February 2012

(don't miss the January 2012 post below this - trying to catch up on some backlog of photos / videos I put aside during the busy season at work)

Mom and Dad's birthdays this month that the kids helped celebrate, Adam got to meet Sid the Science Kid (the coolest!) at the Children's Museum and yet another trip to the Houston Zoo. Family times aplenty



I've got a lot of questions and some big ideas, I'm Sid the Science Kid!

For once at the zoo, the animals actually put on a show

January 2012 -

In January we made a family trip to the Pearland Winterfest with the Bartsches and our good friends the Abernathys. Later on we also went ice skating downtown with other good friends the McGuires. Also headed to the Houston Zoo and the Children's Museum - busy month!
