We love our new house! So happy to be back in Austin.

Brixton had such a great time in Alabama with everyone. He said he misses MeeMaw and Papa!

He is loving his new room and says he "is happy".

Makes US happy to hear that.

Missing Papa and Auntie Em!

We've been really missing Papa and Auntie Em lately. He cried when they left and everyone in a while sees "Papa's car" in the parking garage.

Wishing you guys were here to play more in the pool with us!
With the hottest summer on record here in 31 years, we've been using it almost every day!

Coffee Tales


This morning on the way to pre-school, I handed Brixton his milk and he then said, " You like coffee mommy?", I said yes, I do....then he said "coffee is for mommies, not babies!" I guess I tell this to him a lot--it was very cute. Mommy does like her coffee!

We've been having a fun weekend --this weekend we went to the Discovery Green and let Brix play on the playground and in the water sprinkler area--really cool downtown park.
Today we swam in the pool and went to Dave & Busters and played--Pretty great weekend.

Having a fun weekend!

Click pics for larger photos







We've been having a great couple days together doing things out as a family!
Friday we went to the Children's Museum together, and today we went to the Houston Aquarium! Brixton saw lots of fishes, snakes, turtles, and rode a train through an underwater shark tunnel. We rode a Ferris wheel too! Lots of fun!

We went to Galveston Island yesterday and cruised around together--today we are planning on going to lunch at an authentic Polish restaurant like the kind they have where Joe and Frank are from.

Happy Father's Day to Papa!
Love you so much and hope you have a great day ;)

New puzzles

We're always trying to find new puzzles for B--these take a lot more dexterity, but he is doing fantastic with them.

I wanted to mention that whenever we go through our parking gate, Brix says "Open Sesame!" which I'm guessing he got from Papa.

Pretty adorable!

Chica Chica Boom Boom tree

His preschool had the Chica Chica Boom Boom tree, and he loves to re-inact the story with it., although he says, Chicken, Chicken Boom Boom! Which always makes me laugh.

His teacher said he was so smart and knew every page and would tell the story.

Thanks, Papa~

Apollo


, originally uploaded by honeyandskiv.

New dog....we had been "test driving" out Apollo, a 4 year old Boston Terrier for the last week, and he is such a calm, sweet, easy going dog. We miss the energy of a dog in the house and have for quite some time...may not be the perfect time to get one, but we just miss having a dog around. We just already enjoy him so much...even Brix takes his leash and tries to walk him around.

Austin weekend

Well...more like 24 hours, but we had a really good time with lots of friends! the sad part is, we were so busy talking and playing with the kids, we hardly got any pictures!

oh well....next time!

Wow! Our Five Year Anniversary--

A lot has happened to say the least! We had a pretty sad anniversary day, but we're hoping to make it up with a cruise at a later date together!
Just reminiscing about Cabo and wishing we were all there together again!

Papas visit

We wish he could have stayed longer!
Brix says he had "fun with Papa" a couple times--Miss you!

Brixton's first pre-school lunch

So, *sniff, sniff* Brixton is off to pre-school tomorrow and I've been geeking out on cute kid's bento box lunches online.
Fun Lunches kids who won't eat anything, will look at and maybe, possibly, eat!

Not that great artistically, but I didn't have a lot to work with tool wise.

Hope he enjoys and eats a little too!

We moved to Houston for treatment


This old news to some, but thought I'd put it out there!
We have faith in MD Anderson & Dr. Reardon, and Joe. This is the place to be for the best cancer treatment around. This IS the place we need to be right now.

Fun in the sun

Astros game!


Astros game!, originally uploaded by honeyandskiv.

We went to the Astros game last night and had a fantastic time!
The stadium was beautiful, new, big, had great food and we had amazing seats in fowl ball territory.
I think most people would say these seats were top notch, but because of all the fowl balls and the baby, we were literally ducking for cover all the time!

This was such a fun family night out.

Sending prayers!

Hoping everyone is doing okay in Alabama!

bathtime and "sea stars"


bathtime, originally uploaded by honeyandskiv.

I have the difficult task of replacing the beloved starfish's common name with "sea star" because, well, the starfish is not a fish....this is a hard concept for a two year old!

What is this thing?

He LOVED the Children's Museum--it was such a blast.

Brix was great on the flight to Houston.

I guess it helps when you get new cool toys and have the IPad!

Puzzle work


, originally uploaded by honeyandskiv.

Decided to make a quick puzzle since all his puzzles have long become too easy and the next level is a bit too hard right now.
I think he liked the glue the best.

Silhouettes



Went into one of the cute kiddo shops here down the street to get a birthday present for a birthday party we are going to Sunday and saw a sign saying they were having a third generation "Cutter" the next day for silhouettes!

Of course we had to get one--they are so cute.
