Rite of Passage

This weekend, Merritt and I attended our first, but probably not last, Chuck E. Cheese birthday party. Mer learned that she's not a fan of giant, costumed mice, but does LOVE vanilla ice cream, while I learned that the next time I go, I can't be pregnant, as I'll need a strong cocktail as soon as I get home. Happy 6th Birthday Lauren Little!

Happy New Year!

Brad and Eric kicking off the New Year in style with a little Madonna.

Holiday Medley '09

I've been a bit of a slacker both on the picture-taking and blog-posting front this holiday season, but with our brand new "grown-up camera" (thanks Hoop and Boobie!), I resolve to do a better job in '10. Meanwhile, here are just a few pics from our wonderful holidays in Houston and San Antonio.

Ice Capades

Let It Snow

This was from the parking lot at Kick, so not very scenic, but you get the idea of how hard the snow was falling.

The Big 0-2

An Elmo-rific birthday celebration with Eric's family welcomed us home from our weeklong AZ visit yesterday. Woo hoo-- Mer is 2!!!
