Welcome to the Brown Family Website!

Halloween 2007

Dear Friends and Family,

Most of you know that we are moving to Katy, Texas. Thomas will begin in early September....which gives us time to explore, shop, and find a home in Katy. We will let you know our new address, emails, and phone numbers as soon as we get them! Since we won't get to see each other as often as we do living in Lake Charles...you can visit our blog to see what we have been up to! I update it often, so you can add it to your favorites or bookmarks!
