Heading Back to Illinois

Mary and I have really enjoyed our stay in Texas, and are looking forward to the move--though leaving all our families will be bitter-sweet. We are very sad to be leaving Gene behind in Texas, but I must return to Herscher and get Mary back into her routine. Gene and I have made some major headway in the potty training department! I'm hoping to continue all the work we've done at home. The picture above is of Mary's and Daddy's favorite hide-n-seek spot in the new house.

Lazy Christmas Day

Mary certainly enjoyed Christmas this time around. She was thrilled with all of the presents Santa brought her, but she is particularly fond of her new Barbie guitar and her Handy Manny tool set. She is rarely found without one or the other. Aside from present time, the day has been very fun and relaxing. Marry and daddy took a walk around the neighborhood while mommy rested. The weather was very nice here today, approaching 70 degrees. We miss everybody back home, but, all in all, it's been a very special Christmas here in our new home.

Hello from Texas

Gene and I wanted to start this blog, so all of our family and friends can keep tabs on our family as we make plans to move to Texas. Mary and I are visiting Gene in our new home in Arlington. Though it's not super warm here, it's definitely warmer than Illinois, where have read is about 7 below. It's a breezy 40 degrees here. Throughout the next few weeks, we plan to customize this blog with pictures and witty anecdotes, so please stay tuned.

Love,

Angie
