Sunday, January 23, 2011 - Breakfast with Papa and Gramma Jan
 |
| Can't rotate this cute picture for some reason... |
So if you choose to let Lane be up and around unsupervised while you sleep in, keep in mind, he might just choose to serve himself the remainder of a bottle of honey for breakfast :)!
At breakfast at K-Fazille (Cafe Brazil) with Gramma and Papa. Lane wanted to wear his hair 'sticking up'. We actually put some of mommy's mousse in it to help it along.

Starting Where I Am
The last event I posted about was from October... I keep not posting cause I feel like I need to catch up. I missed Lane's Chef costume for Halloween and the story about how he ran around the neighborhood giving his candy to kids parents saying, 'Trick or Treat'. I missed posting his 3rd birthday party pictures, Liam's birthday, Thanksgiving, baby shower at work for Brooke, Christmas, all the fun stuff we did, and now Brooke's birth. I've decided to follow my friend Maria's advice and 'pick up where you are'. Maybe I can adopt Fly Lady's approach to catch up on at least some of the stuff I have missed... 15 minutes at a time. Reading old posts and remembering is motivation to make time to post.

Vacation to Buffalo National River in Arkansas, Oct. 18-22
Pregnant mama needed something to eat, right now, on the way to Arkansas. In true form, Chad found an out of the way BBQ place that was really good!
We left Texas later than expected and ended up not getting to our destination til 9pm or so. We decided to spend the night in a cabin instead of trying to find a site and set up our tent in the dark. We stayed at the MacIntosh cabin at Silver Lake Cabins. Nice, cozy place. I AM pregnant, and Chad DID have pneumonia.
Lane and I took a short hike, from which I had to CARRY him back, but it was nice to go for a walk in the woods.
Me and Lane in front of an abandoned mine shaft in the mining ghost town of Rusk, near the Buffalo River.
Lane is certainly showing promise as a photographer. Nice job, sweety!
Lane and daddy cooking hot dogs at our campsite.
Unexpected visitor kept us on our toes.
Cozy.
Steel Creek, on the Buffalo River, where I used to go as a kid.
Elk Lane at the Elk Visitor Center in Ponca, Arkansas.
Chad and his knack for finding unique restaurants. I think this was Fort Smith, Arkansas. Inside Lane rode a Razorback for 25 cents. Was kinda hard to stomach as a Longhorn :)!
After camping two nights in Arkansas, we got to Beavers Bend State Park in Oklahoma after dark, again. So we opted to stay in their 'lodge' on the lake. It was a motel with a very nice view of the lake. We considered camping another night, but ended up coming home and getting some much needed rest. I am determined to camp at Beavers Bend State Park one day! It's such a nice, scenic, family friendly place.
It's the Great Pumpkin, Grandpa!
Thank you, Grandpa, for coming to spend the day with us and bringing Lane a special pumpkin for Halloween! And apricots! And get well flowers for Chad!

Jack and Sharon got married on October 10, 2010 in Las Vegas. A party was held in their honor at their house on October 16th. Chad couldn't make it cause he had pneumonia. A group picture was taken and I'll post it if I can get a copy of it :)! Congrats to the happy couple!
