Six Months into the NEW YEAR!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
It's been six months since I started to update the blog.  Can we blame it on the grandchildren?  Since we began this daunting project of restoring a 100 year old house in Tobin Hill, the house has truly become our    home.  The beautiful wood floors are more beautiful with baby grandchildren crawling on them, the door panel with stained glass is  adorned with little Lily and Zoe fingerprints, and  baby monitors keep us tuned in to little Zoe waking up in the pack n' play downstairs while we are upstairs with Lily who is now big enough to sleep in the Jenny Lind style bed that I slept in at my grand-dad's house in Tennessee when I was a little girl.  We do love our babies! 

Will post a picture with little Zoe in a day or two---Meanwhile, you can check out Buck and Katy's blog for the girls with the bows and beatia link.   http://bowsandbeatia.blogspot.com/


We also love living in San Antonio close to Buck and Katy's family, and close enough to get to the airport and easily go see Andy and Bethany and Liam, or pick up Jay when he comes in from Puerto Rico.  Going to take this opportunity to mention one of my favorite places to shop, Bless Your Heart Giftique in Bracken Village.  Whenever someone compliments me on a cute shirt, shoes, or jewelry I have bought there, I love being able to tell them I got it at my daughter-in-law's store, Bless Your Heart!

Boymom became boy-grandmom!  Funny how that happens!  This great shirt is from Bless Your Heart!

Catching up in the new year










I feel like I am learning how to post all over again! This rusty old "tin man" needs a little oil to do this smoothly. Bo worked so hard and accomplished some huge jobs in 2009! He's telling folks that we are nearly in "maintenance mode" ! His biggest project last year was making 39, yes 39!, wooden window screens from "scratch". Besides improving the appearance of the house, they will help us stay cool next summer.
Stay tuned-more to come on this post.
