Morehouse, the new addition to our family. Morehouse is a purebred Australian Shepherd that we rescued from the Houston SPCA.

Catching up!

My Uncle Mike and the boys yesterday!

Mining for gems at the farm in NC.
The boys are playing in corn at the farm. Its the first and last time they will get to do this activity! I am sure that girl who stuck her whole head in the corn had it in places that it shouldn't be! :)


Christopher and Nickolas on the plane.

That's Donovan's rear you see as he hikes the ball in one of their playoff games.

Howdy Y'all!

We've been busy busy busy. In the pics above and in the slideshow you can see some of our activities. Below are the highlights since my last post.

All of my boys ended last month with a bang. Nickolas won the two on two basketball championship at the Tracy McGrady basketball camp. Donovan's team, the Cowboys, won the flag football championship for the summer league. Christopher got a revise and resubmit for one of his articles.

We started this month with a trip to North Carolina to visit Grammy and Gramps (CP's mom and grandmother). Our activities included going to a farm, an amusement park (Carowinds), bowling and just hanging out. We had a great time. Thanks Grammy and Gramps for having us!

Now that we are back home, the boys have resumed their activities. Nickolas had Oozing, Bubbling science camp this week and Donovan has been to his reading and music classes. Next week they start swim lessons and Nickolas also attends a Drama camp. My dad, the newly retired Grandpa Freddie, arrives on Tuesday! We are looking forward to that.

Grandpa Freddie's brother, Uncle Mike, was in town this week so we got to spend some time with him and his girlfriend Pat. They got to meet Christopher and Nickolas for the first time which was great. Unfortunately, I think they might have no choice but to report back to the folks in Detroit that we are raising a wild child here in TX. Donovan was definitely showing his true colors! :) Its funny how 5 year olds can be cute and so unruly at the same time!

We love you all, T
