Texas - Day 9 "4th of July"

Texas - Day 8

It has been really hot here the past few days. Today we woke up and found out that the high for the day was supposed to be 102. That is pretty toasty! Needless to say it limits what we can do during the day. Pretty much all activities have to be done indoors. That said I thought that it would be a great day for my sister and I to go get pedicures. Because what else do you do when it is 102 outside. We had a great time. It was very relaxing and I think the kiddos were pretty good for Jason and my mom while we were gone.

Tonight we went out for supper with Jason's best friend's parents. They are very close to Jason and Erin and are pretty much like another set of parents to them. The food was great and it was good to spend some time with people who are so important to my sister and Jason. Of course Makenna put on the charm and had quite a few people ooh and awe over her.

Texas - Day 7

How do you fill your time while staying with your sister in Texas? You catch up on some much needed relaxation time.

And you watch 6 movies, play Wii with your brother-in-law so many times you loose track, finish at least 1 novel, and watch countless episodes of home improvement shows on Direct TV because back in Iowa you only get 5 channels.

Yep, I sure am enjoying my time here in Texas!

Talking to Daddy

Texas - Day 6

Today my sister had to go back to work. It was the first time she would be away from Jacob for a whole day. I'm not quite sure how she felt about leaving him, but if I would have had to leave Makenna when she was only 8 weeks old to go back to work I think I would have been a little sad. Although she had to leave him at least she knew he would be in good hands.....Makenna's!

Jacob did really well. He did miss his mommy a lot though.

I caught him staring at her picture.

And trying to call her because he just wanted to here her voice and say he missed her.
