Fire Station

This past Saturday, we went to open house at the Flower Mound Fire Station. JT asked us everyday last week if it was time to go. We didn't want to miss it, given JT's fondness of fire trucks. In fact, this Halloween, JT is going to be a fire fighter -- his choice. Sissy said maybe he'll grown up to fire fighter. That would make Grandad proud!

Well, we went and had a lot of fun. Here's some of the pictures. Thanks FMFD.

Week In Review

This past week...


1. Daddy was really sick with pneumonia. He doesn't get sick often. I told him when he does, he goes all out. Daddy has been sick for two weeks and spent this past week off work to finally get over it. I knew he had too many days at home when he commented that the kids show "Phineas & Ferb" was really funny. Happily, I can report that he's doing much better and got out of the house this weekend and back to work tomorrow.


2. Sissy lost another tooth this week...finally. This tooth has been hanging on for quite some time. She finally let Mom help pull it out. More blood than I was hoping for, but she was eventually happy, especially with a visit from the tooth fairy.


3. We went to the park for a bit Friday afternoon and then went out for Mexican food. YUM! Our favorite! It hit the spot, especially after a couple weeks of being home a lot. Beautiful weather.


4. On Saturday, Lewisville had its annual Western Day that includes a parade and car show. Daddy showed his hot rod of course, and his friend, Will, brought his truck too. The kids had a great time, although their Mommy was melting in the heat. Of course, it had to get hot on the day we were outside for hours.


5. Today, it was nice to have all of us at church and getting back to normal, if there's such a thing.


Off to another week and hoping for fall weather to return. Enjoy the pic's. Momma Wolg

Wordless Wednesday

Back to Preschool

JT went back to preschool last Friday. He was so excited and ready to go. My extroverted child needs preschool. He loves to make new friends and interact with everyone...adult, teenager, child - it doesn't matter.

JT is attending preschool at our church again, and I'm thrilled that he has Mrs. Shannon for his teacher, friend & fellow carpool driver, and Mrs. Lisa. I pray he has a great year at preschool!

I love you little buddy! Momma Wolg
