The Lone Star State

Well, we are home and settled back into our routine. Our trip to Houston was lovely....not long enough though! It never is. I was nervous to be on the plane with Charlotte all by myself but what do you know...she was perfect! On the way there, she gently stroked the arm of the young man from England who sat next to us (he said he didn't mind) & on the way home, she ended up sitting in the lap of the sweet lady next to us. Easy flying...just the way I like it with a baby!

We pretty much relaxed for 7 days. It could not have been any better....Unless my other brother Kyle was in town : ( We spent a portion of everyday outside either on the swings in the backyard, on a blanket in the frontyard or on a walk. My dad got a new guitar recently and he played & we sang while Charlotte clapped along. We watched Minute to Win It and then had our own competition. We played multiple games of Scrabble. We sewed. We cooked. We visited with friends and neighbors. We did a little shopping, a little eating out & a lot of laughing.

Here is Char with her Grandma & Grandpa


Climbing on Uncle Scott

One of my favorite brothers : )

This is my first outfit to make for Charlotte...with my mother's assistance of course but I was pretty happy with the way it turned out!

Charlotte got to visit with her friend Hannah. They are only a few weeks apart. I love that they have the same hairstyle! Hannah's mom Bethany is a friend from growing up.

We look forward to another visit as soon as we can make it! Thanks for being such an incredible hostess mom : ) We love visiting your house!
