We had a record snow fall in Dallas yesterday. The most snow in 30+ years is what the weather man says... I got off work early and Gus and I attacked James with snowballs on his arrival home. It was a lovely snow day!

Here are a few snaps (from our real camera). Can you tell Gussy LOVES the snow? Here's a video of him going CRAZY. (I don't know how to flip the screen, so just tilt your head)

And yes, my pants are tucked into my socks and yes, we are in the alley behind the house.

This deep thought should keep you warm on this cold blistery winter day.

Knee Boarding

"FASTER!"

YOU SCREAM.

Your voice barely audible above the engine's roar.

Gliding Across.

Heading for the wake.

Landing SOLIDLY!

Haapppp Happpp Happpy Birthday DAD!

Today is my pop's birthday. This is the coconut pie my mom made for him this morning. The sad part is, it's snowing and freezing like crazy so he may not be able to come home tonight due to the weather. Then that sad sweet coconut pie will be all by itself. :(

HAPPY BIRTHDAY POPS! Hope you don't get stranded in Muenster on your birthday!

NO SLEEP FOR YOU!

Last night James was away on business, so Gustopher and I had the place to ourselves. It was a nice change... We got in our PJ's as soon as we got home. We had yogurt and fruit for dinner without anyone complaining of being hungry and watched stupid girly TV with the volume on mute. Needless to say, we enjoyed a little R&R while James was working.... UNTIL it was time to sleep. It might have been due to the fact that I haven't slept alone in the new house and I heard every single creek or that Gus paced the hall waiting for James to come home... but I woke up every hour, on the hour.

So today I am a zombie. James, when are you coming home?

PS... I need to start actually using my real camera instead of my phone, sorry about the quality.

Burrr

It's cold today and I'm dreaming of being in France, on the pebble beaches, with my husband, watching all the topless French women.

(P.S. They aren't all skinny and beautiful by the way.)

Nickie Fedderson

Long story short: James bought a painting at an auction last summer that didn't really suit our style. It was quite large and not cheap, so I couldn't just throw it out. So I had my friend Nickie Fedderson (also a former Looney employee) basically paint OVER James' painting. With an interior design degree from OSU and a masters in architecture from OU... she's now a full time artist. If you like her stuff, click here to see more.

Anyways, here's a pic from my phone... not a good one, but it will do. We love it. It looks so fresh on our gray walls and fills the space perfectly.

Thanks Nickie, it's awesome.
