The Fall season came and went, and here we find ourselves at the beginning of February with Punxsutawney Phil seeing his shadow, letting us know we have 6 more weeks of winter! Groundhog Day was my dads favorite movie. I love it when this holiday comes along and I have a chance to reminisce about my dads smile and how he would laugh so hard at the movie that it turned into one of those red faced breathless laughs. He had such a joyful heart and I miss him terribly. Recently Dublyn has been having 'bouts of cold heartedness towards Chad when he is wanting so badly just to love on her ... I used to do that to my dad. I would give anything to give him a hug these days. I let her know how short our time is here on earth and that we need to do everything in our power to show love when we can! I want time to slow down in so many ways but we are blessed to be living it at our best.
OCTOBER:
- Fall Baseball for Dublyn
- Fall Soccer for Wrigley and Bryce
- Layne was their biggest fan, sporting an enthusiastic mohawk
- Chad started a new job with Katy ISD on the flip side of the construction industry
- We sadly parted ways with my favorite new car (Ford Expedition Max - side note, WAY more room than a suburban which I never thought was possible) and settled for 2 small, used cars to adjust to a new norm
- All Hallows Eve is always a good time (Wrigley was the grim reaper, Bryce was a soccer player, Dublyn was a rainbow uniorn, and Layne humored us with numerous costume changes, eventually landing on a zombie)
NOVEMBER:
- It wouldn't be FALL without some Aggie football in the mix. We took the big boys to College Station
- Mama was made proud by Wrigley joining the Altar Server ministry at St. Bartholomew's
- Thanksgiving in Dallas is always a happening time with cousins! It's such a blessing to have family who love each other and want to spend time together
- Boys went camping with Troops of St. George
- Celebrated our cute pup, Nashville, turning one years old
DECEMBER:
- Lots of hot tub nights spent waiting for Christmas
- Drove to San Antonio to spend Christmas with the Rolling Family! It was a covid Christmas but one that will never be forgotten with so many shared laughs and smiles. Again, we are truly blessed. We took our first official family pictures (my hair didn't cooperate but the kids sure did look fantastic).
- Mom and Bill rang in the New Year with us in Katy.
FAST FORWARD through JANUARY (just some hunting for the boys):
- It's February and we are well into a WINTER baseball league for Wrigley and Bryce with Valentines Day and Lent on the horizon. Let's GO!!!!
