Hannah's Biggest Fan!!!

Norah ADORES her cousins, Hannah and Emma. On Sunday afternoon, and Monday evening, Norah would sit next to them on the couch and say "Let's talk about our school. I'll tell you about mine and then you tell me about yours." She thought it was so neat to read to them, color with them, and when we found out Hannah had a volleyball game on Tuesday night, well, Norah was so excited, she found herself bumping the volleyball, practicing just like Hannah was. Here are some pics from the game, and after, too. Grandpa Steve came down from Port Lavaca, and watched the game, too.

A Day in Corpus Christi

Oh how nice it is to have this fall break! We drove down to Corpus Christi on Tuesday morning, (about a 40 minute drive,) and arrived at the Texas State Aquarium just as there were about 8 buses loading up students. Perfect - we were only one of about 10 other families in the whole place- it was SO nice to have the whole place almost to ourselves- no lines or pushy people to see any exhibits & we could go at our own pace. So, anyways, we had been to the Tempe aquarium a few weeks prior, but our kids love to see fish (they even ask when we are at Wal-Mart if they can go see the goldfish for sale.) Maya says "Fshhhhhh" and runs from tank to tank, while Norah is awestruck by the size of some of the fish, sharks, dolphins, sea turtles, etc...

A Rainy Sunday Afternoon

We arrived late Saturday night, after driving ALL day on Saturday. So, Sunday was our day to relax - it had started to rain on Saturday and continued all through Sunday...So, while the adults watched football, the cousins got to play...
