Ernestine

For many who may not have heard, we had to say good-bye our sweet, cuddley, snorting pup on Monday, 29 September. She became sick very suddenly, and despite all our best efforts and those of our fabulous vet, there was nothing we could do to improve her health and quality of life. We miss her like crazy! She was the best dog ever. For the many who had the pleasure of knowing Ernestine, there's no doubt you were touched by her wonderful quirkiness. She certainly brought tons of joy to our lives over the past 5 years. She will always have a special place in the hearts of many.

Fun Times with Friends

Hurricane Ike has brought a lot of destruction to the great state of TX. Fortunately, all of our friends and family are safe, and a few have even traveled to the Big D while they wait for power and water to be restored to their homes. So, while they're waiting, we're making the most of our time together. Here are a few pics.

A little box goes a long way. Our friend, Evan, visiting from Conroe, TX. Evan is Julia's (Hudson's future bride) big brother.


Hudson's new favorite place to sleep - the sling. He seriously LOVES the sling.

Hudson was invited on his first play date today with Evan, Julia, Claire, and Natalie at the park. He had a great time!

Our Trip to Houston

This weekend we took Hudson on his first road trip to visit Aunt Lauren and Uncle Davey. He was a trooper. He was great in the car and had tons of fun with his Aunt and Uncle.

Here are some of the highlights:
- Getting to see Lauren and Davey's VERY cute and fun new home.
- Cooking out with friends.
- Enjoying Blue Bell's latest delicious ice cream flavor - Snickerdoodle.
- Eating out at Tila's at the table next to the woman who brought her pet bird to dinner. The bird sat on her purse eating tortilla chips the entire meal.
- Eating Rudy's BBQ for lunch - doesn't get any better!
- Visiting Hudson's future bride, Julia Bierhalter, and her family.

Hudson and Julia - Julia is exactly one week older than Hudson. Are they a match made in heaven or what?!

Our Handsome Man

Well, Hudson visited the pediatrician again today for a shot. While there, he was weighed and measured. You'll never guess how big our little man is! He weighed in at 9 lbs 5 oz and measured 22 inches! He's growing like a champ! Although he's only a month old, he's changed so much. Here are a few recent pics. Enjoy!

Napping - I don't do this very much, so Mom had to capture it for the record


I'm very pensive


I LOVE my toys!
