Texas Weather Sunday, January 21, 2007

It was 28F degrees on Tuesday and 69F degrees today with a beautifully clear blue sky. That's what we call Texas. We had a late Christmas after church with the my sister's family and were showered with sweet and so very thoughtful Christmas presents in a corner of a little coffeehouse in town. The boys gave sweet and thoughtful gifts of their own they'd picked and wrapped themselves. Christmas in January is perfect.Thanks Luke!Goofy Brandon

All of usTank top weather five days after snow weather. Love it!This evening.

It is COLD today. There's been a winter storm passing through the last three days and the worst is today. We were supposed to get SNOW but it went through at 6am and didn't stick. More of the freezing rain it is. We're all bundled up and staying warm inside with homemade hot cocoa and lots of movies.

Family Day Sunday, January 7, 2007

We went to Zilker Park today in downtown Austin and it was cooold which we had come completely unprepared for. I ended up using Brandon's sweatshirt and my jacket. Justin was the only one of us completely prepared with four shirts on. He was so sweet and gave one to Shawn, so now Shawn was warm enough, I was warm enough, Justin was warm enough, and I rubbed Brandon's arms to keep him warm because he's superman. We took Brownie and leash trained her a little more. The boys ran on ahead and we walked arm in arm with the puppy, and talked. After our walk we climbed rocks and then as we headed to the car Shawners says, "I'm the oneth, Daddy you're the twoth, Mommy you're the threeth, and Justin you're the fourth." We can't even remember what it was about but it was so cute we had to write it down.

Happy New Year!! Wednesday, January 3, 2007

I couldn't believe how gorgeous the pictures of the fireworks turned out! I love the moon in the background.
My other Texas girlie and the hostess of the party!

Setting off the big one. Can you see the huge box he is lighting? That thing went on forever.

All bundled up watching the fireworks.

New Year's. What's New Year's? Give us a movie, a spare bedroom, and let us sleep!
This was where we were. Wishing the best of the best New Year's for you!
