting the boys to go...at least Felix, and of course Rex had to follow suit with big brother (even if it wasn't how he really felt). Turns out T-ball was just a way to get treats from the concession stand. Proud parents right here.

Summer Dayz

I suppose I should give a pet update for any wondering. We kept our cute puppy, Ruby, for 3 weeks and then the kids' cruel mother found a new, loving home for her. It was too much for me to handle, and I felt more comfortable caring for a gerbil, which we got, but died 3 weeks after we got him. Ruby and Joe are always remembered in our prayers each night. We will be getting 2 new gerbils sometime in the near future.

Daphne, our little cruiser

End of Kindergarten

Felix finished Kindergarten with great success. He made some good friends and is excited to start 1st grade with them...that doesn't mean he wants summer to end anytime soon.

Felix with best bud "Benj-er-min"

Felix got to throw a pie in his Principal's face for helping his school raise money for school children in Haiti. They raised $854 just in pocket change...mostly pennies!
