A white Christmas


The Fry house in the December snow – an unusual beauty.

Judy and Clifford Fry


Judy and Clifford Fry wish you a very Merry Christmas.

Alex Babineaux


Alex and Bella take Tae Kwon Do, and they are advancing in their skills. I know, because one day Alex nearly broke my thumb. (Clifford talking) Here is Alex preparing for battle.

Kristin Fry Babineaux and Clifford Fry


Kristin and Clifford enjoyed a daughter/dad night out - one of too few over the years.

Judy and Kristin, soul mates


Misty Raines


If you don’t think that cancer can take the young and beautiful from us, take a look at Misty Raines, who we lost in November. Judy and Misty were like sisters. Judy and Elouise held a birthday gathering for her at the Junkins’ house in September. That was her "outing".

A close crew


Misty was a regular at our jam sessions, a regular visitor to our house, and a close consistent telephone buddy of Judy’s. Clifford and Judy are with Misty and John McGee after a jam session.

Judy & Misty


Judy prepared a houseful of food for those who attended Misty’s visitation, and Judy spoke at Misty’s funeral. The last song Misty sang with the band at our jams was “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door”.

Bella makes sure Nicholas cannot say "NEVER BEEN KISSED".


Bella (6), Nicholas (4), Alex (10), Gabe (4): They are no trouble at all.


Clifford's hat takes on a new friend in Gabe, here by the Babineaux's pool.


Gabe and Nicholas - two good natured and loving boys.


The Babineaux's in Galveston


Alex is with James LeBlanc in Galveston at Willie G's. The two have been friends for most of their lives.


Alex and Bella Babineaux: Clifford takes them to school every morning.

Here are Clifford and Bella in Junkins' boat, escorted by John across the waters. Visits to the Junkins' lake house are always a treat, and the Fry family went several times in 2008.
This picture was taken as Alex and Bella prepared to go see Miley Cyrus in concert at the Lanier law firm Christmas party in Houston with Clifford and Kristin.

Babineaux's and Fry's

We all went to the Houston rodeo in March and saw everything from pig races to a John Fogarty performance. Here are our grandchildren at the rodeo.





Here is Babineaux/Fry clan at their annual outing at the Renaissance Festival, minus the LeBlancs this year.
