2016 thus far

Well, I've had some trouble with my computer, and so I've been slow to update the blog this month.  January has been a month of relaxing weekends and crazy weather.  We have had temperatures of 30-ish to 70 and everything in between.  As a result, everyone is coughing and has a runny nose.

Papi and Reet Reet gave the kids a new swing, and James and Natalie are a big fan.  Luke hasn't gotten up enough nerve yet, but I'm sure he'll join in soon enough.

James's school had an event called "Flight Night"--part basketball pep rally, part fundraiser, part crazy.  I took James and Natalie to it, and Brad and Luke chose to forgo the "fun" for chip and dip at El Tiempo.  Brad said Luke was the most well behaved child--of course, he had food in front of him :)

Brad ran the Houston Half Marathon again in January and did AWESOME!  The kids and I were about 5 minutes too late to see him cross the finish line, but we were so proud of him!

Brad and James at a Houston Rockets game.  James's favorite player is James Hardin, whose nickname is "Fear the Beard.  These two....

And some random pictures: Natalie in carpool, James's first basketball game (more on that in a later catch-up post), and my three little light saber loving kiddos.
