Hottie

Donovan has learned a new vocabulary word. He has introduced the word "Hottie" into his repertoire. I asked him what it meant and he told me "pretty girl"!! Oh Man! :)

Anyway, Big Nick comes in one week. Hopefully, we will be able to fit some fun into his time here although both Christopher and I have our regular teaching/work schedule. And D has school. I know at least one of the evenings we will be celebrating D's 6th birthday! Can you believe he's so old already? I can't.

I am uploading video from today's flag football game as we speak, so check my youtube link to see some of the action.

We love you all, T

D's Science Experiment

So, I was hanging out watching tv and Donovan comes up to me with a sheet of paper with his "science experiment plan". Its for an ocean in his room. I had to turn off the tv and (OF COURSE) share his plan with you all. Neither Christopher or I helped him with it. Just so you can decipher it.....1. is water, 2. is sand, 3. is oil and 4 is a tube. The picture at the bottom shows how it all goes together.

More football pics!

I also put a video of D practicing on my youtube channel (link to the right). T

Sorry!

Hello,

Okay, so I haven't been too good about posting! Sorry about that. Will try to do better. I do have a new camera, so I at least will be able to share good pict

ures again.

The one below is of Donovan after his last flag football game. Its been lots of fun. And also the reason why I have a new camera. D ALMOST scored a TD and we did not have it recorded for prosperity. Christopher got on the computer that day and started the research for my new Canon! I won't be missing the next TD attempt! :)

Anyway, all is good here with us. D, Christopher and me are all suffering from Spring allergies, but are enjoying the warmer weather. It was a cold winter in Texas this year!

We went to Seattle last month and had a blast with the family there. We ate well, saw some sights (Pike Place Market, Pacific Science Center) and just enjoyed hanging out. My conference was good too! :) I'll post the pics that D's "Grandaddy" took in the slideshow.

Last thing, we have a new pet. Its a guinea pig named Hammie! Christopher's been wanting to get D a guinea pig for a long time now, and the other night was the right time I guess. It didn't hurt that we were on our way home from celebrating Christopher's paper being accepted in one of his field's top journals! Nothing like good news putting you in the mood for buying ANOTHER pet, huh? We now have a guinea pig, 2 frogs, many fish, a turtle and a dog ! :)
