No New Pictures...


Didn't take any pictures of the family this weekend but I was able to scrounge this one up merely for visual purposes. This is a shot of me and some of my co-workers during a drawing for Associate Appreciation week a couple weeks ago.

But no new pictures doesn't mean no new news. Last week was bitter sweet for me. One one hand, my good friend Nicole gave birth to a beautiful new baby boy. It's her first and I welcome her to parenthood!! On the other hand, however, I received news that another good friend has been diagnosed with MS. It really bummed me out and I'm still trying to learn more about the disease so I can be as supportive as I can. I realize it doesn't necessarily mean life is over for her, but life will be quite different now.

My mom and step-dad are visiting this weekend! I'm really looking forward to it... we haven't had visitors since Easter so it is definitely time. Next week, I'm sure, I'll have lots more pictures and news. Have a great Labor Day Weekend!!

Hot Weekend Celebration

Posted by Picasa This weekend they celebrated the grand opening of one section of the new Loop 49 around Tyler. ETMC hosted a booth, there was a parade and speakers and the regular grand opening hoopla one would expect at such an event. Downfall - the HEAT! It was 100+. Needless to say, the kids and I didn't stay too long. But here are some shots of our 45 minutes of celebration...
Posted by Picasa We all got to ride in the back of the "bamblance" during the parade. It was much cooler there.

The Greatest Show on Earth!

Last weekend Macy and I attended the Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus in Dallas. The tickets were a Father's Day gift, but daddy had a last-minute business trip to Florida, so I got a sitter for Nick and made it a girls day out.

We both really enjoyed ourselves. What follows are a few random pictures of the show. Most of them didn't turn out so hot, but these are the few that did. (I love the elephants!!!) Posted by Picasa
