Samantha's Birthday

We know, Samantha's birthday isn't until December 17th - but Heather & Kyle wanted to celebrate while the weather was nice and before the baby and the holidays - so they had a party in the park by their subdivision this week-end. A gorgeous "fall" day and the kids had a ball jumping in the blow up castle. Hard to believe she is almost 3 years old!
Heather is looking very pregnant and ready to have a baby. They just discovered the baby is breach and unless "he/she" decides to do a flip her doctor will schedule a C-Section in early November. Hate the thought of her having to have surgery but glad she and the baby are in good hands. Samantha has a pink "Big Sister" T-shirt waiting for the big day! She is sure she is going to have a "sister."
Megan & Carlos just got back from a week in California - said they had gorgeous weather and a great time. Anxious to hear all about their trip - say they found great places for us to explore.
Had a chance to see our nephew Kyle, who lives and works in Sugarland, while we were there. He "weathered" the hurricane well but went without power for several days. He had dinner with us on Saturday night and when he left Heather said, "Samantha, say good-bye to Kyle" and Samantha turns around the says "Peace" and makes the peace sign!
We have had a terrible time finding a campground in the Houston area - they are all still full of Ike evacuees; insurance adjusters and repairmen - mainly roofers and fence companies. Finally had a call back from one that is about 6 miles from the the kids house - not the best but it will work for November.
