catching up...

Going to try and catch up on some pictures before we have the Halloween ones!

These are of Jorja from Oct 9th - 3 months old!!! She has been just a dream. She is such a happy baby, sleeps well, only cries when she is tired. Jerra has been so good with her as well.




Here is my "adorable" Jerra...



Jorja looking super cute in overalls!



And just for Louis...Jerra LOVES frogs! Dad found one in our backyard and Jerra was super excited!

The girls

Joy!

Obama pays Aggieland a visit...

It's not all that unusual for this town to have a president (or two) visit. It is just usually one that has the last name of "Bush." George H has his Presidential Library here on A&M's campus and George W has visited often. Today, under the invitation of George H, President Obama arrived. It was for a forum supporting volunteerism.

Now, Geoff is pretty much non-political, and I tend to lean to the far right. He was not my choice for President and I disagree with most of the things he says/wants/does. However, it is not very often you get the chance to see a sitting President speak...so, when the chance arose for a press pass through our magazine, I told Geoff to jump on it. Just another bonus for owning your own magazine!

The speech aired on tv here and it was a very good one. Everyone here loves George H and another local hero, Robert Gates (former A&M President and current Sec. of Defense) made a surprise appearance.
After the forum was over, I loaded the girls up into the car to pick Geoff up and we parked out at the George Bush Library to watch Marine 1 take off. The president was heading back to Houston to meet up with Air Force 1. They had 5 helicopters take off, so no one knew which one he was on. But it was a pretty cool site nonetheless.

Aggie Game day

I am a few weeks behind on my posts, so I am going to try and play catch-up over the next couple of days...

Starting with an Aggie Game day from Sept. 26th. We got some tickets to sit in the Zone Club thanks to Geoff's boss (thanks Louis!). Geoff and I took Jerra and the 2 grandpa's. Jerra is still in love with the Aggie Band, so we got there in time for March-in. She enjoyed the game, holding her arms out and saying: 'look at all the aggies!' Her favorite part was keeping track of Reveille on the field and watching the band.

waiting patiently for march-in to start

Are they coming yet?

I hear them!!!!

Here they come...

It's the aggie band!

just showing off the cute bow!

Happy Fall

Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin. God lifts you up, takes you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. He opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff-- including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for all the world to see. This was passed on to me from another pumpkin. Now, it is your turn to pass it to a pumpkin. Happy Fall!


Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
So love the people who treat you right.
Love the ones who don't just because you can.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.
Kiss slowly.
Forgive quickly.
God never said life would be easy.
He just promised it would be worth it.
