So here is mom… I am not in this picture because seriously I did not have any desire to go out in the snow in a tee shirt and Seahawk hat. And let the record show that she had just bought it at JC Penney and then wore it out into the snow to take her picture to send back down to El Paso to all the perfectly sane people that were basking in the fact that Christmas was 70 degrees and sunny. I was snuggled up in the truck sleeping… it had been a long couple of days… Mom and I left Friday night and headed for Houston to pick up the kids. It should have been an easy trip… we were supposed to land, get picked up by the airport shuttle and then Shannon would bring the kids to the hotel. Well, after waiting for about an hour for the shuttle that never showed up, Shannon ended up picking us up at the airport and then taking us to the hotel. I decided to take a little nap while everyone went to dinner but they told me about it when they got back… they walked for MILES (Ok, probably just like 2 miles) to get to a restaurant for dinner… they decided on Mexican food… I like Mexican food… the whole instant gratification thing with the chips and the salsa on the table, which is good for me! Anyway… so they went and had dinner at Pappasitos Cantina and then came back to the hotel and crashed out…. We got up the next morning (SO EARLY!) and headed for the airport on the shuttle. We flew to Seattle with no problems but when we got there I saw TONS of white stuff on the ground. And I didn’t even have a JACKET! It was crazy! So the family was in the mall shopping and I was snoozing when the picture was taken. The family also had lunch at Red Robin (Sarah’s request) and here is a funny note… you will need it to understand about the hospital later… Sarah and Daniel both ordered burgers and Mom made them have theirs well done. She got a weird look from Eric and she said that she didn’t want the kids to get E. Coli poisoning but if he wanted to kill himself with it he could. So he had his medium. You will need to know that later =) So they did all of their Christmas shopping, and drove home from Lynwood in a snowstorm and tumbled into bed to do Christmas the next morning. Ok… gotta run, I will tell you about Christmas soon, cuz it leads to the hospital stay… so crazy!!!!
