Claire's Original Artwork

Claire was inspired at church last night to create this piece of art.

Battleship Texas

No trip to the San Jacinto Monument is complete without boarding the Battleship Texas.

And while you're there, why not fire a few rounds downrange? Emma was aiming a little low.

Don't let the smile fool you. Claire knew exactly how to aim. Nothing got past her.

Requisite group photo. Except for me, of course.

The monument from the boat.

San Jacinto Monument

We recently toured the San Jacinto Monument, after I realized we'd never taken the kids.

After some time looking around outside, we made our way to the Observation Floor.

The reflecting pool. In the upper right is the Battleship Texas. Below is the marshland and the Lynchburg Ferry.

Next stop, the battleship.

Kyle Field Sunset

While Emma enjoyed her funnel cake prior to the LSU game on Thanksgiving, I caught this shot of sunset from our roost on the third deck of Kyle Field.

Another football season in the books. See you at Kyle Field next year.

High School Football

My friends Rhonda and Raul invited me the watch their son play football for Waller High School and were kind enough to get me an on-field pass to take photos. It was a total blast. And it's true what they say, the game is faster the closer you are.

And a special thank-you to David R. for letting me borrow his lens. Without it, none of these pictures would have been possible.

Some of my favorites from their game against Magnolia West. Waller is in the gray jerseys.

The rest of the photos are here.

They invited me back a couple weeks later for the game against Willis.

The rest of my photos from this game are here.
