Quick Updates

Check out Jackson's valentines we made. I stole the idea from Pinterest.com.

Someone from church found this picture on her phone! Looks at those chubby arms!


1. Trip to PA last week was great, but tiring. A grueling 3 days in front of the client, hammering out requirements for our new contract. Glad to be home!

2. Current house project - painting our closet the same color as our bathroom. Go Pete!

3. Swim meet this Saturday at UALR...Jack in morning, Gray in the afternoon. Last chance for Gray to get a couple of state times that she is close to.

4. Working down our Goal List for 2012 - purchase a car. That was accomplished 3 weeks ago. It is a joint 20 year anniversay gift for Pete and me. I am now the proud owner of a white 2004 BMW 530i. With less than 47,000 miles on it. WAY better gas mileage than the Yukon, which, by the way, I cannot part with ....just yet.

5. Gray has a boyfriend. We got the entire report from Friday's Wampus cat basketball game. Evidently there was hand holding, and sweaty palms. She cracks me up.

6. Bo is digging holes all over the backyard.

7. I finally finished reading "The Poisonwood Bible." I almost quit several times, but glad I made a pact with myself to finish it. Mom - it did get better!

8. Pete actually thanked me for forcing him to buy new jeans.

9. Will post a picture soon of Jackson's valentine box. It rivals the Shrek creation from Kindergarten.

10. Not a spec of snow in Conway yet this year.


Love to all..D

Lots of good info and family updates! Love the Valentine. How about Gracie and boyfriend! Tell her we met Nate's girlfriend at the spaghetti dinner on Friday. She's very cute and sweet looking. Of course, Nate abandoned us to go and sit with her family!:) Glad to hear that your PA trip was a success. Love to you four. M and D, N and P

Finally, things slowed down enough
here to look at your blog. All
of you as busy as ever! Glad Pete
got new jeans. Like his Dad, loves
the old ones - soft and molded to
the body. But, there is a time to
give them up for new ones. Gracie
and Ash could compare notes on
boyfriends. Boyfriends? Can't believe that they are at that stage
already!! Very creative, Jack, your
valentine for your teacher!!
Glad your trip was good, Denise!
Cheers to y'all! Love, N&P, M&D
