2008 Books I've Read

I read fifty-three books this past year. My goal was to try and read 100. I didn't make it. I got just over halfway there. I won't try to make any excuse (like I did have a baby in April). I'll just try again this year.

Quick Updates

Yesterday, Goob started army crawling and he even tried to get up on his hands and knees. I'm sure he'll be fully mobile by the New Year.

Tomorrow, the Goobie and I are flying to Houston to spend a few days with my parents. I'm terrified of the hour long flight. Wish us luck.

I think I found Goob's calling.

He's going to be a race car driver!

"Okay, maybe if I let Mom take one picture of me, she'll put the camera down and push me."


"Fine, take a close up. Then put the darn camera down and push me. I want to feel the wind in my curls!"


"Jeez. What is my mother doing? Push me. QUIT TAKING PICTURES!"


"HAHA! My grandpa came to my rescue. Push me higher!!"

"I'm too fast for you, Mommy. No pictures, please. I've got to concentrate!"

A Trip to the SA Zoo Last Month

At the beginning of last month, we went to visit my inlaws in San Antonio. We decided to visit the zoo. Here's a few pics.
