It's Official...

Our boys would move to Winnie in about two seconds if they were given the option. They absolutely love visiting my family and especially love all of the adventures offered by wide open spaces and the great outdoors.

We had a wonderful time catching up with everyone and truly left wishing for more time. I hope we never overstay our welcome and always want to go back.

Here are "the moments" we were able to capture. Thank you, Bryan, for bringing a tripod! I think this is the first family photo in at least 20 years.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas...

Our Christmas preparations became a reality when Mighty had his school Christmas program and Santa made a visit to our house. Our little reindeer spent most of his time waving at mommy during the Christmas songs and then proceeded to skip the Santa visit at our house because he had already seen Santa at his school the day before. Hopefully Santa doesn't hold a grudge!

Thanksgiving in Louisiana

We are thankful for... family, friends, good health, and the many other blessings bestowed upon us each and every day.

Security Guards

Our guys decided to go on a security patrol of Nan and Gran's house while they were in China. We couldn't resist snapping a few photos. The sunglasses are courtesy of Uncle Ben.

Cousin Time

The Wilhelmi Boys and the Elliott Boys love each other like brothers. They are really 3rd cousins, but we won't point that out to them. They always have a great time hanging out. This time was no exception. While I was participating in the 3-day for the Cure, the guys were having a little cousin time.

3-day for the Cure

J's mom and aunts decided to do the Susan G. Komen 3-day for the Cure this November. This cause is near and dear to their hearts, as they have been touched by breast cancer twice within their immediate family. Annie Klein, their mother, lost her battle with breast cancer in 1991, and Trish is a recent breast cancer survivor.

J and I decided to join this lively group for the Dallas walk. Our childcare situation changed, and I became the walker for our family. I was honored to walk with them. What an experience! We raised over $15,000 for breast cancer research and learned so very much along the way. Thank you, Ladies, for allowing me to join you. It was the best 60 miles I ever walked!
