Abram at the Lake

Texas: Day Two

I've already mentioned a few of our favorite things about visiting Dallas:

1. Seeing Tom and Merrie

2. Great food

3. Great weather

Here is number 4:Going to The Container Store! Okay, so it is one of MY favorites! It is only 15 minutes away. The guys stayed home this morning while Merrie and I spent 2.5 hours in The Container Store! I'm not kidding. We looked at every possible item you could buy. I bought a few little things, but got a lot of great ideas!

And here is our new and number 5 favorite thing:

Going to White Rock Lake. It is a beautiful lake in the middle of the city with a 9 mile running/biking path around it. So, I got to go running again while everyone else enjoyed a walk. Abram loved it!This is the first time he has ridden in his stoller without his car seat. And I can't believe what a big boy he looks like in there! After our trip to the lake, we ate great Texas BBQ. Spring Creek is Tom's favorite BBQ place. YUM-O!Texas flags everywhere . . . on the doors, on the booth seats . . . you name it!At the end of the day, we had one happy camper!

Jaida's Baby Shower

Last Sunday Allie and I had a baby shower for Jill and Jaida. FUN, FUN, FUN!!Lots of presents, lots of people and lots of yellow frosted cupcakes with pretty pink "j's" in many different fonts. (Unfortunately, I didn't take any good pics of the cute cupcakes.)

And here is little Jaida herself. Although she still looks so little, she weighs 9 1/2 pounds already! She's a rock-star premie baby!
