Mommy, Daddy and Lucy had a picnic on Sunday. It was a beautiful day for shades. Lucy is seen here kicking back in her new Bumbo!

Hi All,
I finally figured this blog thing out - I think. My computer skills are VERY limited, so I will do the best I can. It will probably take a miracle for me to post pictures, but we will see what happens. We are all looking forward to the reunion and can't wait to see everyone and "catch" up.
We made it through a busy Feburary. My girls, my mom and myself each had a b-day during the month. And then Jeff and Emily decided to add to the load and had a baby on the 8th. We are looking forward to a quieter March. Ashlyn turned 8 and is in second grade and Morgan turned 5 and is in Pre-K.
Congratulations to you Christye on the birth of Lucy.
Take care and thanks for all everyone is doing to make this reunion a success.
Debbie

Family Reunion June 13, 14 &15th

OK, here is the info you have all been waiting for regarding our accommodations for our Family reunion. Our contact is Elena. REMEMBER, We are in Texas in the Country, not the Four Seasons therefore, planning in advance is vital!! email me with your specific questions or needs xhale321@mac.com
Accommodations: Under PHOTOS, picture #9 shows the "executive suites" (14 rooms) that I have reserved for the entire family. Each room has 2 Queen size beds, therefore if you need additional bedding for little ones, I have 2 air mattresses I can bring, and Elena said to also let her know and she might be able to assist.
Activities: Bring fishing poles if you want to fish with the kids! For those who want to golf there is a small fee. Golf, Volleyball, Swimming, Fishing, Canoing, I think those who want to ride horses usually bring their own horse...sorry about that detail.
Meals: I need to make dinner reservations for each meal with a head count (adult and child) so email me your family head count for meals. The chef is a vegetarian, therefore a menu of vege CAN and Will be available. In addition, I have received a children's menu!! I need to know who is going to need transport from/to DFW airport or who wants to caravan there.

These pics are from before our snow board trip.  Noah had a pretend suitcase with all of his ski things packed in a lunch box with his name tag reading, "Property of Noah Simons."  I will try to post the pics of him in his ski outfit.  He was so cute!!!  He had baby ski pants, little boots, his fuzzy bear coat, ski hat, and mittens.  It was precious!

Daddy and Lulu all by theyselfs...

What a perfect birthday it's turning out to be! My baby and I, in the Bjorn, outside on our new back porch, or playing with toys. The only thing missing to make it all PERFECT is Mamma, who's at work right now... :(

Lulu is standing in her bouncer talking me with all kinds of lovely little cooing sounds. She's hard at work figuring out the menacing-looking sunflower-piece-of-plastic. How's that for tons of hyphenation in a single sentence?

Daddy must get back to baby now.
