Merry Christmas


Merry Christmas Everyone!

If you are visiting my website for the first time because you found the url on our Christmas Card, welcome!

I wanted to write something cute and clever, but just haven’t thought of anything yet.

A few updates: I changed jobs after almost 10 years at AIM/INVESCO/AMVESCAP (so many name changes). It was just time for me to move on. I am now working for big oil, Chevron in downtown Houston. The first time I walked into the old Enron building, I got a bit freaked out.

I have really got more into digital photography and got my first DSLR Camera in May, in time for Mason’s 2nd birthday.

Mason and Danielle are both doing great! Mason is talking soo much, making very long descriptive sentences and using his hands to communicate. Its too cute. He is a typical 2 year old boy who loves cars, trucks, balls, Diego, and animals. He doesn’t care for Elmo anymore so that is kind of a relief.

Danielle is in the 10th grade at the new Dawson High School. She is taking a photography class now and I think has really improved these last few months. She still is entertaining the idea of a career in fashion and is doing research into colleges now. Danielle has been doing a lot of babysitting and is great with kids. She has also begun bugging us about drivers ed and that really scares Matt and I!

Matt’s back is finally back to normal! After many years of on and off pain, mostly on, he had back surgery in early October. Pictures you ask, of course!

Please check back regularly for family updates, cool things I have discovered and of course new photos!

We miss so many of our friends and family that are not close by and wish you a great holiday season and happy new year!

Please leave a comment, to let me know you stopped by. :)

A Day at Surfside Beach


Mason wanted to go to the beach, so we went to Surfside Beach, south of Houston, Texas down SH 288 and over the intercoastal waterway. We weren’t out there that long but we had fun. It wasn’t too hot and the water was just right. While we walked on the jetty, we even saw someone catch a stingray.
