It's been too long, friend.

Indeed it has been too long! I have just fallen off the map here in blog world. I have been so busy at home trying to keep up with life in general and just haven't placed this at the top of my list. I miss blogging, really. I know it sounds silly, but this is really an outlet for me. I have been told many times that I write a lot, and it's probably because I really enjoy it. I enjoy recapturing the memories we have made as a small and extended family, and reliving all of the fun times with friends. Well, I'm going to not do the last few months justice, but here are some pictures to capture what's been going on with the Morris family...

My family (Katie) doing the Turkey Trot, sans my mom, who had knee surgery and opted to tend to the turkey at home while we trotted.

At a Dallas Stars Game, something we love doing together... I think Grant and Abby came with us to this one!

Our First Christmas in our First Home!

We went to Northpark to see the Trains... Olivia and Papa are enjoying all the fun trains, and Olivia made Papa wear the hat she was supposed to wear.

Erin and Ben, he's more interested in the trains!

Once again, more interested in the trains. What a boy!

"Big D NYE"... it really stunk this year as compared to last. There must have been some sort of burn limit because the fireworks lasted about 2 minutes. But we had fun with friends!

Laura and me on NYE, freezing and trying to entertain the boys. We played 20 questions for about an hour and a half!

Valentines 2009- We decided to keep last years tradition, but rotate. Last year, Trog and Caleb sent Mendi and me on a Scavenger hunt. Well, with Mendi being preggo and on bed rest, she obviously couldn't scavenge. We added Shane and Laura to the equation and sent all the boys out for a "day-o-fun!" The girls stayed home and made Mendi's baby shower invitations and a delicious dinner for us to enjoy that night when we reunited!

Shane and Caleb playing the gee-tar at Guitar Center.

Trog on the drums, the hair makes him look legit.

Lunch at Chammps.

Rock climbing. They look whipped.

My Spiderman... apparently Caleb is pretty good at this!

The Spread we prepared for them. It was delicious!

So there ya have it. I will try to be better. Next post will probably be on the latest updates we've made to our house. It is one project after the next... but I love it! Stay tuned....
