We drove an hour north to visit a Sunflower field. There was also a big bouncy thing.
Molly = ‘Male = Tamale
On Saturday, we went to the Houston Humane Society and looked at all the dogs. There were lots of too loud, too hyper and jumpy dogs, but the chihuahua mix wing seemed to be much calmer. We looked at a minitiature pinscher and chihuahua mix, named Roscoe, but he was a little too much for us. Ella and Keith went […]
Evan’s Seventh Birthday
Evan picked BeniHana for dinner, even though it really doesn’t seem like they like it very much. Ella downed an entire order of Edamame and they both had ice cream. After dinner, we opened presents. Evan has previously not been a great present opener. He likes to get one open and then play with […]

Jill’s First Half Marathon
Very proud of my first 1/2 marathon. 13.1 miles in 2 hrs 27min (11.14/min miles). Especially considering how darned hot it was at the end. 80 degrees, full sun and the hills on Allen Parkway.
