A trip through memory lane!

Hi All,

Here are some pictures of where I lived throughout my life!

- I was born in New York City!


- Moved to Northwood, England. Fish and Chips Restaurant was on the right side down the street! Grandfather took the train into London daily.

- Moved to Pittsburgh, Pennyslvania . This is the elementary school Uncle Chuck went to, but with a new facelift!


- Moved to Houston, Texas...
- Moved to College - Baylor University, Waco, Texas

- Moved to Ft. Worth after college graduation. This is University Baptist Church where I was a member - the church has had a facelift since I went there.

- Moved back to Houston...Met Dad, married, and had three kids!
- Moved to Kingwood, Texas . K - I - N - G - W - O - O - D was the first word Jennifer learned to spell!



- Moved to St. Peters, Missouri (St. Louis area). Here is the RecPlex skating rink where the kids spent a lot of time.



- Moved back to Houston. Kids and mom went to Mayde Creek High School.


What will be next? And who or what will get the next facelift?

Christmas Fun!

Hi Everyone,

Wow, we had a great Christmas! It was in 5 parts this year. We enjoyed Danielle being an official member of the family this year too! I enjoyed having all the kids home for Christmas, and I appreciate everyone bearing with me with all my traditions --- PJ's, Christmas Bingo, opening one gift at a time, Bible reading, and the annual giving of thank you notes. Our 5 main functions included...

1. Brunch at our house!
2. Dinner at Red Lobster!
3. Christmas Bingo with Skittles, Gift giving amongst the siblings, Gift giving between the parents - that would be John and Patti!
4. Santa gift opening!
5. Dinner, singing, and gift giving at Mom and Dad's house!

I will post some pictures on this blog entry tomorrow. I am just too darn tired right now to do it.

Why should you come home for Christmas?

Hi Kids,

There are many reasons to come home for Christmas, such as, cookies, the family Bible reading, Him or Her, presents, Jimmy and Ashley, popcorn and poinsettas, pictures of old friends, or maybe even to see your mom and dad!
Can't wait until all of you are home! See you soon.

Love you.
Mom
