Great News

Shawn finished his last class at A&M today. Now he just needs to put the final touches on his dissertation and do his defense. Hopefully, he will finish up in May and then graduate in August. I am so proud of him. It has been an extremely busy semester for him with working, taking his class, and writing his dissertation.

Here are a couple of pictures from his early school days.

Spring Time

I love spring time. On Saturday, Shawn and I spent the day working in the yard. I planted some petunias while he mowed, and then we put mulch in all of the flower beds. I think it is looking pretty good. The yard isn't completely green yet and the lantana hasn't quite grown back, but it is looking better. Here are some pictures of the work in progress.

Digital Scrapbooking

I have never been able to get into scrapbooking because of everything you need to buy to get started. Plus I do not like my handwriting, so I knew anything I wrote would look bad. I discovered digital scrapbooking this past week and I think this will be so much easier for me. I didn't have all of my pictures on my computer so my first try is just with the few pictures I have. What do you think?

The Past Week

Have you ever seen a heart shaped pizza before? Since, Shawn had class until 7:30, he got us one for dinner for Valentine's Day/my birthday. He also got me a cake and had my car windows tinted. I think he did pretty good job despite the fact that he had class that night.

Shawn thought it would be funny to swap the numbers, I didn't think so.

The best present of all was Andrew coming home from the NICU that day (Adam came home 3 days later). We are so happy to have them home. I had so much fun over the weekend giving them a bottle, changing diapers, and outfits. I think I was asked 8 times, if having them around made me want one. Seems like a silly question to me, I already wanted one. They are so precious and so sweet. I am having so much fun.

Aren't they adorable?

A Joyous Day

On Thursday, my mom and I went to visit Lindsey and the boys. My mom and I got to hold Adam and Andrew for the first time. It was so wonderful. They are still so tiny, yet so much bigger than they were. It was an amazing day and we found out that Adam could be coming home very soon!!!

Colorado

Shawn and I had a great time in Colorado this past week with my parents. We relaxed, skied, and shopped. The weather was great and the snow was perfect.

Here are some pictures from our trip.

Duck Hunting

Shawn and Kenny went duck hunting this weekend at the ranch. Shawn said it was the best duck hunting he has ever seen.

They got lots of ducks!!

Happy Birthday, Lindsey!!!

We hope you have a wonderful day.

Love,

Dana and Shawn

Happy Birthday, Mom!!!

Thank you for all that you do for us.

We hope you have a very special day.

Love,

Dana and Shawn

Christmas Weekend

The Friday night before Christmas, we stayed at the ranch and had the Moore family Christmas. My mom made a great dinner and then the next morning we opened presents.

Luke and Lauren are ready for the Colorado cold.

After our time with my family, we went to Fort Worth for the rest of the Christmas weekend. We had a great time. Mr. Locke made a great meal and we got to visit with Shawn's grandparents. On Christmas morning we went to Shawn's sister, Shannon's house. I forgot the camera. I was so sad that I didn't get to take pictures of our first Christmas morning together. We had a great first Christmas and are looking forward to many more.
