Family Roster<br />
Mom: Chelsey, works for Health and Human Service<br />
Commission (HHSC of Texas). Went to undergrad at<br />
Baylor University. Originally raised in El Paso, Texas<br />
then family moved to Houston at 18 YO.<br />
Dad: Cobby, attorney for a surgical<br />
center. Went to undergrad at Lincoln<br />
University. Originally from Ghana,<br />
most of his family still lives there.<br />
Daughter:<br />
Nina, 3 YO.<br />
Loves ballet, PJ masks, and<br />
playing dress up.<br />
“We also have a greyhound who is a retired racer, Artie. We got him from a rescue organization. He sleeps most of the time but enjoys walking<br />
in the neighborhood and occasionally runs circles in our backyard. He also is terrified of rain and fireworks so depending on the time of year,<br />
we have to give him special love and attention.”<br />
What They Love to Do<br />
Cobby enjoys biking in the area and exploring<br />
new places with his bike. Chelsey likes going<br />
on walks with their dog and riding her bike, but<br />
admits that she is not quite as adventurous with<br />
bike trails as Cobby.<br />
Nina loves utilizing different playgrounds and<br />
activities at the YMCA and the bounce park. They<br />
spend a lot of time at the pool during the summer,<br />
whether it is at the YMCA or their community pool.<br />
Mom and dad enjoy going on food adventures and<br />
exploring new family owned restaurants. In the<br />
past, they were more involved with the Westcreek<br />
community garden, but haven’t been able to be<br />
as involved this season. They hope to be able<br />
to get more involved in the spring. As a family,<br />
they liked learning about gardening from other<br />
members of the community, especially since they<br />
are new to gardening. Nina really enjoyed pulling<br />
the vegetables though apparently, she wasn’t<br />
always the biggest fan of eating them. Surely<br />
many other parents can relate!<br />
Why They Love Living Here<br />
“We have lived here since the summer of 2015. We like living in the area due to the mature trees, walking and bike paths,<br />
accessible parks, and overall proximity to family friendly activities. We also enjoy the people in this community and love<br />
the diversity of the area.<br />
In the previous cities that we lived in, it was not as easy to get involved in the<br />
community, but that is not the case here. Over the past year, we organized<br />
our block’s National Night Out event which was the first time our block<br />
had this event in years. We also helped with Westcreek’s Easter Egg hunt,<br />
which our community had not had in years. We enjoyed the ability to build<br />
Love is in the Air<br />
How They Express It: “We don’t really do anything for Valentine’s Day. We<br />
exchange gifts and cards but it’s not a big holiday for us.”<br />
Ideal VD: Dad’s ideal Valentine’s Day would be going to a new restaurant<br />
that no one has heard about yet. Mom’s ideal Valentine’s Day would be going<br />
to the restaurant where Dad proposed, but unfortunately that restaurant is<br />
no longer in business. Other than that, Mom would enjoy spending time at<br />
home with a nice store bought meal while watching a movie.<br />
What Makes It Tick: “At Nina’s daycare, they have a Valentine’s Day party and<br />
exchange Valentine’s Day cards. We usually spend the night before Valentine’s<br />
Day getting her school cards ready.” Nina usually receives a timeless stuffed<br />
animal from Mom and Dad (who doesn’t love a new squishy friend?) and<br />
enjoys candy she received from her Valentine’s card exchange at her school.<br />
