Little Rock

Well it's been a little crazy since I've last updated. I experienced my first hurricane(well that I can remember, I survived Alicia as an infant). We all fared well, which is amazing considering some of our friends had some serious damage. I can't even imagine what the other side of Houston and Galveston is going through. We still have friends that have no power and Jyusef has been out of school since last Friday. He will go back tomorrow but the students won't return until Tuesday. Since Jyusef had some what of a vacation we decided to go to Little Rock to visit friends and family. We ended up flying because continental was running an awesome special ($69 each way). Yes, the boys had their first airplane experience. I will have to say they were wonderful. Both flights they were very good boys. People kept saying "I forgot they were even babies on the plane. I was a little nervous about their ears popping but we had some ear drops that numb the ear-thank you Melissa! On the way there I gave them Tylenol just in case the drops didn't work, but on the way back we just used drops. The only bump in the road we had was Jaxon spit up all over me 15 minutes into the flight in the way back. I kinda had a feeling he would because he was very full wouldn't burp. Combine that with the turbulence and pressure you get baby vomit. We had a great time in Little Rock and of course, the boys are now spoiled rotten. Between family and close friends the boys we held all the time! I really want go to Searcy and visit Harding but time just got away from us. Hopefully we will get to go to Spring Sing.

On another note, my little brother turned 18 today! I am having a hard time with this one. It seems like I woke up and Michael is all of a sudden a man. I am going to have to brag a little now. Michael is such a good boy! I know that makes him sound all of two but he really is a good kid. He makes such good decisions and you never have to worry about he getting into trouble. He's such a good example to his friends and his nephews. I love watching him with my boys because I know he would throw himself in front of a bus for they. I can already tell they love their Uncle Mike. So happy birthday Michael, I love you very much.

I'm getting ready to return to Katy this week and wonder what we'll face when we get there having left the Thursday before Ike. Glad you didn't sustain damage.

Chris turns 26 today. I can't believe my "baby" is 26! I remember taking HIM on those long 10plus hour plane rides from London to Dallas and then onto Lubbock back when he was a "babe in arms". Glad you guys got a bit of vacation last week - with everything going on this past year, an escape was probably something longed for.
