Texas time

We are now in the big state of Texas and finally enjoying some warm weather. The first week was very cold but we now have nice warm weather--in the high 50's! It's supposed to rain this weekend and then warm up again.
The boys are enjoying our company and we're enjoying them. John (5) likes me to go hunting for invisible bad guys, and read stories at bed time. Michael (11) just likes hanging out.
Bruce has had an opportunity to play his clarinet with a Jazz group on Wednesday nights. He enjoys being the "new kid on the block".
Amanda and I have taken the dogs to the Millie Bush dog park and went for a walk in the downtown Houston Arboretum. It was very nice and lots of interesting plants and birds. The most exciting thing we saw was an armadillo which did not pose well for us, but we tried to get a few good shots.
We visited a huge Baptist church which was very nice. Everything really is bigger in Texas!
