Proud to have a big sister at Duquesne University

Kayla is showing how excited she is to be wearing the shirt sent to her by Katie from Duquesne University. Katie, my birthdaughter that I gave for adoption 18 years ago, and I are staying in touch via email. Kayla knows her picture and says her name with excitement when she sees it. I loved this picture. Eric is also sporting the Duquesne logo!

Today the septic installer will meet with me to arrange having the septic installed at our new place. Then once that is complete we can move! Yay!

Anyone want to buy a house : )

Hurricane Ike update

Just a quick update to let those who are wondering know. We here in Cuero didn't get as much as a drop of rain as Hurricane Ike roared through Texas early this morning. So I guess we'll enjoy the slightly cooler weather and work around our house. First I'm going to go see if the town is starting to liven up. Last night it was dead, most windows were boarded up and businesses were closed.

virus attack

Our week included sick kids and Grandma in the hospital but everyone is doing fine now. Nothing like the attack of the virus! Grandma Johnson got out of the hospital today and is doing ok and both kids are now on antibiotics and decongestants. These pictures portray a typical day at our house. Eric is growing well and Kayla is now potty training. She loves to read as you can see in the picture where she fell asleep reading her book : )
