Fun in San Antonio

Daddy had to work at a booth at the AAPG conference held in San Antonio last week so Mommy, Joseph, and Audrey decided to go with him. While Daddy was at work, Mommy and the kids went all over the downtown area. We went to the Alamo and Joseph fed pigeons with a little old man. He had a lot of fun feeding the birds. We also took lots of walks around the Riverwalk. Joseph really loved the boat tour ride around the Riverwalk and wanted to go again and again. One night we ate at our friends Faith and Rudy's favorite mexican restaurant, the Mexican Manhattan. Another night we had dinner with Daddy's friend Brad at The Republic of Texas restaurant along the Riverwalk. We had lunch every day at the RiverCenter mall and sat along the river. Daddy and Mommy bought a double stroller just for the trip to San Antonio. It will probably be something useful to have when the new baby comes along in the fall. Audrey enjoyed the sights and the many opportunities to eat good food. On the last day, Mommy took the kids to the Wax museum and to Ripley's Believe It or Not. Joseph really liked Ripley's and keeps talking about all the strange people and things he saw there. They had an interactive floor that Joseph loved playing on. He didn't want to leave and could have stayed there for many hours. Audrey fell asleep since it took awhile to get through all the exhibits. We were all exhausted by the time we got back to Katy, but it was a fun trip.

First Blog

My friends have some fun blogs about their kids. I have thought that blogging might be a fun way to document what's been going on with the little munchkins, but I never got around to actually setting up a blog until now. I think I will start with current happenings and go from there. Joseph recently turned 3 in April. I can't believe that he is 36 months old! He loves to sing, play at the park, and play online games on the computer. He has always had a very strong will, is very active, and is constantly testing his limits. He's a sweet boy though and will give hugs and kisses and says often that he loves Mommy, Daddy, Audrey, and Sushi (our beagle). Audrey had her first birthday back in March. She is learning how to walk and has taken a few tentative steps on her own. She loves to walk with Mommy or Daddy holding onto her hands. She'll probably be walking on her own very soon. Audrey loves to eat. Daddy lovingly calls her "Pork Chop." She also is a good sleeper and takes a little morning nap and a longer afternoon nap. We just took a fun trip with daddy to San Antonio (will post some pictures later). Daddy had to work at a booth at the AAPG conference so Mommy and the kids walked all around the different attractions near the conference center. It was fun. Maybe the next post will be about the San Antonio trip.
