Great Weekend

Our family went to meet our nephew in Houston this weekend. We stayed with some long time friends who are like second parents to me. They LOVED having little guy around and little guy thought he had died and gone to heaven - there were cats to play with! The cats and little guy played fetch together pretty well. We had to stop the boy from trying to escape through the kitty door a few times though. He was constantly looking for, signing about and playing with the cats. With a little Benadryl I did fine.

It was a busy weekend. Our new nephew is cute and the family is adjusting well. His sister is SUPER proud and wants to help out as much as possible. We also went to a high school reunion at The John Cooper School. We got a backstage tour of their 12 MILLION DOLLAR Performing Arts Center. It is gorgeous. We remember the days when they didn't have a high school building on the main campus so we had to drive from one part of the Woodlands to another part in the middle of the day. We had our choir classes in a 4th grade science lab, etc. They have come a LONG way in a few years. We also met some very cute kids of our high school friends. It was fun.

On Sunday we went to church (our friends and my brother go to the same church). Afterwards we all went out to brunch which was an unexpected surprise. It was great to just hang out with everyone. Then we said our good byes and packed up. We made more stop to meet up with a college friend and saw his beautiful daughter. We ate at Luby's - we were the youngest ones there by far - but it was fun. We made it home safely and I am so glad we went.

Today we took one of little guy's friends to the zoo with us. Hubbie had the day off so we went as a family to the zoo. Our friends two older siblings started "big school" today - it's really a summer camp - so the youngest one was feeling a little left out. We had a great time at the zoo and then we stopped by the park on the way home - to swing of course. We rested most of the afternoon and are ready to face a new week.
