Fun with Nonnie and Bubbie

The weekend before last we went to Liberty Hill, it's always great to spend some time in the 'country'. David took Friday off of work so we had a long weekend to just enjoy ourselves. Nonnie and Bubbie got a big pool for Sam since it's been so hot in Texas and the boy LOVES to be outside. He wasn't totally sure what to think of it, but he did play in it some. Caspian thought it made a great water dish.

Saturday I had lunch with some girlfriends I hadn't seen in far too long. It was wonderful to have lunch at Z Tejas and just enjoy each others company. I'd forgotten how when we all get together the gab just flows and before we knew it a couple of hours had flown by and we all had to run off to get things done. In my case that meant braving Lakeline Mall to get a giftcard for Dan and Anne's wedding that night. We left Sam for the first time for long enough that he'd need to be put to bed without Mama. He did just fine, but my thoughts were always wandering. Though I am proud to say that I only called my in-laws twice to check on him! The wedding was lovely as were the Bride and the reception. There was however a decent amount of confusion involved when people tried to find the reception. No one bothered to mention that the Tuscan Hall was at the Wizard Academy! According to David, "That's so Dan." The Republic of Texas Big Band played, we danced, we ate fajitas, we had FUN! And I think I saw Sam maybe all of an hour that day :(

The following Wednesday Nonnie and Bubbie spent the night with us in Houston and took us all to the Astros game. They were playing the Kansas City Royals (who won in the 11th inning, we didn't stay that long.) It was Sam's first sports game and I think he had a good time, though much more time was spent walking around Minute Maid Park with Bubbie and Dada than watching the game.

We'll be in McAllen for the 4th of July to see Gigi, my Mom. Yay! I'm trying to get ahead in my coursework so that I can not be crazy-midterms-are-next-weekend girl.
