Emma & Sarah's birthdays - November 8th

On Nov. 8th Emma turned 5 and Sarah turned 4. We had a small birthday at the house, then went up to the hospital so the could visit their Aunt Donna.

It is hard to believe that they are already so old. They grow up so very quickly.

Here are a few from the evening.....there will be more from their birthday party with their friends...later.





Still Catching Up...October 26th - Donna

My sister-in-law, Donna, went into the hospital on October 26th. She just wasn't feeling well and was extremely nauseous. As many of you know, Donna is a diabetic in her early 40's and she had a heart attack almost 3 years ago.

As it turned out, they discovered that she had a major heart attack. Most of November was spent between home and the hospital while Donna recovered from a quadruple bypass.

As a quick update, she is doing better. Recovery is slow, but the doctors will tell you that it takes a good 6 months to recover from open heart surgery.

Just keep Donna in your prayers. She has alot going on.

Stefan's New Ride

On October 20th, we won the bid on ebay for Stefan's new car. So on November 1st, me, Cindy, and all of the kids made a day trip to Dallas to pick up Stefan's new car. That was a LONG day.

Here are a few more web pics of his "new to him" 2001 Hyundai Accent:



Now he just has to wait until January 15th to become driver legal.

Homecoming - October 2007

Stefan's sophomore year Homecoming Dance was held Saturday, October 27th at the Silver Lake Ballroom in downtown Shreveport. I wasn't at home to get any pictures before he left with his dates (he went with a group of friends to the dance). However, I took his and Brent's pictures after the dance...hence the sweaty, hit, red-faced looks they have.



District XIII Marching Festival - October 20th

As many of you know, Stefan is in the Haughton High band....and loves it! In October they performed at the District XIII Marching Festival at Parkway High School. And they did very well. The girls and I went to show our support...and as a little bonus, my alma mater (Southwood) was there. Let's just say that their style has changed alot since I was in the band there.


Here are a few shots from Haughton's performance:










And here are a couple of the girls that were there to keep me company and irritate all at the same time:





Let's start playing catch up....

Over the next few days, I am going to attempt to play catch up on my posting. It has just been crazy around here between family and work. Bear with me and I will make several posts over the next few days.
