Meet my new niece, Aubrey

She is so cute :) I can't wait to see her!

Sorry I can't think of anything interesting right this minute, I'll have to be tagged later ;0)

Please continue to pray for the Bassfords. I can not imagine what they are going through. Go here for a way to help them financially.

New Games

A few weeks ago we went to a party and learned to play , it was so fun!
Then last weekend we learned (Jacob got it at a yard sale, I think it's an old game...?) and . Racko is ok, but Settlers of Catan was really a blast. Now I'm wondering what other fabulous games are out there that we've never heard of! What's your favorite?

PS, any of you from Amarillo these days?

• 

  I am so bummed we didn't get to see you guys yesterday. Maybe we can get together soon!

  I heard back from the one mom tonight and because of their foster situation it didn't work out. So, back to the boards. Hope we get to see you guys again this coming weekend!! This might be a record or something! ;)

  Settlers of Catan is regarded by many to be the best board game of the past few decades. There are expansions and other genres for it as well (see Wikipedia).

  Yeah, I know I am {lucky that is}. Not only did I not get a medal, I didn't even get a verbal recognition. Although, the campers got certificates and trophies AND applause. I would settle for the applause.
