8th Anniversary

Sitting next to the river.

Christmas tree by the mall.

We celebrated our anniversary with a nice dinner on the River Walk under all the Christmas lights.  It was a beautiful night...a little chill in the air.  We walked around a little before and after dinner and enjoyed the weather and the Christmas decorations.  Not too many people out on a Tuesday night.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I love Thanksgiving.  This one was extra special for many reasons.  We were so happy to have Don's parents out just like the last several years, but this year Jeff, Julie, and Caleb also made the trip out.  So much fun.  We were so excited to share the news that we're expecting Clark baby #4 in June.  And, I think I may have discovered my Grandmother Campbell's recipe for mashed potatoes (my all time favorite that my poor mom is still sad about...not really...well, maybe a little).  The moment that was so extra special for me was when Cadynce said the prayer before our Thanksgiving meal.  We all stood in a circle holding hands, and what an awesome prayer she said.  I was quite choked up at what she said, and her courage to pray in front of all the adults.  Don was supposed to follow her but he had no words.  We had a fun weekend.  Thank you all for coming out and making our Thanksgiving so special.  View Album for more pictures.

Proud Wife...

Our blog is mostly about sharing our kids and what's going on in our life here in Texas, but sometimes I just have to share a little bit about my husband.  This past weekend was Veteran's Day, and (as you know) Don works for a company who serves the military.  This is the second year with their partnership with the NFL (super cool), and they wanted to do something amazing to show their gratitude to the men and women who serve our country.  This is a picture of one of the eight card stunts they did around the country.  I didn't know much about card stunts, but the pictures at this link give you a better idea how they work.  And, you get to see a little glimpse at the fun side of his job.

Trick or Treat

We had a fun night of Trick or Treating around the neighborhood.  Cadynce and Donnie ran the whole time, and squealed with excitement at each piece of candy that went in their bucket.  View Album for more pictures.
