August 2007
August saw Susan and the girls making another road trip to Iowa and back. During the long haul back to Texas Rob joined them in Kansas City where we celebrated Emily's birthday with Deb, Bill, Jessica and Samantha (at Carol and Tom's house, while they were away on vacation). As we were passing through Oklahoma we picked up a new family member, Gabriella (Gabby for short), a very cute mix of half Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and half Havanese.

August 2007: Hawaii vacation
In August we visited Hawaii (big island) for 5 wonderful days and nights. We spent the first two nights on the West side of the island (the Kona coast) at the luxurious Hilton Waikoloa Village. We then traveled over the top of the island to Hilo on the East side and stayed at the basic but friendly Dolphin Bay Hotel. During our trip we swam with turtles, visited Volcanoes National Park and lots of beaches, snorkelled with tropical fish, swam in a volcanically heated pool, saw lava trees and enormous waterfalls and generally had a lot of fun.

July 2007: England vacation
Our annual trip to Devon and Cornwall, staying in Rob's home town, Tavistock. This year's trip seemed to fly by; we were able to stay for about 2 weeks. During that time Rob spent a week on business visiting IBM in Hursley, Hampshire. We were able to visit all of our favourite places including Dartmoor and one of our favorite beaches, Polzeath (twice!). Lionel and Phyllis were once again excellent hosts. We ate numerous pasties, loads of fish 'n' chips, tubs of clotted cream and Rob had plenty of cider.

April 2007: Easter Eggs at Grandma's
The girls spent Easter at Grandma's house painting eggs. Most of the paint actually made it to the eggs!

March 2007
In March we had one of our trees taken down because it unfortunately had been hit by lightning 18 months earlier and had suffered a slow death since then. Looking on the bright side, the pool now gets more sun, which led to the girls taking a dip before March was over, brrrrr!

March 2007: Udvar-Hazy Center Visit
In March, during Spring Break, we took a day-trip to the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, companion facility to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C.
It was a terrific day out with lots of exciting things to see and do.

February 2007
February brought Sarah's 11th birthday and some fun dressing up: Sarah for a '50s party at school and Emily as Jane Goodall (complete with very real looking monkey) for her school's wax museum evening.

January 2007
Sarah and Emily received rollerblades for Christmas in 2006, so January 2007 started with lots of exercise, and just a little snow!
