Texas Trip

We have been in Texas for almost 2 weeks, just got back yesterday. While we were there, we attended two weddings and many other family events in between. As always, our daughter was a trooper and tolerated all the busy days and many admirers like a champ. The plane rides to and from were pretty uneventful, just like you'd want them to be (and without drugs, haha!). We saw all our Texas family and friends over the course of our stay and just like always, it was a welcomed break from our sometimes boring life here in Florida. Grammie, Papa K and Uncle Connor had such a good time visiting with Harlow. I think that Uncle Connor was Harlow's favorite (don't tell Grammie or Papa K). Every time he was around her, she would watch him intently and look for him when he left the room. Harlow spent a lot of quality time getting to know her grandparents and uncle. By the time we left, she responded to their faces and voices! Soon she will be calling them by name...if Papa K made any impact that is...he spent a few minutes each day trying to get Harlow to say "PAPA".

One day we took the time to visit the Dallas Aquarium. Harlow really enjoyed all the displays and surprised us by her attention span for all the fast moving fish and other animals. We would like to go back again at Christmastime. We also spent time at Aunt Ali and Uncle Joe's house for a pre wedding pool party. We got to see all the aunts and cousins while we went swimming. It was above 100 degrees almost every day....who would have thought it would be hotter than South Florida??

We already miss everyone. Especially today. I spent my day trying to put our house back in order, but Little Miss Thing was used to about a million people holding to her and talking to her every waking minute. She wanted to know why mommy couldn't do the same for her at home. I finally had to strap her in the Moby and do my housework with her literally attached to me.

Hanging out on the porch before bedtime....perfect lighting!!

I told you I would put this in anyway....so next time SMILE

Why does this child always look her cutest while getting a bath?? Adorable!!!


And on our last day I did a photo shoot by the barn trying to capture that magic hour just before sunset. I had everything ready, except the correct camera settings. Darn it, that is why these have so much noise. And oh yeah...I had a little help at the end with some...errr extra props....(thanks Uncle Sid)











Just another night on the farm


And last but not least, we took her 7 month before we left the house

That should tide everyone over for awhile. Night night.
