We had a great summer vacation on South Padre Island with the family. The kids enjoyed the beach and the pool at the beach house. It was so nice to spend time with the family!

We had a VERY Merry Christmas! This year we stayed in the Valley, no traveling for us. It's been unseasonably cool in the Valley this year so it almost felt like Christmas. The kids got lots of gifts and Baby Ian had a really nice first Christmas.
