Back to Germany Treatment: Round 3

Well, Brad & I made it back to Germany this morning....it was quite an adventure in getting here, but we made it. We got up early on Tuesday morning, played with the kids a little bit and left the Bosse's at 8:30am. As we were heading back to Houston, I was on the phone with my assistant Mary, asking her to go ahead and print our boarding passes for us for our 9:55pm flight that night out of Houston. She was having a lot of difficulty so eventually she called Air France directly to see about our reservations. Once she spoke to them on the phone, they told her that our flight that evening had been cancelled and we were now reserved for the 4pm flight that day! That was good information to know considering it was about noon when we found out and we were still two hours outside of Houston. It was a good thing we called! I had even contacted the airline the day before and was told that our flight was scheduled to leave on time...no mention of any changes. So we went straight to the airport...no stopping by the house and jumped on our plane. Jamie & Doug Cox met us there with a few items we still needed from the house & then they drove our car back to Deer Park. Thank you Doug & Jamie!

I decided to forgive Air France for their slip-up in not calling us with a sudden change of itenerary because once we were boarded they allowed me to move up to Business class to sit next to Brad (I was supposed to be in Economy). It was a much more enjoyable flight with him right next to me, plus the larger, more comfortable seat wasn't too bad either.

Tonight we are here with Isolde. We will get up first thing in the morning and head to Markt Berolzheim for Brad's first day at the clinic. Thank you for your prayers for a safe trip...all in all (once we got on the plane)...it was a fairly easy trip!

Posted Pics Finally

See below for the slideshow of a few pics from the tournament. If you have other great ones, please email them to me so I can add them.

Mommy-Daughter Pictures

I bought K & myself matching turquoise sun dresses this summer. We went ahead and took a couple of pictures together while we had them on yesterday...before you know it fall will be here & it won't exactly be the right weather for sleeveless dresses. Also, K is modeling her new haircut. I took her in on Saturday..her bangs were getting really long. I knew that if we didn't cut them before we left...by the time we got back she would certainly resemble a sheep dog.

2 Little Monkeys

K Loves The Trampoline

K loves to jump. She doesn't care for standing on the trampoline on her own...AT ALL...it's much too unstable for her taste. However, if you hold her and jump...now, that is HILARIOUS!

Fun In Kerrville

We have been having so much fun here in Kerrville for our "Hurrican Evacuation Party." Zeke just loves being here...chasing his cousins, jumping on the trampoline, driving the golf cart & 4-wheeler, playing games, playing "ballyball," & swimming. He is in his element with the non-stop entertainment & the never-ending source of playmates. Heaven must look like this in Zeke's eyes.

The first 2 pics are of the kids making designs with geometric shapes. I was really impressed with all the designs they created.


This is Zeke in the pool with his swim trunks on his head...and yes, that makes him skinny-dipping. Crazy child....absolutely no modesty. We are trying to instill some of that before he is a teenager.

I just love these pictures of Cal & Zeke...so sweet.

Go Astros!

Our kind friend, Jan Wheeler gave us Astros tickets last week for both the Monday & Wednesday night games. Jan is the director of Project Joy & Hope (www.joyandhope.org) and has been a huge help to our family during Brad's medical trials. Jan & Shelley both joined us for Wednesday night's game as we witnessed Miguel Tejhata's Grand Slam...it was great! Jan also spoiled both kids with ice cream and Astros souveniors (K got a pink monkey & Zeke got a Stros' bat). Thank you Jan for your kindness....the game really was a lot of fun!!!
