Whew.... How time flies.
We've had a quite an eventful summer. Here it is October and I haven't posted an entry since June 1st. I'll try and give a quick glance into my life.
Paul and I met up with my sisters, Jodie and Emily, along with my nieces, Allissa and
Michayla, and nephews,
Jonathen and Andrew, at Houston's newest park in downtown, Discovery
Green. The park is very cool and uncharacteristic for Houston.
Jonathen's 8th Birthday!
My nephew turned eight this summer. He celebrated his birthday with a Spiderman themed swim party at my house, with all of my family. There was much fun had by all, including a rivoting game of baseball in the pool and a little Rock Band.
L-Town Girls Trip 2008
In early August, I met up with my childhood girlfriends for a trip to New Braunsfels and a trip down the Guadalupe river. The weekend started for me on Thursday night when Wendy, Shelly, Laura and I headed to the Hill Country and spent the night with Wendy's parents. On Friday, Mandy met up with us and Wendy's parents took all of us out on Canyon lake for a little relaxation and fun in the boat.

On Friday evening we met up with Jenn, Farrah, Jodie, Allison, Meredith, and Melanie and spent the rest of the weekend partying it up at the historic Gruene family home, floating the river, dancing at the River Road Ice House and acting like we were in high school again. We had a blast! I can't wait for next year's edition.
How many girls can you fit into one Tahoe? Can someone cue the Mexican music?

Craig Biggio Retirement Ceremony
In late August Paul and I attended the retirement ceremony of the number 7 from the Astros line up. Craig Biggio is by far, my favorite baseball player of all time. I always enjoyed watching him play, not because he was flashy, but because he played hard. I've added a few pics from the ceremony.

After my water broke, a little after noon on January 22nd, the on-call doctor told us to go ahead and come to the hospital and she would "check things out." We decided to do a couple of things around the house including taking this picture before we headed to the hospital. The doctor actually called us when we were exiting the freeway asking where we were and wanting to know why we weren't at the hospital yet. 
She's here! Madeline Anne was born at 9:42 p.m. on January 22nd. She weighed in at 7 pounds 10 ounces and was 20 inches long. We waited to find out if we were having a boy or girl, but were greeted in our labor and delivery room by the doctor announcing "so we are having a little girl!" Paul and I played it off and Paul still announced to me that Baby K was a girl when she was born.
