Here's a few pictures Roxanne and Nick (Malia's future Godparents) took of the television during the "ESPN College Gameday" broadcast on the UT campus this morning. As you can see, both Roxanne and her sign were on national television! Malia - we hope you will be a Longhorn fan too!! Hook 'em Horns!

Spiderman for Halloween

Alex chose a Spiderman costume for Halloween this year. We did have to stop and admire the Ariel costume (The Little Mermaid) because Alex has a mad crush on her. :)

New friends on the block

We joined a yahoo group for families waiting to adopt from China called FCCAustinWait. Here is the description of the group:

This group is for families waiting to adopt from China in and around the Austin, Texas area. If you are looking into adoption, paperchasing, DTC, or have recently returned from China we welcome you to join us! We will also have monthly "pot luck" dinners to get to know each other and share in this incredible journey!

Please join us as we wait...and wait...and wait...for referrals!

Through this group, we met another couple waiting to adopt from China, Kelly and Chris. Hi guys!! They are in the paper chase right now and happen to live only 4 houses down the block from us! We are already swapping adoption books and general books about China. What a small world.

Cheers!

Natural Bridge Wildlife Park, New Braunfels

Marc took Alex to the Natural Bridge Wildlife Park in New Braunfels on his "Daddy Day."

Croc shoe accessories

Momma and Dada: Alex, put your shoes on so Gem'a can get a picture of your Disney Crocs accessories from Hunny.
Alex: Hahahahahahahha NO SHOES HA HAHAHAHAHHA (kicking shoes off).

Gattitown

Alex's favorite restaurant is Gattitown. Here we are on the roller coaster ride where your seat shakes, leans, and sways, and you watch a roller coaster video. What's not to like? Can you tell it's making Marc ill?

Your Mom's 40th Birthday

Malia, your mom & dad just got back from mom's 40th birthday gift...........a carribean cruise! Brother Alex stayed with grandmother Gema for the week and had a ball in College Station. See how relaxed we look? Won't it be fun when all four of us get to take a trip?
