Reunion Time

Marielle sitting all by herself??? Heidi and Parker















We had a wonderful visit from my friend Heide (Lawerence) Shaw who now lives in Austin. It was great fun catching up and getting to know her two boys, Taylor and Parker.

Memorial Day in El Paso

We'd like to thank Aunt Jenn for being our blogging inspiration!

Marielle's First Baseball Game

Thanks to Exxon we enjoyed a free night out at the ball game. Marielle loved the atmosphere of being outdoors with so many lights and sounds. And likewise the crowd loved her. She lasted until the ninth inning when she fell asleep on Mom's lap. We had a lot of fun eating hot dogs, peanuts, and nachos, doing the wave, singing during the seventh inning stretch and showing off Marielle to Ryan's co-workers. Oh yeah, the Astro's won too.

Like my hair?


Mom and Dad, are we done yet???

Don't cross me when I'm hungry!

Who does she look like?

Marielle is growing and changing so much. We are starting to see more of her personality and charming features. In fact we are even starting to see hints of her parents in her. Who do you think she looks like?
