a gift.

This weekend was memorable.
It was sad.
It was peaceful.
It was humbling.
It was an honor.
This weekend I had the priveledge of doing individual/family counseling at a grief camp in Cat Springs, Texas.
I don't exactly know what/how to "blog" about this experience, so I will just leave you with a few pictures. I will also ask that as you carry on about your day-run errands, meet people, think about life, etc. you take some time to be thankful for your family and realize that each day with the people we love is a gift.
Please pray for those who grieve.


Beautiful. Symbolic.

FFA.

Future Farmers of America...look out! We have some rodeo fans here (Uncle Aaron..you should be so proud!)
We had the best time at the Rodeo!

This one needs some explaining. Cam was pretty fascinated by the pot belly pig. Chris asked him (Cam) if he could find the pigs belly button. So....he was getting a closer look and trying to find it. Ha!

It wouldn't be a complete day at the rodeo without some...rodeo food! Yum!

The end of a long day!

A tribute to a great man.

Happy Birthday, Dad!

This ones for you.

Love you!

I love this picture :).

Bugs.

I remember when I thought "I will never be able to run a mile".

I remember when I thought "I will never be able to run 3 miles".

I remember when I thought "I will never be able to run 5 miles".

This weekend I ran in the Woodlands Marathon Relay and ran over 6 miles (closer to 7 I really think...).

I have caught the running bug.

I wonder what thought I will dismiss next?

(before the race.)

(After the race)
All the while...the boys have caught some other kind of bug.

And it isn't as pleasant.

Yuck!

Mardi Gras. Not so festive.

Well, this is what Sullivan thinks about (either) crafts or Mardi Gras.

Not sure...

ha. Just had to put that out there.

To do list:

A sample of our recent to do list (not in any particular order....)

1. run relay-marathon for Orphan hope. Check!
2. take boys to doctor on a rainy day. Check!
3. play in the ditch with our cars. Check!
4. play with chalk in our diapers. Check!
5. play with our cousins. Check!
6. snuggle with mommy. Check!

We are up to something...

It is a beautiful day.
We all feel better.
So...we got crafty!
We can't exactly tell you the details (afterall, Valentines day is around the corner) but we can tell you that we had fun working on this project together!

(a little out of order, but Cam was even helpful in the cleanup. Now that is my kind of craft :)
