Our trip to Houston

We spent the first week of January in Houston visiting family. It was a bit more exciting than we had anticipated because both my Mom and Dad got remarried in December. So, there were lots of people to visit. We arrived on a Sunday night...really late after a flight delay in Denver. We were able to spend the first night and next day with my Dad, his wife, Jeanie, and her children.

Then it was off to Katy. We had grand plans of doing all the touristy things on this trip, but a few things came up and we didn't get to. Needless to say, it was a very low-key vacation.


We were able to visit with my Grandparents, aunts, and uncles though. I was really excited for them to get to meet Austin, but especially for him to get to meet his Great Grandparents. I think they liked him...I mean really, how could you not?

It was so nice to get to see family. I thought that I had taken a lot of pictures while we were there, but I really didn't. So, if you guys have any pictures from while we were there, please send them to me. Here are a few of the pictures that I do have.

We went to visit James at work one night. He is the manager at a CiCi's pizza in Katy. We were able to eat good pizza, good Mexican food, and I enjoyed quite a bit of BlueBell Ice Cream. Boy, do I love that stuff! (Every trip I have an agenda of where I need to eat...to hold my cravings over until the next time we make it down there!)

One of our family friends has a great dane. This was just a funny picture we took, since this dog is so huge. Austin loves animals, so he did really well with us trying to pose him on the dog.
