Don't Drink and Dance (or Drive)

Madame Barrett

Here is our famed Barrett playing a fortune teller for a video clip for church with Caleb Kuykendall (aka Carl). The clip he is in is 2 minutes or less.

I'm so proud

Been listening to the new Cross Timbers Worship CD called Arrival (a Christmas album) this morning while I was puttering around the house cleaning. I'm not sure when they go on sale, but you can listen to a few songs online at:

Barrett sings on two tracks on the CD, the one on the website is "Angels We Have Heard On High".

There's Something About...

Family!

My parents, Oscar and Glenna (aka Abu and Ma-MO), spent last week with us while they are visiting from Bolivia until December, spending most of their time in Oklahoma City. It is so good to spend time with them, but also to have Whittaker spend time with his grandparents. They have such a special bond that is different than his bond with us as parents and even with our close friends. I am so thankful for family!

Watch This!

These kids are singing "Happy Day" by Tim Hughes...too funny!

Drum Lovin'...

This video was taken at the Christmas Eve '06 rehearsal and Whittaker clamoring at his chance to play the drums.

Due in June...

June 9th is our due date for baby #2. This is a sonogram picture of baby at 6 weeks 4 days. We won't be able to find out if baby is a boy or girl until late January or early February.

My doctor is a part of Womens Integrated Healthcare in Grapevine and will be delivering at Baylor Grapevine Hospital. The website for the doctor's office is http://www.wih.cc/ and for the hospital is www.baylorhealth.com/locations/grapevine.
