William's Blog

Now it's William's turn to join the blogging world. He has officially started his own blog. Check it out here and be sure to leave him a comment or two. I know he'll really like that.

Oh, and for those who brought it to my attention...Nicole's blog comments have changed. Now anyone can leave her a comment, though it still has to be approved by me first before it's published. Same with William's blog.

By the way, these blogs are completely their own creation. No help from me except spelling.

End of September Update

We've been quite busy these last few weeks. We've been traveling a lot; we're getting a little sick of the car, I think. But it needs to be done. Right now Keith is in San Antonio, and me and the kids are just chilling out at my mom's. I just don't like to stay home by myself. Anyway...

Well, we are at just about 20% with our monthly donations. It's not bad, but we were hoping to be further along. The sooner we get that in, the sooner we can depart. Our calendar is filling up with meetings, so hopefully that will help get us further along. I'll update again when it changes. Also, it's almost time for another newsletter, so be on the lookout for those. Well, guess that's it.

He's Finally Walking!!!

William's Wild Party

OK, maybe it wasn't exactly wild, but he (and the rest of the kids) had a lot of fun.

For all who don't know... We went down south for a week for meetings and visiting family. We had a great time, but it's good to be home, even if it's only for a few days. While down at my sister's we celebrated William's 8th birthday. We invited friends and family...grilled hot dogs, had a moonwalk and water slide, and the kids got to smash their first pinata! So, here's a few pictures of the party.

Here's the cake I made. It's a little sad looking, but it tasted good!

My sister's friends had a moonwalk and water slide, so they let us borrow it for the party. I don't know what we would have done without them! They were the highlight of the party.

I was really proud of the pinata. We stuffed it full of candy and little trinkets. So, here it is before the bashing.

And here it is after.

So, I'll leave with this little video of the kids having their pinata fun.

9/5/07 Update

I realized this morning that I haven't posted in a while. I don't want everyone to stop reading just because I forget to update the blog. So, I'm gonna update as best I can, since not much exciting has happened.

We spent Labor Day with my parents (surprising, I know). We had a nice time swimming and eating way too much good food. They had some friends over, too, so it was a nice visit all around. She took some good pictures and video, so I'll try to get them when we go next time and post them.

Tomorrow we're heading down to Corpus Christi to my sister's house and then the next week to Kingsville to Keith's parents house. We have some meetings to go to, plus we're gonna have a birthday party for William on Saturday. His birthday is actually on the 10th, but this way everyone can come including some friends of ours in Corpus. My parents will be going down tomorrow as well. It should be lots of fun. I'll try and post some pictures of the party next week.

September's gonna be a busy traveling month for us. We have lots of different places to go, which I'm looking forward to. It's nice to be busy.

Guess that's about it for this update. So, until the next one...
