Mary and the Park

Mary loves the park that is in our subdivision. Here are a few photos of us taking advantage of the Texas weather one of our first days here. Please notice the tutu...she's very proud of it--a nice hand-me-down from cousin Amzie. Notice the crusty nose in the bottom picture...Mary and I have some Texas allergies, and Zyrtec takes a few days to work its way through the system.

Our New Addition...

No, we didn't have the baby yet. Upon our arrival in Texas, we were greeted by the most interesting and surprising house warming gift. When Auntie Amy was helping us unpack, we heard what we thought was a mouse, but out from behind some boxes peeked a hamster. Amy was able to catch him with the aid of a carrot. Gene and I aren't the type of people to turn away a stray, so off to Petco we went. He or she (who can tell) is now a Kanak. Gene named him Boo Radley, and he is currently residing in our new home. Mary enjoys talking to him, and thinks he's "so silly." Our dog Sammy also likes our new pet, but we question her motivation at times.

We are finally all together again! With the help of my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, Mary, Sammy (our dog), and I made it here safe and sound. Even though it tore my heart out to leave my family and Herscher High School behind, Mary and I missed Geno terribly. I'll update pictures soon, so everyone can see our new home. Stay tuned...

Love,

Angie
