Gifts & Gratitude

Pa John has returned home and while we miss our holiday visitors, we are enjoying a quiet week before school starts for the boys and Jack starts his winter J term at SMU Plano. Walker spent a lot of time today working with his electrical circuit kit - a gift from Great Aunt Jean. Afterwards he sat down to write some thank you notes for all of his wonderful Christmas gifts.

While Walker was hooking up his closed circuits and flipping switches, I made up some delicious tea - a lovely Christmas gift from Patti and John in Williamsburg.

Thank you all for the wonderful gifts you bestowed on us this holiday season!

Goodbye 2013

Pa John rang in the new year with us here in Dallas. We celebrated by hitting a local playground and lunching at an Irish Pub. Tomorrow, he heads home for Los Angeles. It's been a wonderful week together!

Walker took this photo of me and my Dad.

Christmas at the Fort Worth Stockyards

Spent some time today watching the long horns take to the streets at the Fort Worth Stockyards! The place was packed but we managed to wriggle our way to the front porch of a cantina where we enjoyed a beer and taco dinner with the boys, who were very well behaved. It was definitely a fun way to spend the afternoon.

Christmas 2013

We hope that all of you had a very very Merry Christmas! We have an abundance of images to share with you from the past four days in Dallas with Pa John and the Greenman Four. Needless to say, we've been having a ball.
