On the road again

Since Greg is working basically 24 hours a day, I decided to take the kids on a trip to Houston to visit Marmee and Poppy. This was no small feat, considering it's a 4 1/2 hour drive and my kids like to scream bloody murder while in their carseats. But thanks to Teletubbies and cars with DVD players we were able to make it there without completely losing our sanity. Marmee and Poppy were so happy to see the kids and it was a nice little vacation for us. Emma had lots of fun playing outside. She loved sweeping the porch and playing in the water but her favorite thing was playing on the slip 'n' slide. We also went for walks and played at the community park. Before we came home Friday night we went to the Rainforest Cafe at Katy Mills Mall. The animals there are so scary looking, I really thought Emma would be afraid of them. However, she isn't afraid of much these days and she thought the animals were fun. Cooper loved it, too. He sat in his little seat and stared up at the shooting stars on the ceiling. We left Katy on Friday night and got back into Fort Worth about 1 am. We really missed Daddy and the kids were excited to see him when we got home. It was a really fun trip. We had a great time with Marmee and Poppy and I think we'll do it again during busy season in the spring.

Hello blog world.

Well, here we are- Greg, Laura, Emma, and Cooper. Dadda, Mama, toddler, and baby. Welcome to our blog page. As you can imagine, we have alot going on these days. Emma is 19 months now. She loves the park, singing, drinking milk, Elmo, Teletubbies, and up until a few weeks ago the little 25 cent horse ride at Minyards. For some reason it spooks her now, so we don't ride it anymore. Cooper is 6 months. He loves to roll around on the rug, be held, grab your face, talk in little baby sounds, and put strange objects in his mouth. Every day is a new adventure. Mama and Dadda have more to do than hours in the day allow. We're trying to learn how to let go of the less important tasks that try to work themselves into our lives. So in the spirit of the lessons we are learning, I must cut our blog short this time. Hope this gives you a small glance into our window. See you next time.
