first day of school

School started the day after we got home from TX and I couldn't have been more ready for it! We did all of our school shopping a few hours after we landed and I thought Joe was going to have an anxiety attack from doing so. We finished all the shopping and got home to Joe having fajitas ready to cook for us. It was a great evening.
Wed. the kids were tired but ready to see their friends at school. Abby has half day K, so she was dying because she had to wait forever! Sam and I are enjoying our 3 hours of peace!!

A month in Texas

WOW! So we spent our summer in Texas and had a lot of fun visiting everyone! I would of loved to do some more site seeing with the kids but we'll have to save it for our future trips. Our trip began with my little sisters wedding and it was absolutely beautiful. Cheyenne and Abby had so much fun being in their aunts wedding! Joe was able to spend sometime with his family and he definitely needed that! After we dropped Joe off at the airport we drove up to McKinney, north of Dallas, to visit all of our family there. On our way back from Dallas to Houston we stopped at the Sam Houston Monument and for the first time in my life I got to see the statue up close. It was very neat and the kids thought it was pretty cool. So really we visited family and friends and had a good time doing it.
I missed Joe very much so I'm not sure that I will ever take another trip that long without him! I was an emotional basket case which doesn't work well with me so I'm glad that torture is over!! Thanks to everyone who let us sleep at their homes and for all the sleepovers with the kids. We love and hope to see all of you soon on your new video phones that you are going to get! :) http://christyhall.acnrep.com
