Happy Birthday Braden

Braden Perry Cox is 14 years old today. As a teenager,  you can’t really get as excited as you used to about the big birthday party and all the new toys you hope you will get; however, our 14-year-old was up at 7 this morning and waking us up...

Starfish

Found this starfish while I was swimming the other day. I only had my Sony (point and shoot) water proof camera, but I thought it did a pretty good job. Don’t worry, I put the little guy back in the water after I took his picture....

Snow Day!

The Cox family is very happy today. After two months in the States with very “un-wintery” weather, it looks like we will get to see some snow – although we will be seeing it from our hotel room at DFW airport, where we’re stuck until our flight leaves Monday!...

DFW Hotel

We love to stay at the Westin Hotel near DFW. We like it because we get the room for $50 a night, they are super nice rooms and they offer Starbucks coffee in the rooms. Oh, and did I mention they have a landing strip on top of the...
