Sun, surf, and sand...

Howdy y'all! Considering that many of our holiday cards went out yesterday containing a link to this site, we figured we'd better get in here and update it! The pictures page was recently updated as well.

As you can probably tell from the pictures, we've been staying busy. Richie's volleyball league at ended their season undefeated and will start play again in January. His softball team finished their season dead last, but who cares? They had fun playing! Natalie's been busy as well, as the Toros season gets into full swing. She hasn't witnessed the team win at home yet but has faith that they'll improve as the season goes on ( as will the dance team! :P ). In the meantime, she's really enjoying the experience despite the long hours.

As usual, November and December have been filled with holiday celebrations so we've been making the rounds. With no free weekends in sight, we decided to take a couple of days vacation this year and escape to Fredericksburg to relax and celebrate our birthdays last week. We had a really nice time and were able to finish up most of our Christmas shopping. We then headed to Houston mid-day Saturday for what Natalie thought was a holiday party but turned out to be a surprise birthday party!! Thanks Courtney and Lisa for putting that together and to Richie for dragging her there - it was sooo much fun! :)

And speaking of birthdays, I have to send out a special Happy Birthday today to Richie!! We'll be celebrating this momentous occasion at our place tomorrow evening. And while I'm at it, Happy Birthday to all of you other December babies out there!

Wishing all of you safe travels and lots of quality time with friends and family this holiday season. See ya next year!! (Since we all know I probably won't be back to post in here before then!) Cheers!
