It's Beginning To Look a lot Like Christmas

The cousins took all of their Christmas decorations out last night.  I'm thankful they did that while we were still here.  There have been a few 'bumps' along the way for us as we transition during this holiday season of not having our own stuff. We know it's just stuff, but it's our stuff, and it's packed deep in the abyss of the semi trailer and won't see the light of day until next year. So I was glad when the cousins stuff started flying out and being strung out all over the house. It was great how much decorating the kids did. They did the entire outside lights in the front yard all alone.

We had a wonderful visit here with the cousins. Thank you for all your hospitality, we'll see you guys in a week or so. We are ready for the last month of the year.  It's gonna go quickly, so we better get our stuff together. Oh wait, we're already ready...our stuff is all packed away! haha!

New Swing Set

The cousins got a new swing set.  Christian (13) put the majority of it together. All the kids have had a lot of fun on it.  It's nice to have this with a house that is sharing space with 13 kids, 13 and under...don't ya think?!

A Friend's Fall Festival



We met The Cousins out in Conroe tonight for a friend's fall festival.  It was lots of fun.
This is cousin Sam. See that mark around his eye? His sweet Uncle Paul accidentally dropped his drill battery on his face. They both felt bad.

Our First Few Days in Houston

We left the beach, and headed for our new hometown.  We couldn't wait to get to the cousins to meet their newest addition. Luke is a sweet, beautiful baby.  He has the bluest eyes, and cutest dimples, I was in love from the first look.

Beach Fun with the Cousins!

We took the kids to Galveston....12 kids (12 & under), 4 adults...woo hoo. It was a lot of fun. This was the first time for our kids to go to Galveston. Well, Cole & Cadie went when they were 2 and 10 months old, but they told me that it doesn't count, because they don't remember it.

Sam is into the bag of unguarded chocolate.
We also celebrated MeMaw's birthday with some of her family. We had a nice lunch, then went to an afternoon movie. Thank you Paul for keeping those 12 kids busy while we were out with your mom. Four hours later we came home to a nicely manicured lawn, the pool had been vacuumed out and the garage and been cleaned & organized. Love it when dads are in charge!
