Happy Birthday to Luke!

Luke turned four the day after Thanksgiving. We were in Houston with a bunch of family to celebrate. He got to go to the park with daddy and grandpa in the morning and then had a party with his great aunts and uncles along with the rest of us (mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, uncle steve, hannah and grandma Vickery). We had a huge bouquet of balloons for him, a cake with an airplane on it and presents. He had a great time opening his gifts (it took him forever, which I thought was awfuly cute and made his excitement last), devoured his cake (okay, devoured the frosting!) and had a blast releasing his balloons one by one into the sky. Later that evening when he was getting ready for his bath, I asked him if he had a good birthday and he exclained "I DID! And they all sang the Happy Birthday song to me!"

Deep in the Heart

We're here, we're here! We're calling Texas our home for the next 20 months or so and I'm thinking I need to change the name of our blog. :)
We arrived in Lubbock on the 22nd of October and boots to the ground, we started hunting for houses. We found a house that isn't available until the middle of this month which is perfect for us considering our first (very very small) shipment of our house won't be here until the 21st or so. The rest of our belongings should arrive right before Christmas.
So, a house has been found. We're still hunting for dentists, doctors and a preschool for little man. We are going to visit 2 schools next week and see if Luke likes what he sees.
I've been taking some pictures here and there but for some reason, Brian's computer won't read my memory card so I have to waiti until our November shipment of belongings arrives so I have my own computer. So you will all have to wait for the pictures from the Texas Tech football game that we took the kids to last week. I do, however, have a few pictures from Brian's camera and I'll share them because I'm nice. ;)
I'm sewing again therefore my brother's house has little fabric scraps and threads everywhere and his dining room has become my work space. It probably stresses him out a bit but we're only here for a couple more weeks - I think he can live with it until then. I have some fun new items in my Etsy shop and can't wait for the rest of my inventory (from my sewing in Germany) to get here so I can have a huge blowout sale!
I'll try to update more frequently now that we are semi- settled.
Here are a few pictures. I'll pull some more off of Brian's memory card this weekend.
