She's 4!!!

This past Saturday we celebrated R.'s fourth birthday!!! Wow! What a wonderful blessing our little R. is! We pray that this little "jewel" will grow more and more in her love for Jesus and others. WE LOVE YOU, R!

Whoa!

E. gets a kick out of optical illusions! How does it do that?

Eight Years Ago!

Last week we celebrated A.'s 8th birthday! We thank the Lord for her! She truly is a precious gift and a great joy! May she love the Lord with all her heart, soul, mind and strength--even at this young age!

Do you know what a genome is?

Saturday, at the International Museum of Art and Science (IMAS), the kids and I enjoyed checking out this new exhibit called Genome: The Secret of How Life Works. It was a great interactive and educational exhibit. We are going to go back and use some of the lesson plans from here to prepare us to get the most out of it.

Hold Your Sides...This is FUNNY!

Ha---hahahahaha!

Flat Stanley Visits the Valley

Ok, for a dear family in South Carolina, we were asked to show 'ole Flat Stanley around the Valley. So, can you figure out some of the fun places he was able to visit and some new things he was able to do?

Stanley was able to...

1) Stand in a sago palm;

2) Visit a border crossing to Mexico;

3) Become acquainted with the local crops: aloe and sugar cane;

4) Visit the Marine Military Academy;

5) Look at the many colorful Murals in our downtown district;

6) Check out the Border Patrol Station;

7) Climb a mesquite tree;

8) Go "birding" at a nature park;

9) Hike a trail at a nature park;

10) Climb a Christmas tree;

11) Go to the Texas Travel Information Center;

12) Find the way to the beach;

Have fun!

P.S. Flat Stanley is wearing the Texas Longhorn cap and the Texas A&M jersey which signify the two most popular college teams in the area...I bite my tongue...(Go Red Raiders!)

Happy Birthday, S!!!!

Six years ago, we were blessed by the birth of our super special S-man! He is full of energy and curiousity! We rejoice in watching him grow and discover new things everyday. To see life through S's adventurous eyes is a great way to get a renewed perspective on life! We thank the Lord for our Little Man!
