Anticipation

The first week of family time with Heather, Samantha & Emily has flown by! The weather has been cold, windy and rainy until yesterday when the sun finally came out and someone turned up the temperature to 73.
Emily has been sick with a sore throat. We took her to an Urgent Care Center on Friday night but even though she has been on an antibiotic for 3 days she is still fussy and not eating and running a fever. May take her back today if she isn't much better. Samantha & I made a construction paper garland and decorated the Christmas tree and she and Grandpa put lights on the fence in the front yard yesterday. We are enjoying just being with them. Samantha has an accent and talks "the Queen's English" - puts things in the "dust bin" not the trash!
My family are all coming to Austin this coming week-end. They rented a house about a mile from Carlos & Megan's and we'll take the motorhome up there. Joel & Rachel are coming from Dallas and Kyle from Sugarland. It will be a fun family time but the days will fly by!
Daddy Kyle arrived in Austin last night and is driving to Houston this morning to work for 3 days. He will be back in Austin on Thursday to celebrate Samantha's 4th birthday.
