New Additions

We had a busy weekend and added a few items to our house. Barstools & under the cabinet lighting are now featured in our kitchen.

Did Santa Already Come?

"Is it Halloween?" were the first words out of Josh's mouth this morning. I told him that it is Halloween. His next question was, "Did Santa make it last night?"
Poor kid must have had dreams all night about Santa bringing him toys for Halloween.

May The Force Be With You

Josh received this Yoda toy from a McDonalds Happy Meal several weeks ago. When you press the button it says "May the force be with you." Josh didn't seem to hear it that way and continues to say "Come with me, Come with you" every times he hears it. He'll even say it when he is not playing with the toy in a Yoda-like voice. This makes us laugh every time. Today at the grocery store, when Josh was lagging behind I couldn't pass up saying to him, "Come with me, come with you."
Along the same lines, Josh was listening to a boxing game that counts to 10 and then says "knockout, K.O." Joshua repeats "Knockout, K-JO." and skips 5 every time he counts too fast.

Rain Lamp finds a home

We were finally were able to put up the rain lamp in our new home. This is the same lamp we referenced last year in this post.

Egg relay race

When was the last time you competed in an Egg Relay Race? Well, we had one this past March in Cypress, TX. Looks like Josh had a slight lead over Grandpa.

Can I get a glass of water?

Jacob has reverted back to coming out of his room multiple times after going to bed with various excuses. "Can I get a glass of water?" "Do you know speed racer's number?" "Hey Dad, I bet you've never seen this" "I forgot my blanket" "I need to sleep with my ninja turtle" "Where is my bear" ...... The list goes on and on.

This picture makes me laugh

Josh decided to get a different perspective.

Sold

4 months & 70 showings after listing our house we have finally sold it! We are still looking at a few different homes near Houston and should decide soon.

Metairie, Louisiana

While we were visiting the New Orleans area last weekend, we spent one afternoon in Metairie. Both Mom & Dad lived in Metairie before they were married and Mom even taught at an elementary school there. So we drove around to see if we could find any of their old stomping grounds back in 1969. Here is a picture of her school and a picture of one of his apartments!
