The Calm Before the Storm?

So there hasn't been a whole lot going on around our house these days.  Of course, we have the normal school/work/daycare craziness from day to day, but I've loved having our weekends at home with no commitments.  The kids play with the neighbors and we get some projects done around the house.  I feel like it's the calm before the storm because things are starting to get busy.  Jordan will start soccer soon and Jackson will start flag football again.  And we always enjoy watching our niece and nephews play baseball in the spring, from College Station to El Campo.

My Uncle Frank has been in the hospital, so my cousins Sharla and Shari have stayed with us a few nights.  The kids have loved that because they get to "camp out" in the game room.  After lots of prayers, he's starting to do a lot better!

Valentine's Day was a good day too.  I baked lots of cookies for a couple of orders in New Orleans and then I put them in my sister in law, Gayle's flower shop.  That was interesting because I wasn't sure if they would sell or not.  Well, all but 3 boxes sold.  Yay!  You can see them by clicking my Busy Bee link on the left side over there.  Kenny helped deliver flowers for Gayle also.  He always comes home with lots of pretties for us at the end of the day.

No pictures, unfortunately, but hopefully next time!

It's Been A While and Star Student!

So I haven't posted since Christmas.  I don't have a real reason other than the usual, work, kids, family, etc...  So I'm back.  Hopefully for good.

January started good as the Aggies won their bowl game.  We had a great time watching the game at Carla and Martin's that we didn't wanna leave.  We ended up staying there to ring in the new year.  It was tons of fun, and the kids had a  blast popping fireworks with their cousins.  Sorry, no pictures of that.  I guess I forgot my camera at home.

During January, Jackson was Star Student for a week at school.  On Monday, he took a decorated box to school, and his classmates left him notes and drew pictures for him.  One little girl said she loved him.  Hmmmm, gotta keep an eye on her. 

On Tuesday, he started the day by leading the pledge and prayers over the intercom.  Then he took a poster to school that had pictures all about him.  He then presented it to the class.  Then he got to answer 5 questions.  One question was why he liked the Aggies so much.  Haha!  He said that was his favorite team!  You all know he doesn't have a choice! ;-)  The morning ended with me reading a few of Jack's favorite books to his class.  He was so sweet and just loved having his dad, sister and me visit his class.
