Hermann Park
One of our favorite things to do is go downtown every couple of months to Hermann Park. Saturday, it was 80, sunny, and beautiful, the ideal day for playing around in the city.
No trip to Hermann Park would be complete without a ride on Little Red Train, or as Charlotte is now calling it, "Thomas" (as in Thomas the Tank Engine).
Rodeo Animals
The Rodeo is a big deal in Houston. Personally, I'm not a fan of watching people ride bulls for hours and then listening to the country music concert that always ensues, so I don't go in for the rodeo proper, but I really like the state-fairish stuff that goes on with it all. I didn't take too many pictures this year, but the three I got are worth displaying: Charlotte adored all the animals, especially the lambs ...
And that ever present pet of the state fair/rodeo circuit, the Corn Dog.

Grey's Six-Month Pics .. and Cha Too
Kelly's Baby Shower
In February, my friend Desiree (pictured on the right) and I threw a baby shower for our good friend Kelly (on the left). Seriously, can you believe this girl was nine months pregnant at the time? She looked amazing. (I'm always sweaty and bloated by the time I am this pregnant. Stinks to have a baby in August.)
While decorations at the shower were minimal (mostly owing to an ice storm the day before), the food was plentiful. The buffet featured four kinds of quiche, brownies, lemon bars, mini cupcakes, two kinds of salads, punch, and a few dozen orange rolls. Yum!

February ... and March
Sorry, sorry, SORRY I have been absent for so long from the blog. Life just gets busier and busier, it seems, and time goes by so quickly that before I even know it, two months have passed, the memory card on the camera is full, and I feel overwhelmed by how far behind I am on the blogging. I'm going to be better now, promise! To make up for these past two months, please enjoy the following MEGA-blog post stuffed with pictures of my cute, chubby kids. Thanks and you're welcome.
My pretty girl has a cheesy grin, as you will see throughout this post.
Grey loves the bath almost as much as Charlotte did. We got some really cute pictures of his chubby bum here but have not posted them because of internet prowlers and also because we don't want him to hate us when he is a teenager.
Charlotte chilled with Stuart Little during her first trip to Chuck E Cheese while Mimi was in town in February. Pizza, soda, flashing lights, music, and a lot of ski ball = Charlotte in heaven.
Sweet Baby Grey in the soft Saturday morning light coming in our bedroom window. Yes, those cheeks are as squishable and kissable as they look.
Charlotte (putting a dish on Grey's head): "Baby Grey's hat!"
Practicing at Tummy Time together.
Grey started to eat food in February. So far: Oatmeal, peaches, applesauce, sweet potatoes, carrots, peas = PASS. Squash and green beans = FAIL.
