Happy New Year!

I think that is all the news for now! I will post the xmas pics soon. Happy New Year to all my friends! Enjoy the updated pics below and check back soon for more!

So we were so thankful to Billy and Michelle for making the drive up to Dallas twice in a few weeks. They were here for Thanksgiving and then for Chuck's graduation. Harrison is so cute when he calls out our names...I wish you could hear his sweet voice! He is VERY active. Recently, Michelle has been put on bed rest until the twins arrive. Mom is down in Houston right now taking care of the little boy. So prayers for Michelle that she stays healthy and follows orders until those twins arrive!!!

DInner at The Mansion on Turtle Creek

Mom and dad treated the family to a private dinner at The Mansion on Turtle Creek. Back in July, mom and I joined dad for lunch at The Mansion to meet and reserve a room to celebrate Chuck's graduation. Over the Thanksgiving Break we decided on the menu and it was delicious!
Appetizer Course: Choice of
Mansion Green Salad, Seafood Salad, or Beef Short Rib Ravioli
Main Course: Choice of
Chile Rubbed Pork Tenderloin with cheese grits and stone fruit chutney, Pan Roasted Filet Mignon with wild mushrooms, potatoes and beef jus, or Wild River Salmon served on saffron and spring pea risotto.
Dessert: Choice of
Lemon poundcake with lemon souffle`, Mansion Brulee, or the Seven Layer chocolate torte.

Superb food, service and overall experience!!!

Chuck's Graduation

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Here are some pics from Chuck's graduation. We are so proud of him! Listening to the speech, they said that only 9% of the population have a masters...and Chuck not only got his MBA, but graduated with honors!
