Thank You....

For all the help with girl names- I think we've narrowed down our list to at least....10! We appreciate your congrats and kind thoughts.

And, thanks to Hurricane Ike- for missing the north Dallas area almost completely. All of our Saturday plans were cancelled, leaving us with a less-than-eventful rainy day but with a gorgeous Sunday- as shown here. We took a walk in our neighborhood, on the trails, and found a turtle and some rolie-polies. The second picture is of Taylor "crawling like a turtle".


ANOTHER GREAT RACE ...





I usually don't like to do color on black & whites (reminds me of those cheesy kid pictures acting grown up??) ... but I thought this was kinda cool. Sorry for the close up, Captain ...


A tribute ...

I'll write and give some details of the race later--as for now .. enjoy some pics.

the Angels ...



Kate started practices for her U-5 soccer league last week. She LOVES playing and actually begs to wear her cleats and for mommy to play soccer with her. I can't vouch for her coordination, but at least she's having a great time! :) Because she has seen me play before, she kind of knew what to expect and so when I asked her how you play soccer, she replied, "You kick the ball in the goal"- I guess she learns from the best! :) :)

OFF TO PORTLAND ... Hood to Coast 2008!

Last week half the team got together to do more video work for the H2C documentary ... John Hammerley (a local news anchor) is a big part of the race and we have become friends with him over the years. Because he is local to Dallas, we were able to meet up for a run. John is a lot of fun--and crazy ... he runs marathons barefoot!

Daddy's Girls



Here's some shots of the girls at the pool with their Daddy. There is nothing they love more than swimming (unless you're talking about "treats"). Kate loves to "dive", as you'll see her attempting in the last picture. As long as she starts with her arms up, in the diving position, it qualifies as a dive in her mind. :)

My Mom came into town last week for a few days. Its always fun to have visitors, but when Grandma comes to stay...well, thats something extra special! And, she came bearing gifts! Kate and Taylor LOVED having her here (and so did Brian and I!)...we didn't do much, but we spent a lot of time at the pool and just chatting and eating yummy lunches. We miss Grandma already!
