shuttle flyover.
since we are a NASA family, i couldn’t get away with not showing these pictures. the shuttle was forced to land in california because of bad weather at KSC in florida. in order to get it back to florida, they load the shuttle on the back of a modified 747 and fly it cross country. last thursday, NASA had the 747 do a flyover of JSC (& as a result, a flyover over much of houston). i wasn’t able to see it but brian said all of JSC was outside watching it come over. it was apparently quite a sight! here are some pictures that were sent to me so you can get an idea of what it looked like…

snow.
yesterday, i had a doctor’s appt in the med center so we headed out about 2:30. i had heard reports that we might get sleet or snow but kind of blew them off. i mean, really, snow before christmas?? in houston?? sure! on the way home from the dr, it starting sleeting on us and we were hearing reports of snow in north and west houston. considering we live in southeast houston, we were still expecting nothing.
i went outside about 6:30 and it was starting to snow a bit but nothing was really sticking. still fun though!
around 9:30, we went outside again and our yard and house was covered with snow! rylea & addie didn’t know what to think of it all and took some convincing to go out and play in it. when their daddy went outside, they quickly followed – of course. they truly are daddy’s girls!
here are some pics of our snow covered house & weims. enjoy!
“mum, what is that white stuff?
we’re not so sure about this –you know we don’t like rain!” ~rylea & addie
the backyard an hour later. we REALLY got snow!
addie was the brave weim to venture out into the snow first but still wasn’t so sure.the front of the house. can you believe this is houston, texas – right by the water?!?!”ok, ok, i’m out here daddy but asking me to sit in this really cold, white stuff is a little much don’t you think??” ~rylea “can i hunt these snowflakes? they really aren’t that scary after all!” ~addie rylea’s still trying to figure out what the heck is going on.

our 4 legged babies.
just so you don’t think we have completely forgotten about them with the baby on the way(& trust me, we haven’t - they are still as spoiled and rotten as ever!), here are some pictures of our weimies playing and snuggling – their 2 favourite things to do!
addie has a thing with towels. she can keep herself entertained with them for hours! aren’t we cute??
