Memorial Day Weekend

We always look forward to our trips to see the family in Houston. Savannah and Lexi enjoy the extra cuddles, kisses, playing games, helping on the computer, and now torturing (chasing & hugging) the newest member of Dwayne & Kina's household - Patches, the kitten. For Memorial Day, we got together over at Fidel & Reama's house for barbecue and lotsa southern comfort foods. Yummy. It was nice to visit and relax a bit with the family AND enjoy a leisurely weekend together. Thanks to everyone for your hospitality.

"You should smell our pits" - The Salt Lick BBQ

Mmmm... we love our Texas barbecue! There are a lot of great places to go and one of our favorites is The Salt Lick in Round Rock. We also like the outdoor area for the kids to play around and for us to visit with good friends.

Baby Communication

It's funny how at ten months old a light bulb comes on and our babies conform to our way of communicating... Lexi is making efforts to communicate with us all and seems to be catching on to using hand gestures/baby signs to let us know what she wants. She has started to grunt, point and does the true sign for drink. I still need to capture it on video... It seems like just yesterday that we were amazed at Savannah's first communication, now she's a full time talker and most of the time we can guess what it is that she is saying. My favorite form of communication from Savannah is her singing. She has great pitch and seems to really enjoy listening & making music.

Texas Wildflowers

What's sweeter than a field full of blooming wildflowers in the spring? Two sweet girls placed in that field, of course!

Feeding/Chasing Ducks

En route to our dear friends the Howa's there are several parks and a favorite one is the duck pond. These lucky ducks are probably the best fed ducks ever because oftentimes they snub us and make us walk to them to feed 'em. :-) Well Savannah doesn't mind at all. She gladly chases those ducks & geese with a fistful of bread and then will toss it at them. SOooooo fun to watch. I must get a video before she grows out of the habit!
