The other night we were out to dinner and Lukey said, "What do you call that Food Teacher?" For some reason he has always called all women in authority "teacher." This time he was talking about the waitress.

Today at Costco the cashier asked me if I wanted to donate to the children's hospital. I said, "no" because I've been asked this several times recently. But Jackson kept trying to interrupt, "What did she say? What did the Costco teacher (haha) say?" Finally when I was finished paying I told him she said, "Do you want to donate to the children's hospital." Relieved, he said, "Oh, I thought she said 'do you want to donate your children.'" I asked him if he was afraid I was going to donate him and he said, "No because I already have a really good Mommy" and gave me a hug. Awwww. What a sweet boy!!

Hotel Pool

We stayed in a hotel recently in Houston when we went down there for the Leslie Family Birthday Extravaganza (more on that later). The hotel wasn't anything special, but I thought the tile and the lighting in the pool area made for some cool pics. Here are the boys along with their cousin Ben.

Saturday Morning

Pictures!

I sent my computer off to Apple Headquarters for a "Depot" visit to get some things fixed. So while it's off at the doctor, I decided to try to download our pictures onto Mat's computer and it worked! Finally, new pictures! These two go all the way back to when we were on our way home from Spring Break, and they were taken just a few minutes apart.





And these movies were on the same road trip. People fighting sleep always makes me laugh!





I couldn't resist posting this picture that we took on the way up to Dallas. Only in Texas...love it!

10 Years and Counting

I'm very proud to say that Mat and I are celebrating our 10 year anniversary on Friday. I don't have words really to express the feeling that this milestone has given me. It's makes me emotional thinking about all we've been through. The joy and sorrow we experienced with our firstborn, Frances (the Vizsla). The love/hate relationship we have with our second baby, Alpheus. And every emotion known to man that came with the two amazing boys God has seen fit for us to raise. We've taken many memorable trips together, made hundreds of friends it seems like, and watched our extended family triple in size. Best of all we are still best friends after all this time. Here's how it all began!



If you are interested in seeing more...I scanned the photos we purchased from our wedding photographer and they are on Flickr. There were many more great photos from the wedding weekend in Round Top, but you will just have to come over to the house and look through the albums with me to see those.
