Fall Colors

Oh I love the fall! I didn't used to feel that way. For several years I associated the fall with morning sickness as three of the four kids I have were born in May. If you count back, you will see that September, October and November were weeks 6-18 and that is when I was the sickest. But now I have a whole new set of memories to replace the old ones and now I love the fall! It is not only playoffs in the MLB, but also College Football Season. It is 5:20p.m. and kick off is at 6:00. We have been watching football for a few hours already, but the most important kick off is the LONGHORN kickoff. We've been in Texas for seven years now and it didn't take long for us to hop on the Longhorn Fan Wagon and hold on for dear life. It is a kick around here! I'd like to know what percentage of people wear "Longhorn memorabilia" on a game day. Every where you go there are fans of every age floating about with the face of Euphoria. If you have ever been here in the fall you know that the leaves don't change colors and the air is anything but crisp and cool. But football is in the air, burnt orange is everywhere and life is good!!

I love this place! I love the weather! I love the schools! I love the people! I love the football! This is home!

Back to School

Madi is in the 4th grade and has Mrs Adams. B and Nat had her as well. She is great we are so glad that Madi was able to get her...






Up the ramp to the new class room.






Cpt Jack, to those familiar with him, Xander is often in character... This was not from the the back to school day but I could not resist.


So here he is with his 'summer hat', Mom and Madi, in Madi's class room.






Nat is in Middle School this year, 6th grade. She has most of the same teachers B had.


There she goes...






B is in the 8th grade, football has started and I guess he will smile next time... RIGHT...

We need to buy a cow...
