Trip to San Antonio


Remembering the Alamo
People-watching at the Riverwalk

On top of the Tower of the Americas

With mommy in the Q room

Valentine's Day Dinner with my 2 Valentines
Playing with Daddy is so much fun!
In the Sit & Step "Dirty" & Rebecca loaned us.
He loved it!!!
When Grandy & Mimi dropped us off at the
Memphis airport
Before checking in
On my first plane ride
In the cockpit with the Captain...locating all
the important buttons & the throttle.
Sitting in the Captain's seat...hmm..."How do
I fly this thing?"

Weston & I just returned from a trip to San Antonio. He tolerated air travel pretty well. Each time, he would get fussy for a little bit, then fall asleep to the noise of the engine. I took his picture in the cockpit with the pilot so he could remember his first flight. He also wanted to "remember the Alamo", so we took him there on our way to the Riverwalk. He had a blast watching all the people and boats go by. We also went to the top of the Tower of the Americas and had dinner at the Chart House restaurant. He enjoyed looking out the big windows & it was such a cool view of the city. Will has been going to Oak Hills Church where Max Lucado is pastor, so we went there the Sunday before last. The sermon series right now is The Story from his book (same title). We really enjoyed listening to him. Weston & I had so much fun in San Antonio, and we can't wait to go back.

Hanging Around the House










Giggling with Grandy & Mimi

Look, mom! No hands!
(Standing against the ottoman)



Weston LOVES playing with his feet

His rock climbing wall:)

Enjoying the swing

It was nice outside yesterday...around 70 degrees, so we played on the swingset. Mimi pushed Weston in the baby swing while I documented his first time playing outside. He didn't really like the sun in his eyes, though. I finally took a couple of pictures of our new house for our SC friends to see...we'd love for you to come visit!

Staying Busy


Somebody hated shopping with the girls and is
in need of some "man" time with Daddy

Much happier when we got home!

Ivey Kate & Weston
Chicks Dig Me
We've had a busy week, so far. On Sunday, we went to watch the Superbowl at the Brands' house. Weston and Ivey Kate became friends. On Monday, we ran errands all afternoon with Mimi. Weston was crying at Hobby Lobby until I put several long-stem silk daisies in his hands. He was holding them in his fist like they were balloons, and he had the biggest smile on his face as he looked up at them. I wish I had my camera! Tuesday, we went to lunch with Susannah & Corinne Pace. Today, we took BOTH dogs to the vet. Mimi tagged along for some much needed help. Our new vet's name is Stephen King...remember Pet Cemetery! Weston has been working on some new tricks--pulling himself up to a sitting position. He took his bath sitting up tonight, and he was so proud of himself. He is learning to expect an applause for each of these new tricks. We miss you Daddy and can't wait to see you soon!
