Going to Work

Dax spent the night with Grandma while Mommy went to see The Color Purple broadway show at Bass Concert Hall (which was amazing). I picked him up this morning at Grandma's office. While he was there waiting for me, he was looking out the window at all the cars in rush-hour traffic on Mopac. He asked, "where are all those cars going, Gamma?" She told him, "to work". "Are they going to Tokyo?" Reasonable question, don't you think?

Going On A Trip

Tomorrow Daddy leaves for Tokyo again. To celebrate our last day together, we enjoyed a family breakfast at Kirby Lane Cafe. Dax loves their pancakes. This afternoon we spent playing together inside. Dax has a new fireman kit that has a suitcase to store everything. At one point, Dax loaded it up, carried it one hand, with the other hand held Daddy's hand, and announced, "I go on trip with Daddy." It was so sweet.

Help and a "Fight"

We decided to take our guest bedroom set to a consignment shop, since we need to get the room ready for Baby Brother. Uncle Travis came up to help Daddy load everything into the rented truck (Aunt Hollie, Payton, and Grandma came up to visit, too). They worked really hard, and then we enjoyed a nice, family dinner of crawfish ettouffe. We had brownies with whipped cream and sprinkles for dessert, which was a big hit with the kids. We are so grateful to have family that is so willing to help us out.

Dax and Payton had an interesting exchange at one point during the evening. They were playing with football gear and Payton decided to yell, "Texas Fight!" Without missing a beat, Dax yelled back, "Aggies Fight!" That's our boy!
