March 21-27

Monday Dad was surprised to find out he had a mediation.  The other attorney was supposed to be there but he decided not to go and also decided not to tell anyone about it. The client called and Dad jumped on and took care of it.  Unfortunately, it did last most of the day.  He was able to come with us and take care of it in the car.  We went to Buc-ee's and Mom got shirts and goodies to share :) Then we got lunch at East Hampton and drove around  SMU campus and went to the George W. Bush Museum/Library.  It was fun to go through the exhibits.  After that, we came home and made dinner, nacho chicken.  It had poured all day and we ended the day with a tornado warning!  It was scary and the sky was super dark but I don't think a tornado formed.

Tuesday was cold and windy.  Dad and I played tennis in the morning.  Dad had to work all day, so he stayed at the hotel and I got mom to watch Mary while I got ready.  Then we went to the Bishop Arts District.  We got lunch at Eno's Pizza and some pie at Emporium Pies.  We did a little shopping and Mom got me this cute apron.  We got home safely, no thanks to aggressive Dallas drivers.  Then Dad came over and we hung out til Paul got home.  Then we went to the Woodlands American Grill for dinner.  We came home and played some games before calling it a night.


Wednesday we went to Maple Leaf Diner for breakfast.  I wanted to make sure to take the parents here since it is a top spot in Dallas and it is so close to where we live. We spent the morning together before they left to catch their flight to Iowa. 
Thursday Paul had lunch with a visiting professor and got to hear about her research on cancer.
The rest of the week was relaxed.  Mary loves to play by kicking her legs.  I will help her stand or she will push her feet against my hand.  I was talking to Paul on the phone and was sitting on the floor next to the bed and she started kicking me in the face, which she enjoyed. 
She wore the pretty dress Nana and Grandpa brought her on Sunday.  I've also noticed this week that she seems to favor her left hand, so I think she might be left-handed!  That would be fun. 
I hope everyone had a great week!

10 Months   Happy birthday to Hannah on Tuesday.  I was able to vote and then Mary and I went to the library and had a play date with another family in the ward.  Mary turned 10 months on Thursday!  We went to the playground and she absolutely loved the slide.  Friday Addie came over for a play date.  We watched Toy Story, played with Mary's toys and books, and made pumpkin cookies.  I got a cute picture of the girls wearing aprons.  Happy birthday to Grandpa Sam on Saturday.  We went to a little Christmas Market on Saturday morning and it got us in the Christmas shopping mood.  We went to the mall with Matt, Hannah, and Addie afterward.  We got the girls matching pajamas and took pictures with Mall Santa.  Mary was okay at first then got scared. We got our tickets to come to Utah for Christmas.  We can't wait to see everyone!

Minnie Mouse for Halloween   We didn't really do anything for Halloween because Mary is too little for trick or treating but we did watch a Halloween movie when Paul got home from work and we dressed Mary up as Minnie Mouse for the day.  Helping with the dishes Happy birthday to Rachel on Wednesday. Paul went on a work trip to Colorado all day on Friday.  I dropped him off at the airport at 6 am then Mary and I went home and went back to bed for a couple of hours.  It was a rainy, hot, and muggy day but we weren't going to let that keep us at home.  We went to the local library and another mom in the ward came with her 3-year-old and 5-month-old.  We hung out there for probably an hour and a half.  Then Mary and I went to grab some fun groceries for the weekend.  I tried to put Mary down for a nap but she wasn't having it, so I put her back in the car and we drove to the other side of Austin and did an easy nature hike up to the Mount Bonnell look...

  We had a great week this week.  We had Hannah and Addie over on Tuesday and played at the playground at our complex.  Wednesday we went to a bigger park and met up with other moms and kids in the ward.  We played there for two hours.  Paul got to come home early on Wednesday, which was awesome.  We took my car in for an oil change and tire rotation.  I need new tires, so we'll take care of that next week. Thursday was Thanksgiving!  We had Matt, Hannah, and Addie over for dinner.  I made the turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes, as well as the gravy and a camembert appetizer.  Hannah made a yummy feta and berry green salad, fresh homemade rolls, and a rich chocolate cheesecake.  It was a fun evening together.  Hannah brought some crafts for Addie and Mary to make and wear turkey crowns.  We played some games and talked. Friday we drove down to Houston first thing and spent the day at the NASA Johnson Space Center....
