Houston Trip

We had such a great time. Thank you Adairs for taking care of us for five days. Thank you Jen for the fantastic New Years party. Thank you Liz for my hair.We loved seeing everyone. it was such a nice break from reality.

We totally rock! Jen is playing guitar and her brothers are playing guitar and drums. Gary is the lead singer.

There I am on guitar. Jen named our band "Buckets of Blood".Here is Jen's alter ego "Skull".
This is what the kids were doing while we partied all night. Lorin can bend like a pretzel!

They had a blast.

Here's Gabe a.k.a. "Skull Jr."

This is the only picture we have of Ethan because he ate his food and put himself to bed. I guess he's not much of a rocker.

Brynn was able to stay up for a while but finally passed out. She toppled over right after this picture was taken. Luckily we caught her before her head hit the floor. She slept through the whole thing.This is Gary and I at a great Mexican restaurant called Fajita Flats. The food is fantastic and the atmosphere is great.

Lorin and Austyn say goodbye. it was very sad. These girls are like sisters and there was no shortage of tears afterwards. Lorin was at Austyn's house most of the time we were there.

All of the cousins made a ginger bread house. Their skills as well as their ability to follow directions resulted in a much better gingerbread house than the one we made.

Gary and Karen give each other a big hug.

Our trip was awesome. Unfortunately now we have to deal with the real world.

We got Ethan an appointment to get extensive auditory testing so that we can measure how sensitive he is to noise. I have no idea when he will see a neurologist. He has been wait listed!. There is a shortage of pediatric neurologist who are trained to deal with the issues that Ethan has so it might be a while before he can see a doctor. I was kind of disappointed but everything is in the Lords hand and we just need to be patient.
