Canada ? Snow? Ha! Texas Weather Ya got to Luv it!

Image
Now we went to Canada and a couple of weeks ago and had a great time visiting Joseph, Suzanne, Evan, and Maren Grace. Evan has really grown a lot and talks non stop about trains, trains, trains. Maren Grace is precious and she really liked Papa best, not really, but Papa is writing this, so I can say so. The weather there was very tolerable, a lot warmer than we expected and planned for. There wasn't as much snow this year as last,according to Joseph, Probably only 3-4 inches at the most except in the drifts against the houses. We made snow ice cream once and Evan really loved it. I think we all did. Can't wait to see them when they come in May. Back to the snow. A couple of days ago we had a little Texas snow storm come through Lamar County and it dumped 7-8 inches of the fluffy white stuff on us over night.

Christmas # 1

Image
With Christmas # 1 behind us, we can look forward to Christmas # 2 with Jeremy, Robin, Riven, Joshua, Kaleb, and those that celebrated Christmas # 1. We had a great time with D-Dad, Grandma, Aunt Jewel, Jonathan, Sharon, and me. We slept in a little longer than usual, ate breakfast, opened presents, celebrated our Lord Jesus's birth, talked with the Fredericksburg Thomas Clan, ate lunch, napped, ate desert, talked with the Olds, Canada Thomas Clan, ate dinner, ate desert, and played Imaginiff.... I won this time, beating Mom by 1 space and D-Dad and Grandma by 3 and 4 spaces respectfully. It was nip and tuck at the end with some difficult ?'s. Traditional Christmas dinner with barbecued brisket, ham, pinto beans, potato salad, coleslaw, homemade rolls and coconut pie and apple pie for desert. Mmmmmmmmm GOOD! Here we are after the game, see everybody's happy!!! Real happy, what's the matter Jonathan?

Last Saturday was the annual Band Banquet that is the culmination of the marching season. The directors give out awards (Most Outstanding Senior, Junior, etc, Bandsman of the Week, Etc), they recognize the Seniors , Drum Majors, Librairians, Section Leaders, etc, say all these nice things about our kids, you get my drift. Jonathan was selected as one of the Most Outstanding Seniors, Bandsman of the Week and of course Drum Major. Jonathan's dates for the evening Drum Majors Some may know that myself and Cory Noland had made a promise to the band that if they qualified for the State Finals, we would shave our heads ,probably not the smartest thing we've ever done, but we made the ...
