Only in Texas...

is every other vehicle a SUV or bigger and can you go to a Mexican food restaurant and have the waiter ask if you want tea, water or Dr. Pepper!!! Man, I missed Texas!!

Josiah and I just spent 10 days down in Texas. We flew down the Tues before Labor Day and came back last Thursday. We had a great time and he did really well flying. I'm sure all the business men and women on our morning flights were excited to see me walk in with a baby, but thankfully he slept the whole time!!
The first few days we spent time in Abilene with my grandmother, Dad and Lauren. During the weekend we spent time with our Labor Day crowd (all of mom's college roomates and families, who we've gone camping every LD weekend before any of us kids were born). This time we stayed in a hotel which I didn't mind since it was hot! I've been spoiled by being up north already...
The last few days we spent with my mom in Dallas. My good friend Bethany also got to meet Josiah, we had a good visit with her!
And were able to see my Aunt, Uncle, cousin and her family. Here's some pictures from that visit:

Josiah, Lisa and cousin Ben

Cousin Ben was nice enough to let Josiah use a swim diaper, it worked even if a little big!

He didn't like his first time in the pool but...

he adjusted, you know he doesn't mind if he's chewing his fingers.


Josiah, Ben and Ben's older brother Kyle.
Three blue-eyed stud muffins!!

During this busy but fun month, Josiah started rolling from his back to his stomach and grabbing his feet!!
August was a month of many firsts:
  • boat ride
  • plane trip
  • time in TX
  • swimming
  • rolling over
  • grabbing feet
  • getting licked by a chihuahua...just kidding Mike!!
  • sticking feet in Lake Superior
  • meeting friends and family
