Cousins

Jen and David (my cousin) Fernandez live in Katy.  David's brother, Sergio (obviously another one of my cousins) and his wife, Sashia, came in town from Portland for a visit.  Brian and Lauren, Stephanie and Jon, and I met up with them for dinner on Saturday night.  It was great catching up with Sergio and meeting his beautiful wife!

New Carpet!

We had new carpet installed!  Dan and his dad ripped out the old carpet and padding and nailed down the floors to stop the annoying creaks and sqeaks.  Now we can walk across the floor without waking up Lydia!  The carpet guys had to move all the furniture and install the new carpet.  SOOOOO much dust.  I had to just leave the house because I wanted to start cleaning before they were done making a mess. 

 The new carpet looks great, and now the house feels so clean.

Early Birthday

We went to Mark's with David and Melissa Hollon on Friday night. 

It was an early birthday celebreation for both me and Melissa.  

The birthday girls!

Dan even gave me my gift, flowers, and a card early!  Thanks hubby dearest.

Play Date

Camille and Pierce came over for a little play date on Friday.  Pierce is so tired of his mom taking his picture that he wouldn't really look at the camera.  

I did catch this cute shot of him. 

He is way too big for Lydia's toys, so he got in the walker and carried it around the house!

Thanks, Camille, for coming over to visit!

I'm it!

Camille tagged me to post the 4th picture in my 4th photo file.  This is me, very pregnant, with my dear friend Marjorie.  The picture was taken at the St. Regis after we had tea (a real tea) with some other friends.  Marjorie and I worked together at ConocoPhillips for 5 years.  She's beautiful and brilliant!!  I miss you!

Girls Weekend

Dan went out of town for work this weekend, so Lydia and I had lots of girls time.  First, Lydia is discovering that things can go underneath other things.  This is apparently very cool and demands lots of looking.

Next, Lydia had her first throw up sickness.  I don't know what was wrong, but she couldn't hold down her food for a day and had a fever.  Aunt Steph and Uncle Jon came over to entertain us.  

We also went to a Super Bowl party at Matt and Angie Foster's house.  Lydia had a great time playing with her "boyfriends." Blake Foster has eyes that rival Lydia's for big blueness.

And she made a new friend, Saber (might be spelling that incorrectly) Lusk.
