last day of 2008

Today is New Year's Eve. Shelli and I will have my parents visiting over the next few days. It will be good to see them and, of course, for them to spend time with Kailey.

I have been in West Texas for a few days hunting at a deer lease with my brother-in-law and father-in-law. We had a very good hunt.

Pictures From Christmas 2008

Is it really almost Christmas?!?

This last month has gone by so fast. I've taken way too much time away from my postings on the Blog. Thanksgiving was great. We spent most of it in Mississippi with family. Since then, we have bounced between various holiday parties, Christmas shopping, and a trip to Washington DC.

Some pictures of Kailey in late November with "Monty the Monkey" are at:

This is one of them:

Next, it was time for the CITGO Christmas party. It was at the Downtown Houston Aquarium. These pictures are at:

Next, I had to spend the week in Washington DC for work. Kailey didn't make the trip with me, but Shelli was able to come for a few days. These pictures are at:

Finally, we have to talk for a minute about the important stuff...What is Kailey doing now? She keeps adding words, sentences, and understanding to her personality. She helps keep Bailey's dog food bowl full and has become quite handy with letting him in and out of the back door. To our delight, she has learned a very important word, "yes". This has been a great compliment to what was her favorite word, "no". With Christmas just a few days away, I should have another picture-full update shortly.

From our house to all of our friends and family; Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
