Today my sister Giny had a sweet baby boy. His name is William. He weighed 8lbs. 12oz. and was 21 inches long. We skyped with them after his birth and will get to hold him in about 7 weeks. We were sad not to be there, but are thankful that we got to see him and hear him cry through skype. Giny and the baby are doing great.




Today has been a very good day for Dave. We take advantage of days when he is feeling well. After his blood work this morning , we explored the city. We made a trip to Hobby Lobby to just look at all the Christmas stuff. We got some ornaments for the kids to paint. If you have ever visited us around the holidays, you know we love to decorate. We have several trees and lots of Christmas stuff. Since we will be in Houston for the holidays, we of course will not have all of our stuff. So I thought it would be good for us to make some things to decorate the apartment. Maybe have a real tree....I know, I know, it's only Nov. 3. I just can't help it. I love Christmas!!!!

We have had a nice afternoon of "family time". Our kids love some family time. Out here all we really have is family time. It's a good thing that we like to be together. The kids and I took a walk down to get a hot chocolate. Now we are working on putting a 1000 piece puzzle together. I'll leave you with a picture of family time :)
