Triathlon!

Say Hey Blogtrotters,

What a monumentous weekend!  The girls saved up money they received from  to Mema (my grandmother)  and we took them to get their first bikes.  They love them so much and can really ride with ease (training wheels).  So when you think about it they've already completed in their first triathlon, if you include running around the toy store and taking a bath later that night.  Oh, Papa Morris, we hope you're proud.  Other than the this terrible cedar allergy that hits us every january and february, we're doing great!

PS- Lightning in the class "pet" that you get to take home after being line leader for the week. We think the teachers are trying to make up for the girls missing out on being line leader for the first half of the year. We've been line leaders the past 4 of 6 weeks.

Say Hey Blogsters,

What a wild 2 months!  Abby started her dream job of being the librarian at Region 6 of the EPA.  It's a pretty big deal.  Other than loving it and actually enjoying her job (what a novel idea),  she's also bringing home the big bucks.  I'm happy to report that our bank account increased for the first time in 5 years!  

Here we are at the new Perot Science Museum with Abby's Nene, Papa,  sister Sarah and cousins Jack and Emma.   If you're reading this and interested we've got a membership, hit us up if you're interested in going.

Jack and the girls.  Abby's building is the triangular one. 

Umm...I kind of love that Emma.

Tilly-- she made an animal track.

Hey Hey,

Great weekend.  It rained for 36 hours straight!  We got to go the Frontiers of Flight museum (Thanks Smithsonian Day!) on Saturday and on Sunday we went to the arboretum despite the rain.   enjoy.

Fancy Glass and Rain!

Here's the Team,

The weather has be just beautiful for the past week or so!  Rain and relatively cool temperatures, occasionally down less than hot!  We finally got around to see the Chiluly glass at the arboretum last week.  The camera died, but the girls got to go the next day with Papa and Neners.  I can't recommend it enough! That junk is mind blowing awesome style.  It's also supposed to be really nice at night when it is lit.  In the middle are some pictures of the girls playing in puddles with neighbor Baby Kate and Baby Andrew, although neither are really babies anymore.  Jill Johnson, if you are reading this: yes, those are the raincoats you gave them for their first birthday.  I hope it makes you happy that they have been passed on to our neighbors for fun rainy day play!  

Hugs not drugs people!

Sister, Sister!

Museum Day

Say Hey Friends,

    Labor Day Weekend and we made it to 2 museums, the Nasher and the FW Science Museum.  first a rant about FWS.  We had free tickets for the girls from summer reading, so I took them.  It cost $5 to park and $16 for an adult ticket!  The girls saw a stuffed polar bear and started crying minute 1.  If I had known it was going to be that much, I would have agreed to take them home!  (in their defense it is remodeled and totally awesome).  The Nasher, however was super great and had this roped together tunnel will with balls from a children's ball pit.  Everyone loved it. 

     If this 7 day heat wave lifts we'll go to the zoo on Saturday.

I told them lungs help you breath.

We usually breath like this.
