Christmas with Stephen & Stephanie

Sorry, these are the only pictures we have of our

Christmas with them. I was sick and we did not

have batteries for the camera until the next

night. But here are a few shots of our first

Christmas with Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Barley.

Texas "ICE!"

We do have ice here in Texas. Only ours is in the inside.

How fun it was to have the kids home. We went to the

convention center to see the ice show. It was really nice,

a little cold but still fun. You felt like you were in a winter

wonderland. It is so nice to be able to enjoy life

with the kids being older. What a joy they are.

The Stockyards

While Barb's family was here, we spent a day at the Fort Worth

Stockyards. This is a place where you will feel like you are

in the wild west complete with cowboys, bull riding, old

fashioned ice cream and gun shows. We also took a ride on

the Grapevine Vintage Railroad which runs through the

Stockyards. It was a fun day. A true Texas trip!

Thanksgiving 2007

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with
Bill's sister and family. It was such a joy to
hear laughter of little kids in the house.
We were truly blessed to have family.
