In February our family focus will be on three events that we all enjoy. Mom and Dad always go to Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Dad is on the Orpheus Krewe, meaning he is in that parade. The kids enjoy this time with mom and dad gone and the children rule the house. The month always ends with my birthday. Getting older isn't easy but I do get to share it with the most wonderful people on the planet.

What will I see here?

Take a peek into our life as a big family in Houston, TX. Welcome to the electronic journal for the Texas T family. This blog was created to share some moments of our life with you. Often being pregnant with twins while already having 9 children, homeschooling, and being incredibly active in our Catholic faith we are asked “How do you do it?” We invite you to look around, sign up as a follower, and peek into the answer to that question. Remember we are not a perfect family; but I won't post the bad stuff.
Thanks for visiting, Neen

A Look Into the Stars

We often try to visit as many of the wonderful free museums when we are in St. Louis.  They are all so well maintained and wonderful.  Each visit we spend a little time at the St. Louis Science Center. 

This visit I wanted to do something we don't normally do.  We explored only the Planetarium.   There was a cost but with only 4 kiddos we made the most of it.  Miss Brenda joined us which allowed us to explore an almost empty exhibit with freedom to split up and see what ever we wanted. 


 Inside the unique shape is a theater that shows the stars in the night sky.  So beautiful.


 After the show we walked around and explored the exhibit.  We touched a few meteors and even got to touch a small piece of the planet Mars. 




We had a great day!  It ended with a great meal, at our beloved Steak N Shake.
We miss the big kids but worked hard to enjoy ourselves and look forward to their return.
