Ah to be a better blogger...

Well my friends it has been a while since this blogging community and seen my writings. They are few, far, and in between, but hopefully this will soon all change. Our blog just received a minor face lift and I am newly motivated to contribute more:) So here we are. Maggie and I are in Birmingham, Alabama awaiting the arrival of sweet baby Frances Adele Howell. Baby Frannie has been the highlight of most of our conversations for the past few months and her grand debut is TOMORROW! We have loved our time so far here in Birmingham and can't wait to celebrate with Big and JoJo tonight. It brings such sweet joy to my heart to be here for Frannie's big day. She is already so loved. The Cole family will be gearing up for a Seaside trip after Frannie is here. Tyler will drive from Plano to Birmingham AL Thursday afternoon. Thats right my friends 10 hours by himself. Don't fret. He will be loaded down with audio books and plenty of energy drinks to power a heavy machine. We can't wait for him to be here too. We will post some pictures of our trip when we get back. Until then!
