Grandmama's birthday




We gathered in Mt Pleasant for my grandmother's 91st birthday in early December. She gets such a kick out of watching the "great-grands" play together, and every 5 minutes, she would shout out, "Take a picture!" She loves to watch them play on a huge stuffed bear (or maybe it's a dog) that she bought recently. This is Owen and his cousin Kennedy (my cousin Rachel's daughter) taking a breather on said bear (dog?).

I seem to be incapable of taking good shots of my niece and nephew, Jordan and Jenna. They're beautiful kids, but I don't think I've ever once been able to get them to look at the camera, and almost always something comes along to partially block my view (this time it was my grandmother's head). However, for posterity's sake, I wanted to include a shot of them - they're playing with some sort of electronic toy my grandmother bought at the dollar store, but it seemed to entrall them for a few minutes.










Kennedy giving Alex a big hug - she loves being around other kids, and she's very, very affectionate and curious. Alex takes it pretty well.

Thanks for visiting!

I'm new to the blogosphere, and since I plan to stick with pictures of my kids for the most part, I doubt that this site will be of interest to too many people. But you're welcome to pop in whenever you'd like to see what we've been up to!

About Me

Between Dallas and Ft. Worth, Texas, United States
My husband and I have been married for 11 years, but we've been together for 19 years - over half our lives! We moved from east Texas to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area in 1998. I became a stay-at-home mom a few months after our oldest son, Alex, was born in 2004, though I do work a few hours each week while he and our youngest son, Owen (born in 2006) are sleeping. Although I know I'll have to go back to work full-time once they start school, for now I plan to cherish the days of getting out of bed at 8am, lazy mornings spent at the park, and sharing every meal together.
