Andrews Family

It’s that time of year again and Olivia is getting her walking shoes ready for her third annual fund-raising endeavor! She’s going to participate as a walker (and this year her goal is to actually walk the whole thing!) while Molly tags along in the stroller for the Texas Alliance for Life “Walk for Life” on June 7th at the Quarries in Austin. To [...]

I don’t have anything against cats, but I doubt anyone had any misconceptions that I’m a cat person. However, Livy’s great aunts on the Kane side are cat people and apparently Livy may be as well. When Aunt Patti sent Livy a birthday email with a cat video link, from a french website no less, [...]

And now for the eldest Andrews daughter - two-year-old Olivia is quite the entertaining gal lately. Her vocabulary has grown immensely, as well as her memory and imagination. She entertains me all day long with “conversation” and stories. Frequently, she recalls our trip to Sea World with cousins Elizabeth & David (where she fell down and “hit the mouth,” after [...]

The long weekend visit of Pope Benedict the XVI has come to a close as he left last night for Rome. I have only been able to watch a few of my recordings so far, but I look forward to catching up and gaining more of the Holy Father’s wisdom in the days and weeks ahead. In [...]

Our new Holy Father arrived in Washington D.C. this afternoon and I have set our DVR to record all of his public appearances. I look forward to “watching him, listening to him, praying for him, and celebrating with great joy the fact that our shepherd is so near.” Here are plans one family has for celebrating his visit. I [...]

Ms. Molly Josephine is really growing up lately. She’s 7 1/2 months old and a happy little cherub. She loves Red and is fascinated by her big sister. In Molly’s world, there is nothing more entertaining than watching Livy play with Red (unless it is Daddy playing with Livy & Red). She has an infectious giggle that makes her whole face [...]

Can it really be April already? I’d swear we just got back from our Christmas trip to NE. I’ve struggled with fatigue, illness and a few challenges with the girls in the last few months and simply put - life here in our little house has been all-consuming. January provided exhaustion from our 2-week trip home, on top of pretty bad [...]

We haven’t been real active lately but hopefully that will be turning around. Jenny and the girls have all been sick but everyone is feeling better now thankfully. It might take a while for use to catch up on all of our blogging and photos (we still haven’t put up Christmas photos), but here is [...]

We recently got AT&T Uverse Internet and TV, including a DVR, which was something new for us. The DVR is pretty handy because it lets you easily schedule your favorite shows to record so you can watch them later. This can lead to some dangerous combinations since one of my favorite shows is Alton Brown’s “Good Eats”. [...]

When we tell people that we have some big news, it usually only takes one guess for them to figure it out. So we thought we’d be a little sneaky and drop a hint on our blog before we came out with our latest news. We alluded to something being “Out of the Ordinary after [...]
