My wife


Well, I just had to share this great picture of Mindy. Our VA friends the Werts gave us some gifts before they departed back home. You can see a couple of them in the picture. The ice cream scoop actually came from the Blue Bell ice cream plant. We have gotten some use out of it this summer for sure. The hat looks great on Mindy.

We have finally gone through every box and unpacked every dish here. It is a good feeling to finally have some things set up. My (Chris) office is ready for the upcoming semester. Mindy even has a little section of the front room she is calling Mindy's Pretty Room!! Cade has learned to navigate the halls of our house and can even go up and down the ONE step we have in our living room. Summer is here and we are about to depart for some adventures during the month of July. We will be visiting family, celebrating birthdays, and hopefully catching up with some old friends. We have been so blessed to have the Youngs in town to hang out with!!

For those of you that don't know, our 2nd baby is due to enter this world on August 29th. I start school the Monday before that (25th). It should be a busy week but we are very excited about it. I am even looking forward to homework (we'll see how long that lasts). I will be working toward a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at ACU. It is a 2 year program. Anyway, that is the scoop here in Abilene. We will be able to blog more in the coming weeks as we travel so check back to see all our adventures.

Its Zoo Time






We took a little trip to the Abilene Zoo today. It was great fun!! They have like 500 animals there and it took us hours to walk through (actually we got there at 9:15 and were back home by 11). But Cade had a great time. We went with our good friends Brandon, Jana, Rowan, and Skylar Young. I think Cade's favorite thing was feeding the ducks. He definitely loved the Giraffe and the Lions!! We will be posting more of our Abilene adventures soon!!

Cade's First Text Message


Thats right you read correctly.  Cademan sent his first text message today.  I was sitting on the couch and heard my 'you just received a text' sound on my phone.  I picked it up and saw it was from Mindy.  The catch is, she wasn't holding the phone, Cade was.  He had sent me a blank message.  He is a genius!!!  

We will update this more now we are getting settled.
