A is for Absent

In a shameless act of complete copy-cattyness, I am blogging the alphabet like several of my more proficient bloggy friends have done.


Now, admittedly, it's been a while since I studied the alphabet, but unless they've changed it lately, it seems most appropriate to begin with "A".


And "A" is for absent, because that's what I've been lately. Absent from blogging. And absent from home for two weeks following Hurrican Ike.


I know you're just dying to know what I did all that time. So, here's a rundown of the last month or so. (Yeah, I know. I've been absent from the blog way longer than that, but I can't tax my memory that much or my head will probably start smoking.)


Rowan started Kindergarten. That's right. Kindergarten. I can't believe it.





She's so totally over me and my camera. LOL.





Just a couple weeks after school started, Hurricane Ike decided to pay us a visit. We did decide to "hunker down" here for the storm. But, the aftermath of Houston in September without air-conditioning was more than we could take. So, we went on a Hurricane "vacation" as my husband so exaggeratingly and annoyingly termed it.

We stayed in luxury hotels and had seaweed wraps and massages in the afternoon and lobster dinners every evening. (This is my blog, I can say whatever I want.)

It was sooo much fun! I know I, for one, can't wait for another "vacation". (I hope you're all reading my sarcasm here.)


Okay, well, our "vacation" (I can barely type that word in reference to those weeks) we did get to spend some time in one my very favorite parts of Texas - New Braunfels. It's a beautiful place and I would love to take the kids back there sometime, hopefully voluntarily.

Next up - B. I think.
