Hello Texas! Sure's good to see you again!!

We are back from our long trip to Texas. We left Daddy sitting in his cubicle at work and burned up the highway between here and Burleson. I think I listened to Peter Pan a few more times than a human should, but besides that, it was a smooth trip with no problems!

Once we got to Texas and I avoided not to faint in the heat and humidity, we were on top of the world. We had so much fun! Tessa played harder than usual, and was completely spoiled. I got a much needed break from having eyes in the back of my head, and I got to eat Blue Bell ice cream--the very best there is!

Here is some pictures of some of the fun:

Gone Baby Gone

About a week ago, our cat Diego escaped from the house on evening. He hasn't come back yet. We thought maybe the thunderstorm and the fireworks the following nights might have driven him into hiding. We have walked around the neighborhood several times hoping to see him. But we haven't seen or heard a thing. So this is what we put up near the mailboxes in the neighborhood:

It's been two days with no calls. It seems like the end of the line for Diego (or Diablo as my grandmother calls him). It's saddest when Tessa asks about him. But so far, she has contented herself with tormenting Kitty. She has been bitten twice. Where did that girl learn such stubborn ways?

Genesis 21:6

This evening Tessa was looking at Anthony's armpit hair with a puzzled expression on her face. After a few seconds, she pointed at the hair and said, "Daddy's dirty!" I had to laugh...and agree!
