February 22nd

This was Grandma's last day in town with us. She and the boys went for a walk and played in the backyard for quite a while.

February 21st

It took forever for me to get a decent picture of Grandma pushing Charlie back and forth in this truck. Many of the pictures are of Charlie with his eyes closed. I guess he is taking after Bobo. :)

February 19th

Grandma took the boys on a walk almost every day that she was here. They loved it and boy did they sleep well after getting all of that fresh air!

February 17th

Ronny is my guitar hero. Here he is playing the game I got him for Valentine's Day. After he went on a work trip, I got to play it too. It is really fun.

February 14th - Happy Valentine's Day

I don't remember ever celebrating this when I was a kid, but the kids got king cake today for snacktime and there was a Mardi Gras parade at the daycare center complete with hand-made feather masks and beads. They were playing with the beads on Thursday morning, which was the day of the shuttle launch. You can see the shuttle on the launch pad on TV behind Jack.

January 27th - Christmas with the Baccus Family

We made a road trip to Bellville, TX to hang out with the entire Baccus clan. We all had a great time!

The boys...

Here the boys are playing with our babysitter, Nona. She is a teacher at the boys' school. Jack used to call her Donut in the old days. (You know, when he was 2.)

January 18th - Don't buy cakes from Krogers

I got some cupcakes for one of Charlie's teachers and the blue frosting turned his face and hands green. It took quite a bit of scrubbing in the bathtub to return Charlie to his usual color. No more cakes from Krogers and no more cakes with bright colored frosting for the little ones.

January 6th - Visit with Nana and Papa

Nana and Papa came for a visit. We showed them the new Wii that I got for Christmas and taught them how to bowl. Nana did great and won the game!

January 5th - The big gift

We got this bounce house for the kids. It only takes seconds to inflate, but the second that it did, it started to rain.

Jack got a dress up trunk for Christmas. He can dress up as a police officer, fire fighter, pirate, or cowboy. If we only had an Indian we could do the YMCA.
