I did make a resolution to blog more often this year and it hasn't happened yet, but I am NOT giving up hope! My friend Leilani so sweetly encourages me by mentioning that she hasn't seen a new blog post in a while--what she is really saying is "get off your ass and do something woman!" So, I will make the excuse that I was in Texas for two weeks this month, AND I am currently reorganizing my office and house AND I do have a 2.5 year old, 3 dogs and a husband to keep me busy! But, enough of that--Here are a mishmash of photos that I took while in Texas... Enjoy!
Here are Daddy and Drew coloring while we are waiting at the airport in Grand Rapids...
Drew NOT looking at me because I want to take his picture...
Drew and my nephew Matthew's dog Abbe--Drew loved her! He has not met a dog yet that he didn't like!
My two handsome nephews Michael and Matthew who live in Texas...
Ice on the lake! Ridiculous, we are in Texas, leave the ice fishing in Michigan! Okay, so it wasn't THAT thick--but I wanted to go where the weather was waaaarm!
My brother-in-law's sailboat...
One of my favorite things to photograph--a tree skeleton!
My sister thought Drew would have fun playing on this turtle, but not in the cold, rainy weather we had down there...
Don't ask me why, but I really like this picture for some reason...
Chloe, my sister's Coton de Tulear (sp?) She is a sweetheart...
Looking out the door/window at my sister's place...
Drew pouring "ice" out of a cup, not water! LOL!
Peek-a-boo! I see you!
Zoe, the baby of my sister's family and the main reason Drew wanted to go to Texas, "to see Zo-Zo!" She wouldn't sit still for a picture, so I took this while holding her and had my camera turned upside down so I could hit the button!
MeMe joined us in Texas from Missouri. Drew nick-named her MeMe when she was in Michigan for his birthday, while in Texas he started calling her Meem...
The boy being adorable as usual and cooperative...
One of these days I am going to get a good picture of Drew and Texas Longhorns, but as you see, this was taken from the truck with the Longhorns WAAAAY in the back. Hee!
Look at me Uncle Terry!
Miscellaneous items in a cup on a desk... guess I was bored at the moment...
Tired boy!
self explanatory...
The End!
Next blog will be posted... ummmmm... well... I do not want to make a promise I may not keep, so... until next time! :)
I really do applaud all of those who have run off and joined the circus and have an act that can make-the-cut! Those performers work hard and earn their money as far as I am concerned. They were giving camel rides among other things out on the floor before the start of the show. The "camel lady" as I will call her, had her two children out there in the middle of the ring in a stroller while she gave kids rides on her camel. The children were probably 8 mos and 2 years of age, and they behaved themselves in the stroller for a good 20 minutes or so before mom had to take them to the monkey cage where they stayed during the rest of the circus. Ha! Just kidding! I saw them later with a babysitter/nanny type person. Anyways, we had a wonderful time at the Shrine Circus at the Dow Event Center in Saginaw on Sunday evening. Drew had fun, but didn't enjoy it quite as much as we were expecting him to! His favorite thing was riding the ponies during intermission. (Oh! and I have no idea why Drew is lolling his tongue around in most of the pictures :)
Hope everyone enjoys a wonderful weekend--and please try to stay warm!
