The Kids

Oliver is really growing fast, he's 13.5 lbs and a real charmer.

Hello from San Antone


Hi there!

Please, bare with me as I get the hang of this blogging business. I am sure one day the kids will laugh at my ineptitude at such things. This just really seems like a great way to keep in touch with you all as we spend this time away.

Well, San Antonio is GREAT!! Yes, hot as the dickens, but we really love it. It is so hard to believe that we have lived here nearly a month already. Time sure does fly when you are unpacking and wrangling two children under the age of two! Our new home is perfect for us and the kids really seem comfortable here. Estelle especially loves the ability to go to and from her room whenever she pleases. The house is nestled in a peculiar little development. Surrounded by lots of rural-esque wooded areas, there is no shortage of wild life. Though the days are very warm, the evening shade and breeze is quite pleasant. On our evening walks, it's very common to see deer and other creatures grazing and lying about. It's really neat.

Brian unofficially began his schooling today. He had an all day orientation at the VA hospital where he'll be doing rotations, then Monday is the official start of school at UT for him. It has really been great to have him home as we've started to settle here, but I know he is ready to dive in to this experience. I guess it has really been more like vacation for us since the move - so work begins for me, too, on Monday!!! I am ready.

Hope this finds you blessed and well!
