Drus First Trip to the Beach

Doggie to the Beach

We're taking Dru to the beach for the first time today. We'll post video later to let you know how it goes.

For four winters...

This is the Iowa we knew. Too much for this Texas girl!

Hillary Clinton launches presidential bid



New York: United States Senator Hillary Clinton announced on Saturday her campaign for the presidency.

"I'm in and I'm in to win," she said on her website. In a videotaped message, Clinton invites voters to begin a dialogue with her on the major issues, such as health care, Social Security and Medicare, and the war in Iraq.

How did we miss it?

SCHOOLS IN SESSION!

(image totally stolen from the MS. Films website...visit it...it rocks!)

So last night was the first class of the semester. Senior Seminar Documentary. As always, lots of energy and excitement amongst the students. Have I mentioned that I love teaching this class? Its always hard to leave Austin when holiday is over, but coming back home Andre and I both felt like we were launching yet another new adventure. Wilmington is such a positive place for us as filmmakers and teachers. Every day we're thankful.

Sisters

So good news and bad news today.

First the good news. Ended our holiday travels with three days at my middle sister Tammy's house. This is only the third time Ive seen her in my whole life. Such an exciting thing to be getting to know her after all these years. She's an amazing sculptor and has these three rowdy, beautiful boys so its always an adventure when Im there.


Isn't she lovely?

On a sadder note: My baby sister Diana is having doggy troubles. Her new puppy Rivers (who became Dru's BFF over Christmas) has gotten Parvo (a very serious, very taxing viral disease). Right now he's in the hospital getting plenty of fluids and care, but all your positive thoughts and prayers will be greatly appreciated as he recovers. Andre and I get sad every time we imagine him with a little IV. Get well Rivers!
