Waltz Across Texas

Last week our family took a mini vacation - traveling nearly 1,000 miles in four days. On Thursday we left Kingwood and headed with both children to Granbury, Texas. There we met up with Will's parents and visited with Will's grandmother and his aunt and uncle. On Friday, Anabel and Will and I headed to Cedar Park (outside of Austin) while Jacob left with his grandparents. We've discovered that having Jacob spend some time with Will's parents is a wonderful thing for everyone - Anabel gets some one on one time with us, Jacob gets much loving (and silly) undivided attention from his grandparents, and frankly Will and I get a bit of a break. We spent Friday night and Saturday morning at my Mom's house visiting with her and Randy.

On Saturday afternoon we traveled to Corpus Christi to attend a wedding of one of Will's fraternity brothers. We shared a room with our good friends Bill and Angie and had a fun time at the wedding. After a great breakfast and a quick stop to see the bay, we headed back home on Sunday afternoon, eager to be reunited with our son and our dog Lady. Bella was a joy to travel with, I wasn't sure how she would do but she really was a trooper and slept all night each night in her travel bed and was very good considering we had her up at all hours and in and out of the car seat so much. Pictures of the trip are coming soon.

In other news, I'm involved in starting a new bible study at our church, I wanted to start up something that would meet the insane schedule that I and so many other Mom's keep so I thought it would be cool if it was an online bible study that Moms could log onto whenever they had some spare time (you've heard of churches without walls, this would be a church without hours!) I'm scared. Scared on the one hand that it will totally bomb, scared on the other hand that it will totally take off. Hah! Anyway, if you get a moment, pray for me and for the ministry!
