houston we have a problem...

Well....two stops down (College Station, Houston) and only four (Louisiana, Florida, Georgia & Virginia) to go. On Monday, December 11 we packed our bags and left crazy Waco. One of our first stops was with Russell's Aunt Jane in College Station Texas which is about an hour north of Houston. Check out the "lovely" christmas reindeer (complete which flashing lights & mechanically moving head!) which are the 'in-thing' this year in tinseltown :)




We had a gorgeous three days in Houston staying with Russell's best friends (Jonathan & Heather) & his lovely family (complete with cutzee little Brendy-sue doggie-woggie xox). So we went and looked at the 80,000 capacity 'Reliant' stadium-(next to the old Houston Astrodome) home of Houston's football team and the NASA Space Center,...Houston is so so crazy big! 4million plus just in the city and like talk about sphagetti junction!


They took us down to a cute little coastal town called Kemah where Sarah had the terrifying experience of having a sting ray suck fish bait out of her hand!


Check out Sarh's reaction...It is classic Sarah.


And then we had the precious memory-making time of putting up the christmas decorations with the boys- all dressed smartly in their school uniforms- even Russell!



So now we are in Baton Rouge Louisiana staying with Sarah's bestest friend-Phoebe's daddy who is a professor at the University here. Heading to New Orleans tomorrow to see what's left and remember if you're ever in this neck of the woods- don't swim in the Bayou's...there could be alligators about!


Love you all & see you soon.

Sarah & Russell

WOW! You guys are having a wonderful time. Keep out of the water, Sarah, no matter what Bo says.

Hey, the house is completely empty now. Kind of sad. I'll forward some pics in a day or so.

Love ya and Merry Christmas.

Hi there, Mum & Dad here, glad to see you're having such a great time - we're following you on the map. Loved the sting-ray photo! (Not forgetting the reindeer of course - Dad wants one!)
God bless and keep you safe.

Hey kids. It's great you're having such a good time. Keep on trucking.

Your dad and Christian are about ready to leave for VA.

Be safe.
I love you,
