The Odessa Brown Clinic did a story about Lucas and this is the picture the photographer took for their website. Lucas is a happy healthy 4 year old.

Our AMAZING move in crew that came through at the last second! I feel so blessed that all of these friends were willing to help. ALL of who I NEVER see! I haven't seen Katy in 5 years!

And...they came knowing it was going to be a rain storm and we were more than likely going to be soaked! Well...we weren't! The skies parted for the EXACT duration of our move!

My cat is kind of big, at least 20 inches long and makes a great conversation piece.

You know...it took me years to realize that this guy was called Lobot as a play on the word "lobotomy" basically implying he was lobotomized and part of his brain replaced with a computer.

Sometimes, I'm slow.

Kaiti was in a car accident on June 7th. She had a closed head injury, and surgery to relieve pressure on her brain. After three weeks at UT Medical Center she was moved to Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center. She will be getting in-patient therapy for a period of time that is not determined at this point. Please keep Kaiti in your thoughts and prayers.

Kaiti is 16,was driving alone, directly T-boned on her side of the car. Kaiti was wearing her seatbelt. but I know she had angels there.

Its always nice to go to an authentic Mexican restaurant. Being so close to the border makes it possible!

When I was have the hubs take photos of my incision b.c I wanted to see it ... 1 month later.. beginning of meningitis (note to Chiairians: I kept describing mine as if it felt like there was a "hot dog" under my scar then my neck went really stiff and I spiked a fever and started throwing up. Any symptoms like this.. call your surgeon immediately.
