Nadirah's Driving

Me making her pose at the DMV.

Jeremy instructing on how to reverse out of the driveway.

Getting the seat, mirrors, etc...ready.

Off we go.

This summer Nadirah finally started driver's ed. You take three classes, take a test and then get your permit so you can get some practice driving at home before you have to drive with the school. So here she is for her first time behind the wheel. Other than scaring me to death by driving way too close to the right hand side of the road and any vehicle that may or may not be parked there she does pretty good and every time she drives she gets better and better.

Family Vacation 2009

This year for our family vacation we took a trip to Galveston over the fourth of July weekend. We stayed at the Treemont Hotel; which by the way is super nice and has huge rooms. We spent the entire weekend doing what we love best....playing on the beach enjoying the sunshine. The first night we went to a seafood restaurant that was right on the water overlooking the bay, walked The Strand and then hung out on the Hotel's rooftop terrace. Day 2 was spent all day at the beach and pool...the last picture is Riley and Bailey walking back after allowing the current to take them from one pier to the next. We had to go find them and they had NO idea how far they had traveled. Other than the fun in the sun we also went to a movie, ate lots of yummy food, played games in our hotel, went to Moody Gardens and the aquarium before heading home again. Though a short trip we had a lot of fun. Can't wait till next year when Jeremy has all of his vacation time built up again.
