Shannon locked out of house

I don't have any pictures but it is too funny of a story to pass up. Landry has recently taken to acting like a "doggy", which basically involves, crawling around on her hands and knees, barking, rolling over, etc. Pretty much acting a fool. As part of acting like a "doggy" you of course have to use the doggy door at every opportunity. So she thinks it is hilarious to go in and out the the doggy door. So, Landry and Shannon are outside on the the patio this morning. Landry decides to go back into the house via the doggy door. She comes back around to the back door, pulls it closed and locks it - leaving Shannon locked out of the house, with no keys, or way back in the house. Apparently, it took some serious coaxing to get Landry to unlock the door and let her back in the house!

I will also add this video from a few nights ago with Landry blowing a horn and making Ian belly laugh. Ian thinks that his sister is the funniest thing ever, and just beams when she is around. Landry continues to pay little to no attention to him, but seems to be getting better - especially when she gets a reaction like this one!

Afternoon Bike Ride

We loaded the kids up last week in the trailer that Shannon got me for Christmas. This was an adventure in itself. I had to go get my moutain bike worked on since it was in some amount of disrepair and put the trailer together. But the kids loved it. May try and make it a weekend ritual. It was good exercise too!


Somebody always has fun reading her books!


A shot of Ian on the close up!

Snowy goes to time out

Landry informed us that Snowy had been mean to Giraffe and she had been placed in time out. Apparently, she gets the idea of the consequence. She is getting much more creative in the crazy stuff that she comes up with!

Updated Easter Pics

These are from our trip to San Antonio, plus some favorites from the easter egg hunt, plus a funny video right after Ian and Landry got their Easter baskets. Landry was trying to be sweet and show Ian his new book, but I can't help but laugh when she yanks the book out of his hands.

Easter Sunday Message

We went to church with the Laissle's at Bandera Road Christian Church(The church that rocks!) and they lived up to their name. They have an rocking band that was a lot of fun.

They played this video which I tracked down on the web. Pretty good stuff.


I think this is done be a group called Igniter Media.

Isn't he cute?

Ian is now five months old and getting so big so fast! He is trying to sit up and is very busy. Now, if he would just sleep through the night......

Greenways Easter Egg Hunt

Easter is almost here and the kids got to enjoy a fun neighborhood Easter Egg hunt on Saturday.

Santa Fe

We took a great family trip to Santa Fe last weekend. Shannon parents flew in from San Antonio and my parents went with us a s well. We rented a house Just north of the main square area that was absolutely gorgeous. Big bay windows and great views of the city.



We had great weather for the weekend. We were able to mess around in town, do some shopping, and of course the art galleries. Jason skied on Saturday on a gorgeous day with now clouds in the ski.


We were surprised by a little bit of snow before we left so we got to play in the snow at the house as well.

4 months of maintenance down . . .

Lots of folks have asked how my Dad is doing and I haven't been very good about keeping an update on this site. We are officially in the no news is good news state so there is not a whole lot to report.

The good news is that it has been 4 months since he started his maintenance drugs. There are some side affects during the time he is taking them - general nasueau, itchy skin, but all manageable. 4 months down also means 4 months of monthly blood checks where all of the lab work is looking normal. He will continue this course for the next 8 months and then do a full reevaluation.

Overall, Dad looks great. He is back playing raquetball every day at the athletic club and doing a lot of travleing with my Mom. Most of the time he has a normal appetite. Although, his hair has come back for the most part - he opted to keep it shaved, sporting the bald look around town. I think it is more that he realized his bald spot was bigger than he thought!

Thanks to all for the many prayers for our family. We are ever thankful for the amazing support that we continue to recieve.
