aggie opening weekend

that's right, folks. it's baseball season again. this means a couple of things: the weather is getting a little nicer and lee is even happier than he was before.

the aggies started the season off right with three wins: 3-1, 10-2, 14-0.

my new camera and our good seats on saturday made for some pretty nice shots, if i do say so myself.

the kiddos got "jobs" running out with some of the starters and standing with them for the national anthem

the next three were a sequence of shots taken with my continuous timer. after several tries, i was pretty proud of my results:

overdue update #1

before too much time passes us by, i wanted to recap our weekend in louisiana from a few weekends ago. we had not been back for a visit since christmas, but had seen almost everyone here in houston since then.

we were excited to see walter and emily's new house...with emily's creativity, that house will be the cutest house in the neighborhood before too long! they have a lot of space and a great backyard that i know the guys will have fun working in. the near-perfect weather was already in effect that weekend (just a week after freezing temps for us in houston and few DAYS after a snowless snow day for them in ruston). we enjoyed time outside all weekend long as well as a sleepover with jonah and emma at mr joe's house (but missed zach and joe who were sick all weekend).our morning at the park...

(a little bit of tuscaloosa in louisiana!)

big changes

we are moving into a house!!!!!

for those of you who do not know, we currently live in a THIRD floor, one-bedroom apartment. with a crazy, yet perfect (thank you, Jesus) course of events, a rental house belonging to one of the assistant principals at my school is available, and we get to move in! the breaking of our apartment lease turned out to be much less painful than anticipated so we will be in our new space in march instead of july (the original end of our lease).

our new home is a 3-bedroom, 2 bath house no more than half a mile from where we currently live so it does not impact our drives to school and we already know & love the area.

this house and all of the details that have fallen into place are truly blessings. please know that this emphasizes our open invitation to all friends and family even more! now we have space for you! :)

pictures to come soon!
