We may not live in Texas anymore...

But that isn't going to stop us from getting Natalie a cowboy hat and boots! Of course, we did make sure to get her the pink variety.



We just got home from Houston, and just like clock-work, Natalie and I got sick. I think that Natalie had it a little worse than I did, but I had the pleasure of flying home sick. Thankfully, the Southwest plane we were on was only half full, so Natalie had her own seat...which we have found to be the recipe for successful travel with her (we had to find out the hard way though, i.e. hours of screaming on the plane).

We are trying to figure out how to make it back for the Houston Livestock and Rodeo Show while we are living in Philly. We have such fond memories of going to the Rodeo, and just want to continue them. Kristin and I went to the Rodeo every year we were in Houston. I can remember pushing her around in a wheel chair when she was almost 8 months pregnant and on bed rest so we could see George Strait and Martina McBride. We took Natalie when she was almost 1, and now when she could really get into seeing the animals, we most likely will not be able to make it this year.

Fortunately, the boots and hat Natalie have are very big on her right now, so they should fit perfectly next year. Mark it down, we will be in Houston for the Rodeo in 2009. Anyone else want to go??

We don't have any travel plans for at least a month as a family, and we are looking forward to getting into a routine. We have a great church home that we are with 3 times a week. Natalie and Kristin will be going to a swimming class and toddler tumbling once a week at the YMCA. I will be traveling a little more for work, but not for a few more weeks. I will try to keep the blog updated as we get into our routine.
