HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

We hope everyone has a happy and safe Halloween!  Unfortunately, Halloween isn’t what it used to be when I was a kid.  The “crazies” have ruined, what used to be, a fun “holiday”.  We actually had no “trick or treaters” this year; I think that is a first for us here in the Heights.

What a difference a year makes.  I thought I’d post a picture of Sarah from Halloween 2010 alongside Halloween 2011.

Last year, it was, “What are you guys doing to me?”  This year, it was, “Look at me, I’m a little mouse”.

A Visit to Dewberry Farm

Dewberry Farm is located west of Katy, Texas, (actually near Brookshire) and is all about making memories and enjoying good clean country fun.  I have lived in Houston for many, many years and had never heard of this place.  We decided to check it out after a friend of Amanda’s had mentioned it to her.  On a pleasant, but windy, autumn day we decided to see what it was all about.

Sarah really enjoyed herself whether it was feeding the goats, watching the ducks swim around, “driving” a big green John Deere tractor, or running through the “punkin” patch.

They close for the season in early November; but, open the “Christmas Forest” in December and become a “choose-and-cut” tree farm.

The Farm provides a fantastic opportunity for Houston urbanites to experience some of the fun associated with being outdoors and on a farm.  They have lots of barnyard animals and many, many activities during the summer.  We had a great time and shall return.

A Happy Toddler in School?

Sarah started going twice per week for a half day at the Bertha Alyce Center a few weeks ago.  As long as Mommy was around all was well…

But, when Mommy left, things didn’t go too well…a bit of separation anxiety ensued.

“Yes, I will be a big girl and put my hands on the blocks like you say; but, I will NOT be a happy camper doing it!”

Just like her Mommy and her Daddy before her, crying at school has become a family tradition.

Twenty Months Later

Well, it’s been a while since I added an entry to my blog; for a while FaceBook took over as a means to provide information to family and friends.  I’ve basically lost interest in the latter because of privacy concerns.  And, I am hoping Windows Live Writer will make entries a bit easier.

The majority of the postings to this blog will likely continue to center around Sarah since there is seldom much of anything of interest in my life except her and her growth and development.

I may post a few items that have occurred in the past couple of years just to “catch up”.  We’ll see how that goes.  In the meantime, this is a start (again).  And, maybe I can even come up with a few “Ramblings”.  Stay tuned!
