It's About Time

Dad had a long wait for his Christmas present from us this year. Todd had the "perfect gift" in mind, but found an upgraded version after we bought the original... We ordered the upgraded version, and after much teasing about not having a present, Dad finally got it.It's a brake-bleeder. So now, instead of waiting for us to drop by to have Todd help bleed the brakes on one of his bugs, he can do it himself! It really is a wonder that he didn't already have one of these.

More "About Time"...

All Todd wanted for Christmas from me was a watch. He even got to pick out the exact watch he wanted. But, I noticed that everywhere we went shopping for other presents, he was looking at huge wall clocks. He wanted one that was "classic with numbers." So, while I was out grocery shopping one evening, I saw one. Surprise! Todd is so good at getting me little treats when I least expect them. It was nice to get him something he didn't expect.

And this is Rollei on our trip to Sulphur Springs...

I would imagine he's thinking "Isn't it About Time to be there?"

Have a great week!

2 Months

I noticed that it has been right under 2 months since my last post, so I should have something to say by now. But, as I prefer pictures, I will let the pictures tell every one's take on Christmas. I apologize to those whose picture I did not get. I was a little camera-lazy this time around.

Rollei:

Our neighbors: (I should have waited until he moved the white truck. You don't get to see the blow-up tree!)
The Girls:

The guys:

Todd:
This was Thanksgiving...Hope all you kind readers had a great Holiday! Happy New Year.

Some Rollei & Todd Pictures

This one was a few days ago when before he was sick.

These are from this evening. (Todd is feeling a little better now.)

You'll have to ask Todd why there are no Natalie & Rollei pictures! You know, he's the official photographer!!

Just watch!

October

O-C-T-O-B-E-R

This is the month of the candy bar.

Christopher Columbus has a holiday.

Fall is here...

Winter's on the way!!

That's the only "month rhyme" I know. If anyone out there knows any more, please tell me! I would love to learn some others.

Todd loves this time of year. He always gets excited about Halloween and all the gross scary stuff. I prefer cute ghosts and pumpkins over the graveyard scenes with blood and guts. These are the sidewalk lights we put up each year. The skulls are Todd's, and the pumpkins are mine!


Today was one of those days that I wish I had brought my camera with me when I left the house. First, as we drove through a shopping center, we saw this older man driving right along with traffic on is lawnmower... no grass in sight! After that, we went into the 99-cent store for me to buy some plastic storage containers for my classroom. As I walked the isles, I noticed this 7"X5" Pocket calculator. I guess the pockets run much larger in China than they do here, even in Texas!

I hope everyone is having a great start to Fall. Have a great week!!

Spread Beagle!

Rollei, mind the way you sit! Sheesh!

By the way... Rollei is spelled that way because he is named after a camera. Ever heard of the Rolleiflex?

A day with Grandma

We took a short trip to visit Grandma a few Sundays ago. We had a little birthday celebration for her, but most importantly, we enjoyed spending time together. Here are a few pictures of the day.

A blog of so few words? You're not disappointed.

Have a great week!!
