Uncle Josh Visits South Texas

My baby brother Josh and his fabulous girlfriend Lisa 

(we really like her!) came to visit us this past weekend.  

We had such a great time with them!  

Of course, Henry, George and Charlotte did their 

best to charm the pants off of them. The kids were 

big "Uncle Josh" fans, needing to know exactly where 

he was at all times! I think that Lisa was pretty partial 

to Charlotte...I caught her trying to smuggle Charlotte

home in her purse!

Southern Star Ranch

My father-in-law has a ranch out in Starr County (that's "way out

in the sticks" to you and me).  Whenever we have a free day on the 

weekend, Michael and his dad love to head out there and check on 

the cows and whatever wildlife happens to be there. The kids love to 

"drive around" at the ranch because they actually get to drive around!

Henry and George usually fight to see who gets to drive "daddy's truck", 

but Charlotte won this fight.  I don't know why!

Home School

From the title of this post, you probably thought that I had abandoned 

any hope of sanity for myself and decided to home school my children. 

Wrong! It was just such a nice day outside (and I didn't want to get up 

and take the boys to school) so we stayed home. We stayed in our 

pajamas until lunch and then spent the rest of the day outside 

(the only place that non-washable paints are allowed)!
