Fun Pictures

I haven't been able to upload any pictures for a while, but I am finally up and running with the camera and computer, so I thought I would just post a few pictures for fun from the past few weeks/months.

Enjoy!

"Real Snow"

Yesterday a cold front came through. In San Antonio, that means cooler weather for a day or so, then back to short sleeves or light clothing. In Rockwall, we are learning that may mean a little more. The wind was very cold and we had sleet last night. We woke up this morning and saw a little snow/ice on the roof. sydnie was soooo excited! "It snowed, it snowed! Can I go see it? " So she puts on her crocks and runs outside in her penguin pajamas to look at the snow. "I see it! It did snow. Real snow!" It really is the little things that we take for granted that give us joy, if we will stop and allow them.

Have a wonderful day. Enjoy your "snow" today.
(If I get the memory stick cleared off before it melts, I'll post a picture. I know everyone will want to see the snowdrifts....haha)

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to a very special person-my sister. We didn't get to talk to her tonight, but we are all thinking about her. She is a very caring person, everyone should have a sister like her :)

Love you, Steph

Happy Holiday Season

Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas! We had our first Thanksgiving dinner in Rockwall. Syd and I made squash casserole, sweet potato casserole, cranberry relish, honey biscuits, turkey and dressing. It was delicious, if I do say so myself. Of course, Tim and I enjoyed it more than Sydnie, who actually took one bite and ate no more. Oh well...

I braved the storm Friday morning, literally and figuratively. I left the house about 5:30ish and went shopping-by myself!!! It was chilly and rainy, but there weren't as many people out as I expected. I bought a couple of Christmas gifts and a few things we needed for the house or for us. Really exciting things such as lotion, soap (from Bath and Body Works, of course), running shoes, knives, and I went back for curtains. I know the excitement might be too much!! But, I was alone. The time was precious. I know Moms can appreciate the thought :)

Tonight we went to see Santa. The city of Rockwall sponsored the evening with free refreshments and goodies for the little ones. Sydnie was very excited, but also very nervous. I didn't think she would sit in his lap for the picture, but she came through. She asked for a Jr. Flexible Sled. What is this, you ask. I don't know. She has been asking for it for several weeks. I guess she is preparing early for the snow we will be having on Christmas.

We are trying to find our way around. Of course, I did get lost and so turned around today. Where is the GPS when you need it??? In the other car, duh. We did finally make it to the library and Syd actually received her own library card. She was as excited about that as she was seeing Santa!! She could hardly contain herself. The library is new and has a pretty good selection, from what we saw. It is much, much larger than what we are used to. Story time is 3 times a week, so I am sure we will be adding that to our week's activities.

We're thinking about our friends/family in SA. It is odd not seeing you every week, but you are thought of daily. We miss our family in TN and are thankful for each person.
God Bless!!
