4th of July

We had a wonderful 4th of July visit to San Antonio. Too bad I didn't think to take any pictures of the cute bike parade, the afternoon swimming, barbeque at my sisters, or fireworks (possibly the first time I ever let my kids stay up after the sun went down) with Mike's brother Marc, my sister Lori, Erica Merrill and all family members associated with those previously mentioned. But I did capture a cute picture after lunch the day after :)

We had a great time with you guys here! Thanks for coming down. I was going to post my pictures today but my camera battery died, and I can't find the charger. I even unpacked 2 boxes looking for it, and found a lot of other things in the process. Go figure. - Chrissy

Quick thoughts

So I'm finally up with the times and have my own blog. You'd think if someone was a "webmaster" that they might be current with a full family history...

Now I'm frantically searching my mind for all those clever things my kids did and all those life changing thoughts that would really help all who read my little blog. Nothing.

Just two quick stories about both kids. Maybe then I can feel at ease knowing that my children's lives are adequately documented.

Jake has always been interested in numbers. He loves to ask random people (fellow shoppers at Wal-Mart, those who happen to stop next to us at a red light, etc) what their address is. Finally Jake discovered his life calling when we went through the Wal-Greens drive thru to pick up a prescription. Jake decided he would like to be the teller asking people for their address to verify their getting the correct prescription. We are in the process of getting him a store job application right now.

Afton has profound moments when I realize just how fast she is growing up. This week she saw a little girl walking with just her mom. She pointed at the little girl and said "Ohhh, that little girl doesn't have a brother." Let's just hope she always appreciates that she has a big brother!
