Poignant Moments & Memories of 2008

Our little Joshua was born on 11/15/07. We started training him to be an Aggie pretty early.

Our attempt at getting a bluebonnet picture in our neighbor's yard across the street.

Joshua was really sick so it was the best we could do.

Jordan on his 9th birthday: 5/6/08




The 1st day in our new house on 6/1/08: what a mess!
Scot pulled 2 all-nighters getting us all moved out of our old house and into our new one.



Scot and his 4 wonderful children on Father's Day, 6/15/08



Rachel had a nice carpet burn on her forehead that Jacob had accidentally given her.



Rachel has naturally curly hair, but she had to have curlers when she saw Mommy with some in her hair. We made silly faces in our curlers on 7/5/08.

Ruth and Rachel at the 1st Texas A&M home football game of the 2008 season



We had such high hopes for the 2008 football season at this Aggie football game on 8/30/08. Our hopes were dashed that very day when A&M lost to Arkansas State at home.




9/19/08: We had to pull out the extra table for meals while we had family living with us following Hurricane Ike. So many people lost power at their homes for a long time.
