Rough Week

On Tuesday Witnie pushed Sydnie and she fell on her arm wrong. She had her arm splinted in a sling.
You can see the crack on the upper bone to the left.
Here she is after she got a hard cast on Thursday.
On Friday Witnie decided to jump off the couch and hit her face on the coffee table. After another trip to the urgent care, Witnie came home with 2 stitches.

But it will take a lot more than that to keep her from icecream!

Happy New Year

We decided to go to the beach for New Year's Day.


It was pretty windy, so Sydnie decided to chill in the bike trailer for awhile because it was warm.

The winter time after a storm is the best time to find shells.

Sparklers with Deki.

Merry Christmas!



Our tree and gifts
Gingerbread houses

We visited the zoo a couple days before Christmas to see the new African exhibit.

I found these along the way.




Decorating cookies with friends


A cute parting shot. We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.

Vacation Further South

Mark had a couple of days of vacation left, so we headed camping to the beach near Corpus Christi for a few days.

The water was actually quite cold (probably like California water in the summer)

Some nice looking birds. I don't remember what they are.

Mark caught a few waves.
Chillin' on the beach.


We spent a day at the Texas State Aquarium.

Witnie loved the petting pools (as long as she didn't have to actually pet anything)

Maddie by a nurse shark.

Witnie and a big, ugly fish.
Sydnie got called up on stage during this program. They got her all dressed up in protective gear and teased her about holding a crazy animal. Then she got to help feed this anteater.


We got to watch a diver feed the fish in this tank.


The otters were Maddie's favorite.

The stingray petting pools.


These pictures are from a wildlife refuge that has endangered whooping cranes:
That day was pretty chilly due to the wind.

We found some of Tarzan's children.

Yesterday we decided to go biking at Brazos Bend. All went well except the fact that Mark's bike broke at the takeoff.

That's ok because it was a beautiful day and we had tinfoil dinners to cook.

There were pecans from the trees all over the ground so we gathered a few.



The little girls and I took a walk while Maddie and Mark (on my bike) took a ride.
