Fall Fun in South Texas

Fiesta Texas

South Texas Corn Maze (Hondo Tx)

Fall is unique in this part of the country, weather being the major contributing factor. The weather has changed around here, it's not summer anymore, but it's warm and mostly sunny.  I think this gives us some great weekends! In the span of a little more than a week we enjoyed all of this fun stuff! We were lucky to have good friends and family with us and It made me think how lucky we are.  


If you don't live here, you should really plan a fall visit, so much to do and so beautiful.

Adoption Support
We have a fabulous group of Adoptive families that we meet with a few times a month.  "Chosen Families" has been a fantastic resource for us.  The kids get to hang out with other adopted kids and we get that parental help we need in our unique situations.  We have all types of adoptions in our group, foreign, domestic private, kinship and, like us adoptions from Foster Care.  Our next scheduled activity is a day trip to Lost Maples where we hope all our kids find adventure.  If you or someone you know has a chosen family or is considering adoption you can contact us on our Facebook page. This group was organized by the boys elementary school music teacher.  She has 4 adopted kids all came to her in different ways so she has great experience. When she told her family story to her students she was surprised and delighted to find out how many of them were in chosen families, so she promptly got us all together.  Another lucky break for my family and a remarkable example of our community coming together to help each other.  


Well, back to updating my Idevices to IOS 5 (I hope).
