Smooth Max

Finally a post that doesn't revolve around those dang kids!! I took my Dad as a date to go see Max Stalling (my VERY favorite) back in November. We were about 5 feet from the stage...oh, sweet bliss!! To add to the excitement - ever the adventurous duo, we took the dart (Dallas' rapid transit). It was some wierd holiday & the schedules were different, so we ended up missing the last train. Long story short, we got a nice policeman to take us back to our station where the car was, some 20 miles away. It was pretty funny to be able to say we had gone out honky-tonkin' and the police had to bring us home at 1 in the morning.

No people, don't let the cuteness fool you. You are looking at bonified TROUBLE. Not a good phase we are going through...not good at all. Perhaps I should write more when there are nicer things to report.

Mag's 1st

Here we are in January & I'm finally posting Magdalene's birthday (in November). Ugh...it has been a wild 6 months. You know, raising 2 (what shall I call them?) 'full of life' children!! Not to mention the computer crash we had at the end of the summer, which made me not even want to think the word computer for a good 4-5 months. So.....I'm a little behind. Well , here is one big event to catch up on. My sweet baby girl, one year old. She is a hoot. Walking & saying about 10 words now. She is a much easier child than Gideon, because she is content without constant attention. That being said, she does have him to learn from, so she is finding mischief much earlier than he did. Oh well, you take the good with the bad as a Mama. She already has Daddy wrapped around those tiny fingers; she is becoming his new little buddy now that she is really old enough to keep up with the 'boys'. Still, she and I relish our 'girl time' when the Jake & Gideon are off doing their own thing & giving us a little quiet!! Oh and did I mention....she is SO Pretty.
