Valentine Pancakes and a Contract

We spent Valentine's Day at Nonni and Pop's house this year, since February 14th fell at the end of our first house hunting adventure to TX.

To help us celebrate all the "luv" AND the fact that someone had put a contract on our OK house in our absence (how convenient that all our showings took place when we were out of town!!) only 7 short days after we listed it (thank you Lord!) Vaughn, Nonni, and Pop made pancakes for us all to enjoy together.



First, you pour in the flour (which Pop had put into the ranch dressing shaker-upper! Why, you ask? Because that's where Vaughn wanted it of course!!).




See, I told you this shaker thing would be just GREAT for pouring flour!




Next, comes the milk. No special equipment needed!




Now it's time for the eggs!




Now, just to be sure we haven't forgotten anything, let's double check our recipe! (This part was totally Vaughn's idea!)




Now we just mix well, and let Nonni work her magic on the griddle!

The pancakes were yummy, and YES they were heart shaped!

(**note-we enjoyed a HUGE snow while we were there and I am planning on posting some pictures soon, but this multiple-picture/paragraph posting from my phone is for the birds! I will work on it fr the computer!)

In the words of John Denver...

..."Hey, it's good to be back home again!". Even if is just for a little while! As most of you (my 8 faithful readers) have heard, the Green family is moving back to Texas! Jason has an opportunity to continue working for Cargill AND move us all back to the Texas hill country...a combination that we thought was virtually impossible when he first took the job with Cargill a year and a half ago. God is good!

So, in preparation for our upcoming relocation, Jason and I took a trip to areas between Austin and San Antonio to familiarize ourselves with neighborhoods and start the house hunt.

We dropped Vaughn off at Nonni and Pop's house...


where he enjoyed pancakes,


tiring trips to Mamaw Rhyne's house,



and good times at the Discovery Science Place in Tyler.

Knowing that V was I great hands, Jason and I took a fun detour to College Station, TX where we enjoyed dinner and a few cold ones at The Dixie Chicken! YUM!


After MUCH debating and hours of driving around (from Seguin to Buda!)...





(Cara and Eric, this picture is for y'all!)



We hope to soon be calling the beautiful area of New Braunfels HOME!

All we have to do is sell a house in Oklahoma!
