A Fun Visit

We recently had a fun visit from my mom and her husband Val. If any of you know my mother, you know how much she doesn't appreciate being photographed. So, I expect to get an urgent phone call from her soon telling me to remove this picture. But, until then, here it will remain :)

We were able to visit the Clinton Library while they were here and spent a beautiful day at Petit Jean Mountain State Park.

Fall in Arkansas

I love the Fall!

This tree was glowing the other day when I drove past it and I just had to take a picture.

We have decided on a moving date. Beau has 9 days off in the middle of December so we will be leaving Arkansas on the 16th.

As long as they are, we love these cross-country road trips. This time we will see the Grand Canyon, cross Hoover Dam and we will get to go through Vega, TX.

Vega, Texas, you ask???

The tiny town of Vega was the focus of a silly reality TV show a few years ago called "Popularity Contest" and is also the home of Rory Schepisi's restaurant. Rory was my favorite contestant on the show and was recently a finalist in the most recent "Next Food Network Star" which I also watched faithfully. Way too much TV, I know! But, I am giddy about going through Vega!

We'll let you know what our new address is very soon.

Off to snow in Nevada! Yay!

Pumpkin Patch 2007

We had a lot of fun visiting a pumpkin patch in Mayflower, Arkansas last month!

10 Years Old!

Megan had a birthday last month...and, yes, I am a procrastinator. Should have posted this a while ago. Anyway, Miss Megan has entered double digitdom. She is pretty proud of that.

I was just remembering that last year at about this time we were having a discussion about whether or not she should get a later bedtime. Her most compelling argument was,

"Mo-om! I'm almost a pre-teen."

Oh, really???

"Well, I'm almost old...so, um...no."

Actually, Megan is probably now due for an extension on her bedtime. She really is getting big!

She is such a unique and talented girl and lots of fun to have in our family!
