What's new?

With Greg: Busy at work and interviewing to add to his staff. Trying to lose weight so he can buy a Harley. (Don't ask.)

With Karen: Has been busy decorating around the house, especially in Hunter's room and just trying to stay caught up.

With Hunter: LOVES 4th grade and his new teacher. Getting ready to start his football season in a couple week. Still waiting to find out what team. He also has a big birthday coming up - 10!

With Dylan: Getting in the Kindergarten groove. It's been a challenge for her, but she is showing signs of adjustment and improvement. She loves all the homework and school supplies. She is going to a new friends birthday party on Saturday.

With Pickles: She is going to have her "surgery" on Friday. Maybe it will slow her down a little bit. We can hope, right?

19 Years

Greg and I will be celebrating our 19 year wedding anniversary on September 9. We are celebrating a little earlier and getting away for the night. Just headed across town to the Westin Galleria and a nice dinner at Fogo de Chao and maybe an un-kid movie.

Erica had her baby!

My long-time friend Erica had a sweet baby boy - Drew Hudson. Who knew such a small girl could have such a big baby - 9 lbs. 9 oz. and 21.75". He is super cute.

Labor Day.

We started the day cleaning up the backyard. Afterall, it is Labor Day. Greg cooked a brisket and ribs and we mixed that up with red potato salad, grillin' beans (a huge family favorite), olive bread, squash bake and homemade pineapple orange ice cream. We enjoyed the last long weekend for a while in the pool and watching pickles wear herself out swimming.

Back to School.

Hunter is back to school and Dylan joins him this year. They were both really excited on the first day and couldn't wait to get with it.



Hunter back with a couple of ol' familiar faces.
