11 Years

Happy anniversary to my lovely wife. It’s been a pretty awesome 11 years. We just had dinner at III Forks, and it was amazing! You know your in a nice joint when they have wash rags to dry your hands. I am blogging from my iPhone while I wait for the movie Swing Vote to start — technolgy is so cool.

Here are some photos for ya. The first is Andrew who crashed after a shopping trip. The other is the doors of my new favorite restaurant.

Feeling Ill

I feel horrible. I took a day off from work, because I have been congested with a sore throat and throbbing head. It all started when we went to a Frisco Rough Riders * baseball game on Monday evening. I guess sitting outside in the wind all evening must have gotten me sick. I didn’t feel well yesterday at work, but I have gotten progressively worse. I slept in until 11:00 a.m. this morning, which I never get to do anymore with 2 children. Daycare called at noon, and Andrew was running a fever. Audrey was in a Ft. Worth at a teachers conference, so she had to come rescue us. I have a good wife.

In other news, Andrew is getting big. This weekend, I will post some photos of him. Big brother Alex is still enjoying being a big brother. In fact, Alex enjoys helping people. He has a huge heart like his mother. Recently, we have some friends stay the night with us. They came in town from Tulsa and went out for dinner. As we put their small son to bed, he began to cry — missing his mother. Alex went in to his room, laid down next to him and while patting him on the leg began to say, “It’s okay.” It was precious. I am so proud of Alex.

I have checked my mail and posted to my blog, so it’s time to lay down again. I hope you all are doing well.

Back in the Saddle

Mom’s funeral service went pretty well. Like Dad’s service, it was fairly short, sweet and to the point. At the end of the service, the family lined up and thanked everyone. A couple people went through the line and said they had some old photos of Mom in school. A couple days later, I received an e-mail with some photos. For those of you who didn’t know my mother, she didn’t like to have her photos taken. Therefore, we don’t have a lot of pictures of Mom. I have added those photos here, and if my mother was still alive she would kill me for posting them. I hope she would understand.

Audrey, Alex, Andrew and I spent two weeks in Oklahoma. It took quite some time to handle all the family affairs. We’re sure glad to be back into a normal routine again. Thank you all for the cards, phone calls and e-mails. It’s great to know we have such loving, caring friends.
