Soccer anyone??

Today was a good day for soccer. Lissa had her first scrimmage at Stevens today. She played a great game and scored a goal. She was surprised that a lot of the girls already knew who she was. The coach has been saying a lot of good things about her so everybody was looking forward to meeting her. Getting used to the high school atmosphere has not been easy but today she got a real confidence boost. She was very happy when she got home today.

I thought this picture was too cute not to share.

Now this is luck!!!

The Seine

The Eiffel Tower

I just talked to my brother-in-law and he was telling me about this 9 day cruise they won. They will fly straight through from Houston to Paris. They will stay in Paris for a day and a half. Then they take a seven day cruise down the Seine to the English Channel. Every day they will stop in a different town where an Impressionist artist lived and painted. They get to stay one day at the D-Day beaches in Normandy. Doesn't this sound like the trip of a lifetime?? I'm jealous...j/k. They both work very hard and really deserve this trip. I'm sure I'll have plenty of pictures and stories to show when they return.

Beautiful Corpus beach and sunset

Corpus vacation August 2007

We returned from our summer vacation yesterday. Everyone had a great time, except for the pets who had to be boarded. The beach was great with a light breeze blowing. The ocean water was warm and the waves were pretty strong, for me anyway. They knocked me down more than once. I also fell off a boogy board and every time I tried to stand up a wave would knock me back down. I thought I was going to drown (not really) the water was only waist deep but I did need help getting back on my feet. Just a little entertainment for the people up on the beach. We all had such fun and this was one of the best family vacations we have had.

Have a great day

This is the life!!

Oh to be a dog or a cat. They really have a tough life. Chewy has her backyard haven which she loves. Then Snuggles spends his day just laying around the house being cute. Pets are great stress relievers as well as good company. They will always be there for you .
