Thanksgiving!!

Texas came to Georgia for Turkey Day 2010!!

Carter and Austin found a familiar sight at the Fernbank Museum

Here they are running through a rain simulator.....pretty cool!

Carter (in Aggie paraphernalia) in front of a GIANT dinosaur!!

Ansley is explaining how to make a screwdriver work!!

Carter is taking Ansley for a ride in her Jeep!! At first Carter wanted nothing to do with this Jeep because it was for "girls" ... but once he saw how much fun they were having in it, he decided to join in!!

We got to watch the Longhorns play the Aggies; it was a good game, and I am glad the Longhorns did not get beat too bad!!

It was great to have Uncle Scott, Aunt Natalie and Cousin Carter here for a long visit; it was their first time to come to Georgia!! We had a blast and can't wait to see everyone for Christmas!!

Been a while!

Well, it has been a while, and I am sorry for that; we have been a little busy!!

This is from Austin's school. While his singing is not the best, he is quite proud to belt it out. His teacher sent this mainly because he built himself this little podium and then put a block behind it and found a microphone to get his best ABC song out there for all to hear :)

We had our follow up visit to the pediatric urologist, and ...... Ansley is fixed!!! Her urinary tract reflux has stopped due to the urethral reimplementation, and now her urine stays in her bladder...YIPPEE!!!!! This is a great relief, as she no longer has to have a catheter put in each time she gets a fever. She would only have to do that now if she has a fever over 103.0 and .... she is starting to potty train, so hopefully she would be able to provide a urine sample without the catheter. All in all, it has been a great week!

Of note, mainly to me so I won't forget :) Ansley's left kidney will always be smaller than her right one due to the damage caused by the reflux, but it should not have an impact on her life. However, her children have a 60% chance of having the same condition, so we will have to remind her of this many, many, many decades down the road .... tee hee :)

We also celebrated Eric's birthday and had an awesome bar-b-que dinner to help remind us of Texas. He was in training all week, so he did not get to go fishing or hunting for his big day, but he may in the coming weeks.

I had a conference presentation last weekend in Savannah, and Eric's parents agreed to take both kids for the weekend, so Eric and I got to go and have a relaxing weekend. The weather was great and on our way home we stopped in Juliett, GA and ate at the Whistle Stop Cafe, where Fried Green Tomatoes the movie is based and we had some FGT, they were awesome!!

So again, all in all, we are great here and are ready to celebrate the Thanksgiving Holidays with family.....more to come soon.
