More Halloween shots...

Here are some individual shots of Cowgirl, Zombie Girl and Hulk.

Tess...minus tonsils and adenoids

Tess was a bit rocked coming out of anesthesia last week. She was thrashing about in this bed...Miles touched her, kissed her, then was a bit upset in Angie's arms. All is well now.

Chee-tah, Chee-tah, Chee-tah!

Abbie and her crew (with their moms) took in the recent Cheetah Girls concert at the Erwin Center. Good times...good times. If you weren't there, you are not part of the in crowd.

Kick'em all out!

Here's an excerpt from a recent New York Times article about a member of the House of Representatives. Check out the type of "legislation" these guys are passing. Great quote at the end...this really sums up a lot of the problems we're having in this country, that's for sure...all, while Rome burns....

Then he asked for a list of the three bills to see if he really did want to vote yes: A nonbinding resolution “recognizing that we are facing a global food crisis.” O.K., Davis said puckishly. That’s a yes.
A second resolution “expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the emergency communications services provided by the American Red Cross are vital resources for military-service members and their families.” O.K., another yes.
A third resolution “condemning the use of television programming by Hamas to indoctrinate hatred, violence and anti-Semitism toward Israel in Palestinian children.” A third yes. “They read me pretty well,” Davis said, chuckling at the absurdity of it all.
Then he shook his head. Three resolutions offering platitudes, none of them carrying the force of law, none of them actually doing anything. Davis asked for a list of all 20 bills on the floor that day — naming post offices, recognizing the anniversary of Bulgaria’s independence, honoring an old American war sloop.
Davis wanted me to have the list. “Tell them about the important work we’re doing while Rome burns,” he said.

Grandma B and Miles

Grandba B and Miles had a great time when she and Papa B watched him during the day while Angie was in Oklahoma. We caught them horsing around in the front yard just before they left for home. The other night, while laying in bed, Miles said - out of the blue - "I miss Grandma B."

Check out Grandma B's sprinting style - she looks a little like Jesse Owens.

Abbie volleyball debut

Abbie played her first volleyball game last weekend - here's a quick little video of some of the action - her first serve! Also some still photos before the match began. Go 49ers!

Tess "Black Belt" Blackwell

Here's a video of Tess doing her Black Belt testing last weekend in Round Rock. She is required to break these two boards. We'll find out in a couple of weeks whether or not she passed, but we're pretty sure she did. She's been doing this for three years now, and we're very, very, very proud of her...
