Just a quick word of thanksgiving to Aunt B, Kellie, and Laura (whom I didn't realize was there until I saw a picture via Sandra's phone) for giving John and Katherine such a memorable Thanksgiving. They have not stopped talking about this and that thing that did, saw, or eat.

Thanks for carrying on this family tradition (Elizabeth must surely be pleased) with our kids.

Thanks,

Jim and Sandra

Our first hike

One week til BI

One week from today the first of us will arrive on the block. Here are some photos from 2007. Christine suggested that we think of some new activities for this year. We came up with more happy hours!

Proof we were in Italy

I know Bridget has been wanting copies of Italy pictures. I am trying to work on that, for the time being I will post a few here. It was a great trip and Laura made it all the more memorable. Laura, I would ask for the rules to your card game, but I do not really believe they exist. I hope ya'll have a great time at Block Island. There are probably a few other geocaches out there.

If anyone see Claire, have her finish our Words with Friends game. I have even added a puzzle to the blog. Name the statue and artist. Have a great summer.

Thanksgiving Festivities

Hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend. Here are some pictures of our Austin activities. We started off with the Turkey Trot on Thursday morning. Then we spent the rest of the day cooking and eating the turkey and watching football. Today we hiked Enchanted Rock with the Lackeys. After the hike we cooked out, it was a nice day.
