Updates

The past two weeks have been super busy, so I have not been able to post about some things going on. The first, and worst, is that one of my dogs, Tucker, died last Sunday after ingesting some poisonous material. By the time we found out what had happened, it was too late to save him and he died with us at home Sunday afternoon. Addyson thinks he is coming home in 30 days (don't know how she came up with that) after God heals him. It's tough to explain that type of stuff to a 4 year old. Daisy, our other dog, is having a hard time with it too.

Addyson turned 4 the next day (October 1), so we tried to forget about the sad events of the previous day for a while to have out with my parents and go to Addyson's favorite place to eat (Chinese). She had a good time and we got more cake and ice cream.



On Friday, I got a new Honda to replace my old one. Still a CR-V, but this time it is glacier blue. I really like the car and they have made a lot of improvements since I bought my old one.



Friday was also the Royal Ranger campout and that was exhausting. The kids seemed to enjoy themselves and there is just nothing like breakfast cooked outside in the morning. I have decided that my favorite smell is waking up to the smell of bacon cooked fireside.



Saturday saw the Aggies head up to 1st place in the Big 12 (for this week at least) and poor Texas heading down to the bottom of the Big 12. That was a great day.



And, finally, on Sunday my other team -- the Houston Texans -- pulled out a win over Miami.
