Deep in the heart of TX

We survived! I am not so sure I would call what we went through a "vacation" but it sure was nice to see all of our friends, family and Godson for the first time. Isn't he adorable!

Where to begin?! Traveling with two little ones is definitely a challenge to say the least. Let me just say that there is no way I would ever attempt doing this alone! I do not have the patience for that. This trip has been planned for a very long time and I was itching to just get there and settled. I will say BOTH boys did FABULOUS on the plane. Leelyn had no complaints.

Our first night there was relaxing and surprisingly cool, very un-Texas like. We had dinner at one of our favorite tex-mex restaurant and ended it on grandmas patio. The next morning I met my godson for the first time as did Leelyn and it was friendship at first sight for him, and love at first sight for me. He is adorable and a big boy! We love him so. His sister lala is one of the most beautiful little girls my eyes have ever seen (besides my neighbors little girl Peyton) mom and dad will have their hands full with these two precious ones. I miss my "home" so very much. It is a challenge being so far away, and each trip back just confirms that love more! I have many, many friendships there, and a couple of very xtra-special friendships that I cherish. The kids had a wonderful time and why wouldn't they? Soda, candy, popcorn, chuck e cheese (thanks nana and aunt Jenn). Can you say SPOILED! No wonder Blaine was super sad to come back home, geesh! Brian and I had a wonderful night out with our friends we all know that I love good food, drinks and conversation and there was A LOT of that going on this night. We also spent a wonderful night at a place called Kemah, SO MUCH FUN! You know our obsession with Spongebob, so it was a sure hit with Blaine. Rides, good food and friends, need I say more?!

We unfortunately managed to visit the ER as Leelyn became very ill as was Blaine. He was having a hard time breathing and as you can imagine that was very scary for us. No worries though, all was fine. He ended up with a Viral Infection, and big brother came to his rescue playing Dr. Blaine even though he to had a Bacterial Infection as you can tell by his eyes he isn't feeling well. He loves his baby brother and was very concerned. Have I mentioned how much I LOVE the sling?!

Blaine managed to fall and knock his bottom tooth loose on Saturday at our BBQ (looks good huh?) I have been meaning to make our dentist appointments anyway. This about sums up our week back home. Home is where our heart is, Texas pride! As they say, when in TX do as the Texans do I ended up pretty sick the last two days with what I call a Viterial Infection, a little bit of both! Ha!! I love you guys and we miss you! Kia, I will see you in July, Florida here we come!
