Josh's Turn!

hey folks. it's josh. tiffani let me write on the blog! YAY!!! anyway. i was going through some pictures from this past summer, and I came across some pictures I took while we were in San Antonio for Tiffani's birthday! This was the first trip we took without our beautiful baby girl Simone!

I am so excited about this blog so people can keep up with us and know whats going on in our lives! God has been blessing us a TON!!!


This is an old hotel from the view of the front of our hotel called "Hotel Valencia"




This one was hard to get, cause I had to stand in the middle of the busy main street to get this shot, but it was so cool to see the trolley's and the whole street, I thought.


                      This is the first restaurant we dined at during our weekend. Definitely the best TexMex I've had since moving here.



                        This is the view from the RiverWalk to our hotel. It was awesome!


This was the view of the RiverWalk from our hotel. Just an awesome trip.










We are blessed!!! That is all!!

Blogging is Fun... Right?

Hello All,
As many of you may know we, The Brown Family, are busy bee's with a jammed packed life!
Although i truly enjoy picture taking, scrap booking, album making, etc., I am quickly finding out that as an adult with a full time job, a 6 month old, and every other thing on my weekly list, i am not able to capture these times as i would like. Therefore, i am starting a blog! Well, WE are starting a blog. (I guess i will allow josh to post here also :)) I figure this will be a great way for us to keep memory of our lives and an even better way for our friends and family to keep track of whats going on in BrownTown.

If you don't already know, last week we went to Chicago to take Simone for her initial evaluation at the Shriner's Hospital. She has a cleft (hole) in her soft pallet (back of her mouth) that opens up to her nose. The Shriner's are WONDERFUL people who are going to do Simone's surgery for 100% FREE to us! They even pay for our flights, hotels, and taxis! SUCH A BLESSING! They said they are going to set her up for surgery in January or February, and as soon as we know we will be posting about it.  Here are a few pictures from our first of many Chicago trips!


Simone had her very first plane ride.



It was cold in Chicago!



And the people at the Shriner's Hospital were so nice!



Over all it was a great trip :)
