Pics that didn't make the Christmas Card Cut

Here are some of the pics over the past few months that missed the cut for the Christmas Card, but are still worth a good look. Enjoy!

As you can see, there really was only one other alternative, this bottom one here. However, as long as she is smiling and the picture is in focus, she can be pretty photogenic.

back online...Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

As my beautiful wife had aluded to in a post last week, we finally got a new computer at home, which makes this much easier to do. The blog will be back and better than ever in 2010 thanks to my new iMac!

Face Painting!

SKB is not into the "face" painting part yet. Here is Santa on her arm.

Sofia and Becca both chose reindeer!

Becca didn't go all the way.

Breakfast with Santa

Susan Kate and her two BFFs--Sofia and Becca--had breakfast with Santa at Royal Oaks Country Club. Susan Kate told Santa she wanted a "baby doll". Hope Santa comes through for her!

No Excuses But Here's December in a Nutshell

Since watching the movie, Julie and Me, and hearing so many comments from my friends about my lack of blogging. I am turning over a new leaf. It also helps we finally got a new home computer. Here is the month of December. More to come, soon.

4th of July Parade

Susan Kate and her parents went to the annual 4th of July parade in Lakewood, and got to see all the intersting parade floats, the old cars and the firetrucks. SKB had a great time picking up the candy the kids threw her way and waving her little American Flag.

Safari time!

SKB and her parents went to Fossil Rim Wildlife park in Glen Rose. We talked to the animals...

Pool time

Here are Susan Kate and Rebecca playing at the pool. SKB had been a bit scared of the pool at the beginning of the season, but she's gotten used to it and enjoys playing and trying to swim without getting her hair wetl, just like her mom...

After a long night of partying, here they are about to have some pancakes...
