Texas, Day 15

Max and I have had a great time this week in Texas. It's been nice to spend some extra time with my dad and the rest of our family, but originally we planned to stay for another reason. My friends from college are getting together this weekend, and after missing the past couple of gatherings I knew I just had to figure out how to be here.

The festivities kick off tomorrow, but since this weekend is mostly about having some fun girl time a few of us got our kids together to play for a couple of hours this afternoon. I had never met some of these cuties, so I was so excited. Max didn't know what to think at first, but he warmed up fast. We had a fabulous time!



Everyone is still!

I know you are shocked that Max is trying to steal a cookie in this last one. And sweet Luke let him.

Texas, Days 13-14

I didn't take a single picture yesterday, but it sure was busy. My dad had to be at the hospital yesterday, so Max and I went with my parents out there. Afterwards, the four of us went to North Park for a late lunch and a little bit of shopping. We headed back just in time for Max and I to head out to Frisco for dinner with Grandpa and Aunt Amy. We had a great time, and Max was flat worn out by the time we got home.

Today we planned on doing some things around town, but a call from my dad's doctor ended up sending us back to Dallas for most of the day. He needed to get some fluids (as in through an IV...they didn't just make him sit and drink all day). My mom usually stays with my dad at the hospital, even though he sleeps through most of his treatments, but since Max and I were with her we took a trip back to North Park once we got him settled. I love that mall.

So, to sum up the past two days: driving, food, mall, hospital. Max is such a trooper, though, and he has done great and had a (mostly) great time being out. I don't think he'll know what to do with himself when we get back in a schedule in Mississippi. Yes, we are eventually going back. Only 3 more days in Texas!
















Just a few North Park pictures in the food court and climbing the wall by the ducks. It was so funny to see him watch the big kids do it and then try to do it too. We also got adventurous and let him try some fruit sorbet from Paciugo. We didn't give him much at all, but he loved it. Which is why he screamed like a mad man when we threw it away and he realized he couldn't have the whole thing.

Texas, Day 12




Max went and saw his Grandpa Bill this morning. They had a great time playing and spending time together. Grandpa got to see how Max is getting more mischievous everyday.



Max was fussy in his bath tonight, so Mimi jumped in and played with him. She's a little crazy sometimes, but we love her. They played in the jets, but eventually the warm water and whirlpool put Max right to sleep.

Max has a new face, and he knows how to use it.

Texas, Day 10

Mike headed back to Mississippi on Saturday. Something about having to work or something. We were sad to see him go, but we are obviously thankful for him and everything he does for us!

Later in the day, Max went to see his Aunt Amy while my mom and I went and celebrated National Cheesecake Day at The Cheesecake Factory. Now that's a delicious holiday.
