Thanksgiving in Houston

We had a wonderful time visiting Steve's family in Houston over Thanksgiving.  It was so much fun watching the kids playing with their cousins, as if they had only been apart a month.  Charlotte acted like she had known everyone her whole life.  It was too cute!

What is Charlotte up to?

With Isabella and Jack in school now, Charlotte is really missing her sister and brother!  I have found it important to keep her very busy or she'll destroy a room in minutes!  It will be good for her to start gymnastics after the first of the year.

She is constantly running around (not walking, but running).  Her latest fall was into the hearth on our fireplace.  Thank goodness we didn't have to make a trip to the ER this time!

run into the fireplace.

Jack starts school!

Jack started Pre-K at Abilene Christian School about two weeks after we arrived.  He LOVES his teacher and new friends, and is really doing well.  It is good for him to have this challenge!  :)
